Some lesser-known parts of the Republican budget bill that you need to know about. There's a good chance they'll affect you or your family. If this bill passes…🧵⬇️
A LOT of people don't realize Medicaid is what's paying for their parents' nursing home. Or that they're getting their healthcare from the Affordable Care Act. Or that their kids can eat lunch because of SNAP. This budget isn't for you. It's for the billionaires.
How will CA members of Congress @KenCalvert and @RepDavidValadao explain these huge healthcare funding losses? These 15 Congressional Districts Would See Large Medicaid Funding Losses Under Republican House Budget Resolution americanprogressaction.org/article/these-…
This week at CBPP, we focused on the #FederalBudget and #health. cbpp.org/blog/in-case-y…
40 million families use SNAP to put food on the table. Trump and Republicans are literally raising grocery bills for millions to give millionaires a $350 BILLION tax break. Wake up.
The House Republican budget released today by Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington is an extreme giveaway to the wealthy at the expense of families who already have a hard time making ends meet.
In America, we have $4.5 Trillion for tax breaks for the rich, but don't have $20 billion to end homelessness. newsweek.com/republicans-re…
Dear @DOGE, If you're looking for fraud, the private insurance industry stole $50 billion from taxpayers through their Medicare Advantage scam. And if you're looking to cut spending, universal healthcare with Medicare for All would save $650 billion per year.
Republican proposals could cut rental assistance for many families, putting them at risk of eviction and homelessness. Insufficient funding, rent hikes, and harsh work requirements could worsen housing insecurity and hinder efforts to reduce homelessness. cbpp.org/research/housi…
With some Republicans considering cuts & harmful policy changes to #SNAP this year, let’s take a closer look at SNAP’s links to better health & lower health care costs.
Congress must ensure that a final appropriations bill provides sufficient funding for the Housing Choice Voucher program to maintain current assistance and prevent nearly 330,000 households from losing their homes. cbpp.org/research/housi…

At a time of massive income inequality, Trump wants more tax breaks for billionaires. He wants to pay for those tax cuts by throwing millions off of Medicaid. Unacceptable. We must fight back. Health care is a human right. Billionaires must pay their fair share in taxes.
One of the scariest things about these fires is how many more people may be realizing what hundreds of thousands of Californians and Americans already know - there is no housing safety net. calmatters.org/housing/homele…
NEW: Trump's 2017 tax cuts delivered a cut for the richest 0.1% of Americans that was 277x larger than the one teachers and firefighters got, nearly doubling U.S. billionaire wealth. Lawmakers must prevent a repeat in 2025. @owenslindsay1 of @groundwork: otherwords.org/trump-plans-a-…
A lot of people are working very hard right now to distract you from this, to distract you from the fact that denying you healthcare is making a few people very rich.
For decades, the predatory prison telecom system has charged people who are incarcerated $5 or more just to make a 15-min phone call—people who earn pennies per hour, if anything. This holiday season, take action to ensure everyone can stay connected: benjerrys.co/4isuCXv
Pulling people over for minor traffic violations exacerbates racial injustice and does not create public safety. Vera, @ColorOfChange, and @amprog have submitted feedback and recommendations to @usdot to ensure non-public-safety traffic stops END. americanprogress.org/article/4-ways…
Powerful op-ed from Michelle Parris & @CalMatters unpacking the passing of Proposition 36, despite the support Californian's have consistently shown for treatment services.
NEW op-ed from @verainstitute's Michelle Parris in @CalMatters: "Many are asking: Is the movement for criminal justice reform in California dead? The answer is no." Read more on why the media and our elected officials must do better ⤵️ calmatters.org/commentary/202…
