John Thune's Big Bullshit Bill will hurt South Dakota's Tribal Nations.

John Thune's Big Bullshit Bill is a Big, Blatant Disaster for South Dakota's nine tribal nations.


Here's how:


Energy

The Big Bullshit Bill’s cuts to tribal energy programs will halt clean energy projects across South Dakota’s tribal nations, including some that are already underway.


This undermines efforts for energy independence and economic growth in communities like Pine Ridge and Cheyenne River.


SNAP and Medicaid

Native people disproportionately rely on SNAP and Medicaid funding.


John Thune’s Big Bullshit Bill cuts SNAP and Medicaid without an increase in programs that target and improve health like FDPIR and IHS.


This will strain tribal services and create empty dinner tables as tribal members will be cut off from Medicaid and SNAP.


Education

Pell grants and Federal loans put Native kids on the path to higher education.


45% of Native Students receive Pell grants. They will be disproportionately affected by these cuts.



We need to fight back – now.

John Thune saw the disaster of a bill that Dusty Johnson worked to pass in the House, and didn't just support it – he made it even worse.


Minnehaha County is John Thune's backyard, and we don't take that responsibility lightly. We need every Democrat, Republican, and Independent across South Dakota to call John Thune's office and tell him that you're furious about his support of Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act.


Then, get involved with the Minnehaha County Democratic Party – now, not later. We need all hands on deck to organize the sh*t out of Minnehaha County and elect Democrats up and down the ballot across Sioux Falls – because it's up to us to fight this bill's effects tooth and nail.
