New Congressional Budget Office (CBO) numbers confirm what we already knew – the reconciliation bill is getting worse, not better. The Senate bill will cut health care more deeply than the House bill and leave more people uninsured. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

It only takes a little math to dissect what the One Big Beautiful Bill is all about - Securing tax cuts for wealthy people on the backs of people who will have their health coverage and food assistance taken away.

Senate Republican leaders appear to be barreling ahead with their harmful reconciliation bill. Reminder that the Republican health agenda would take us backward on covering the uninsured, largely reversing #ACA gains. 👎 (h/t @pkrugman.bsky.social for the graphic idea)

The latest Senate Republican plan retains a deeply harmful provision that tramples over state rights’ to make decisions about how to use their own funds to ensure their state residents can access comprehensive health coverage.

The Senate quietly stripped veterans, people experiencing homelessness, and young people who recently aged out of foster care of their current exemptions from SNAP's harsh work requirement. CBO estimates this change alone would cut 270,000 people off SNAP. thehill.com/opinion/cong...

Let's be clear: The Senate Republican bill would take away health coverage and food assistance from millions of people who need it — all to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

#CTC changes in the House tax bill leave behind the 17M children who currently get less than the full $2k credit. The bill increases the max to $2,500 for 4 yrs (then drops back to $2k), which gives these 17M a $0 increase but showers higher-income families w/ 2 kids w/ an extra $1,000.

The House W&M bill includes a slew of tax cuts for wealthy ppl. One glaring omission: an extension of enhanced premium tax credits. And that's a major reason 13.7M would be uninsured per CBO's early look at proposals in the House E&C bill. democrats-energycommerce.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The House Ways and Means tax bill released today is skewed in favor of rich people, is even more costly than the original 2017 law, and fails to deliver for working-class families and small businesses. A thread 🧵

Samantha Jacoby on X: House Rs’ tax bill includes a new federal tax credit to subsidize private school vouchers — effectively the first nationwide voucher program. Plus, it’s structured as a costly tax break for the wealthy w/an egregious capital gains tax loophole. It should be rejected.

House Must Adopt Senate Plan Allowing D.C. To Spend Its Own Funds | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

The legislation enacted earlier this month to fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal year 2025 will deeply harm the District of Columbia. It will force D.C. to cut its fiscal year 2025...

The House may vote as soon as tomorrow on a federal government funding bill that contains a hidden, devastating surprise for the District of Columbia: a requirement that DC drastically slash its budget halfway through the fiscal yr, causing immediate cuts to police, schools, transportation & more.
