Congress is poised to pass one of the most destructive economic bills in generations. It will gut Medicaid, slash food aid for families, shutter rural hospitals—just to give tax breaks that will go overwhelmingly to the wealthy. It is a staggering upward redistribution of income. 1/

It’s cruel by design and terrible for the economy. The Senate must reject H.R.1. www.epi.org/press/epi-co...

CBO confirms it: No matter how Republicans slash Medicaid, millions lose health care. Why? To fund tax breaks that will go overwhelmingly to the rich. Shameless. www.cbo.gov/system/files...

Many now understand that Trump’s attacks on judges, law firms, universities, non-profit groups, and the media are all related—all part of a fascist power grab.

Welp, the federal minimum wage is now officially a poverty wage (as in, a full-time worker earning the federal minimum wage gets paid less than the poverty line for a single person). www.epi.org/blog/the-fed...
