CBO: Nearly 11 million people will be uninsured if GOP megabill becomes law
Nearly 11 million people would lose health insurance under the House Republican tax bill, mostly due to cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
The CBO's latest report estimates that 10.9 million people would be uninsured over the next decade if the spending package, which includes much of President Trump's legislative agenda, were enacted.
That total includes an estimated 1.4 million ...
Trump tax bill would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over a decade: CBO
President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” would add $2.4 trillion to the nation’s deficit over roughly the next decade, a new cost estimate from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) shows.
The agency estimated the proposed tax cuts in the plan — which seek to lock in expiring provisions in Trump signature 2017 tax law, along with a host of other add-ons — would decrease revenues by more than $3.6 trillion over that time frame.
Meanwhile, accompanying measures...

Republicans seek ObamaCare rollback in Trump’s megabill
Republicans are seeking a major rollback of ObamaCare coverage under the House-passed megabill that would result in millions of people losing insurance coverage to help pay for President Trump's tax cut extension.
The changes, which echo some of the debate surrounding the 2017 effort to repeal the health care law, have largely flown under the radar amid the heated debate over the bill's billions of dollars in Medicaid cuts.
Democrats want to change th...

New York lieutenant governor launches primary challenge against Hochul
New York Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado will challenge Gov. Kathy Hochul in the governor's race next year, becoming the first prominent Democrat to launch a primary challenge against his current boss.
Delgado’s announcement on Monday doesn’t come as a major surprise, as he revealed in February that he didn’t plan to run for reelection as lieutenant governor next year but would explore “all options.”
Hochul appointed Delgado to serve as her second-in-command in 20...
Medicaid cuts will harm rural Republican communities most
Though President Trump promised a “big beautiful” budget bill, what narrowly passed the House of Representatives in the early morning hours of May 22 will be anything but a big beautiful win for millions of marginalized Americans, and Medicaid beneficiaries won’t be the only ones who feel the pinch.
In fact, if passed, this legislation would destabilize the publicly insured and privately insured alike, especially in America’s many rural communities.
Trump’s budget d...
Schumer vows to fight GOP megabill ‘with everything we’ve got’
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) is vowing in a letter to Democratic colleagues that the party will oppose the massive bill intended to implement President Trump’s agenda “with everything we’ve got.”
“This partisan monstrosity is nothing short of a billionaire handout paid for by American families and we will fight it with everything we’ve got,” Schumer wrote in a June 1 letter to Senate Democrats.
He called the bill, which Republicans are moving thro...
Trump 2.0 is the final victory of the John Birch Society
In 1958, a group of prominent business leaders founded the John Birch Society. Led by Robert Welch, inheritor of a vast candy fortune, these titans of wealth believed a vast communist conspiracy had penetrated the U.S. government.
In “The Blue Book of the John Birch Society,” Welch presented an apocalyptic vision where politics was no longer a staid battle between the two political parties but a conflict “between light and darkness; between freedom and slavery;...
