Black Americans critically rely on Medicaid and SNAP. Trump-GOP budget bill cuts nearly $1 trillion.

Republicans in Congress are racing to pass President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which would extend his 2017 tax cuts and make significant spending cuts to Medicaid and food assistance totaling nearly $1 trillion. The legislation, which is being advanced without any support from Democrats, is being slammed by critics who say it would overwhelmingly benefit wealthy Americans and corporations at the expense of steep cuts to social programs that millions rely on. Most notably, recipients of the […]

Trump and GOP tax bill puts billionaires over Black lives, experts warn

Though a Republican-led tax bill expanding President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, among other tax and spending provisions, was stalled in Congress on Friday, Black elected leaders, advocates, and tax experts are still sounding the alarm on the plan that they say largely benefits billionaires and threatens the livelihoods of Black Americans. Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives will continue to work on the controversial reconciliation bill through the weekend. House Speaker Mike Johnson hopes to advance it to […]

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signs bill to tap unused ACA insurance funds for abortion grant program

Maryland will become the first state to use money collected from a surcharge on insurance plans sold under the Affordable Care Act to fund a program to pay for abortions, regardless of a patient’s insurance coverage, under a measure signed into law Tuesday by Democratic Gov. Wes Moore. The law will make about $25 million available when it takes effect July 1, because a $1 surcharge has been unused and growing over the last 15 years since the ACA took effect in […]

House Republicans unveil bill to avoid shutdown and they’re daring Democrats to oppose it

 House Republicans unveiled a spending bill Saturday that would keep federal agencies funded through Sept. 30, pushing ahead with a go-it-alone strategy that seems certain to spark a major confrontation with Democrats over the contours of government spending. The 99-page bill would provide a slight boost to defense programs while trimming nondefense programs below 2024 budget year levels. That approach is likely to be a nonstarter for most Democrats who have long insisted that defense and nondefense spending move in the same […]

Chris Brown jokes that he wants Trump put on the $100 bill for this reason

R&B superstar Chris Brown says Donald Trump would make him a very happy man if he set his sights on the IRS once he’s back in the Oval Office. Posting on his Instagram stories (the 24-hour vanish rule matters little when you’re a celebrity), Brown wrote with a hard eyes emoji: “Anyone else hoping that Trump shuts down the IRS?” “If he pulls that off… PUT THAT MAN ON… THE hundred dollar bill,” he continued with a laughing face emoji.

Higher Social Security payments coming for millions of people from bill that Biden signed

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Sunday signed into law a measure that boosts Social Security payments for current and former public employees, affecting nearly 3 million people who receive pensions from their time as teachers, firefighters, police officers and in other public service jobs. Advocates say the Social Security Fairness Act rights a decades-old disparity, though it will also put strain on Social Security Trust Funds, which face a looming insolvency crisis. The bill rescinds two provisions — the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset — […]
