In a new @GtownLawPovCntr analysis, we ran the numbers to reveal the unfair tradeoffs in the "big, beautiful bill" which takes health care & food away from the many to pay for tax cuts for the few.
We also ran numbers by state. The results are staggering.

New Census data show that child poverty remained much higher in 2024 than in 2021, when the #ChildTaxCredit expansion & other pandemic relief sharply lowered poverty & reduced racial inequities.
Biggest Takeaway: policies matter & poverty is a policy choice!

The big winners of the #BigUglyBill will be the small percentage of people who make over $500,000 per year, while millions will lose health care & food assistance. It's striking that this is particularly true even for some groups that disproportionately voted for Trump:

The numbers don’t lie. The Senate just passed a bill that takes health care & food away from the many to pay for tax cuts for the few.
These unfair trade-offs in the Senate bill are just as bad as they were in the House bill. (And it makes our debt soar!!)

New report: about $1 in every $3 of state spending comes from federal funds, & that longstanding support is vital to families, communities, & state economies nationwide. Emerging Trump & congressional GOP proposals could threaten broad swaths of it very soon. Here’s how (🧵):
Emerging Republican federal budget proposals could cut funding for essential services, forcing states to pay more or reduce health care, education, and food aid—harming millions and straining local budgets. www.cbpp.org/research/sta...

Though ending birthright citizenship has been previewed in Project 2025 and remarks by President Trump ahead of inauguration, it’s still astonishing to see the new Administration take aim at babies born in our nation through this unconstitutional policy.

A new CBO report comparing several measures of income and poverty underscores that government assistance programs have done a lot of good since 1979. Unfortunately, some readers have misconstrued the findings. Let’s take a look.
