One of Sen. Ernst's constituents points out that people are going to die if Republicans' cuts to Medicaid go through. Ernst's response? "Well, we all are going to die." Republicans know exactly what they are doing—all so billionaires can get another tax cut.

Wow, the House Republican tax bill would increase gas prices. By a lot. Up to 37¢ per gallon! New numbers published by CAP show how ending clean energy investment props up demand for fossil fuels, raises prices, and makes households pay an extra $400b over the next decade to Big Oil and Gas.

Excerpt from the Center for American Progress piece published at https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-house-republican-plan-to-increase-gas-and-electricity-prices/ The House Republican bill would: Raise gasoline prices by 25 cents to 37 cents per gallon by 2035 as demand for oil increases due to the termination of federal electric vehicle affordability programs, fuel economy standards, and tailpipe emission standards. Repeal the financial support for buying new, used, or leased electric vehicles, which would keep between 22 million and 40 million more gasoline-powered cars and trucks on the road through 2035, as roughly one-third of families who would have tried to switch to an electric vehicle can no longer afford one. Increase electricity prices for households and industry as roughly two-thirds of the wind and solar that was previously expected to be deployed this decade is not built. This would cause annual home electric bills to jump $70 by 2031. This corroborates other analysts who found, in some cases even higher electricity price increases. The Clean Energy Buyers Association forecasts an increase of $110 in household electricity spending by 2026. Force Americans to pay the oil and gas industry an additional $339 billion for gasoline and $75 billion for electricity by 2035.

Don’t let this Friday news dump get buried: Social Security is cutting 90% of regional workforce — and shifting all public communications exclusively to Elon Musk’s X. They are dismantling public services in plain sight.

SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

Public health is pandemic preparedness. If the Trump administration continues to pursue policies that hurt the middle class and fails to control the spread of bird flu, egg prices could remain high just before Easter and Passover. Just out from CAP: www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

How the Trump Administration’s Economic and Public Health Policies Are Driving Up Egg Prices

The Trump administration’s mishandling of the avian flu outbreak is raising prices for businesses and families.
