Congresswoman Susie Lee gathered families, healthcare providers and advocates in Las Vegas on Friday to raise concerns about potential Medicaid funding cuts in the federal budget.

Congresswoman Susie Lee (NV-03) joined local families, healthcare providers, and nonprofit organizations at the Collaboration Center to raise concerns about the potential impact of federal funding cuts to Medicaid proposed in the Congressional Republicans' budget.

Nevada Congresswoman Susie Lee joined the protest on Friday, expressing her frustration with the federal budget cuts. "Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off!" Lee said, warning that the job cuts at the VA are just the beginning. "They're coming after your Medicaid, they're coming after Medicare, they're coming after your social security," she added, criticizing what she described as illegal executive orders from the Trump Administration.

"I'm supporting the Taxpayer Data Protection Act because it will protect Americans’ private data from Elon Musk and his reckless DOGE employees," Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., wrote on X. "Republican leadership has to let us vote. If they don’t, it only takes three lone Republicans to join us and make it happen."

"[It's] very simple. Its sole purpose is to speed up federal land transactions," said Congresswoman Susie Lee, (D) Nevada, of the legislation. "It's not a silver bullet, but it's certainly a commonsense way to cut government red tape and speed up home building."

Congresswoman Susie Lee — the author of the Accelerating Appraisals and Conservation Act in the House of Representatives — and U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto said the bipartisan bill was a small but important step in building new houses in Nevada.
