Today marks 60 years of Medicaid, a program that has transformed access to care for millions. But instead of honoring that legacy, Republicans in Congress passed Trump's budget bill last month, gutting Medicaid & imposing burdensome work reporting requirements intended to kick people off.

IRS Chief Says Direct File Is ‘Gone,’ Other Audit Tech Is Coming
The Biden-era IRS free filing tool, Direct File, is “gone,” IRS Commissioner Billy Long said.
Direct File was an easy way for Americans to file their taxes for FREE each year.
It's a no-brainer — and it's popular. So why in the world did the Trump administration kill it?
To give a huge handout to giant tax prep companies like TurboTax that rip Americans off.

This is the kind of policy that would make a meaningful difference for women, children, families and early educators. We won’t ever get to a robust and equitable child care system with rinky-dink tax credits.

We have until TOMORROW to fight back against Trump's new sneak attack on civil rights protections.
They’re using something called a “Direct Final Rule” to force the passage of harmful rules without time for meaningful public feedback. Take action now: Text COMMENT to 32434.

GOP tax bill could hurt the poorest households more than it helps them
Cuts to Medicaid and anti-poverty programs wipe out gains low-income households could see from policies like no taxes on tips and overtime, nonpartisan estimates show.
Funding cuts to Medicaid and other programs included in the sweeping tax-and-spending bill would hurt low-income households financially more than the tax cuts would boost their finances, according to nonpartisan analyses of the bill.

A line graph showing that the 2021 Thrifty Food Plan revision meaningfully increased average SNAP benefits per person per day.
Republican proposals Congress may consider this year could cut food assistance for tens of millions, reshaping #SNAP and weakening programs that help children in low-income families access the food they need. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...
