The Trump Admin claimed that #SNAP benefits aren't available for Nov 2025 b/c SNAP’s “contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.” This stands in opposition to the law & prior practice, incl. by the Admin itself. @michleague.bsky.social @centeronbudget.bsky.social
Food isn't a luxury. People need #SNAP and food banks can't make up the difference. "...when you pull $15 billion a month out of a national economy and expect charity to step in and nobody miss a beat. That’s unrealistic.” - Phil Knight @michleague.bsky.social #Shutdown #ShutdownCrisis
Michigan's budget does make some progress, but there are still some major gaps, including early childhood funding. Cuts to Michigan's Great Start system are especially alarming. #MiLeg @michleague.bsky.social #MIBudget2026

Opinion | Protect Michigan families’ health care not tax breaks for the wealthy - Bridge Michigan
Small business owners, self-employed workers and middle-income families across Michigan would face impossible choices. Some would be forced to drop coverage altogether.

Young adults are already struggling and their healthcare premiums are about to DOUBLE. @economicsecurityproject.org
economicsecurity.bsky.social@economicsecurityproject.org · 11mo ago1/ Starting Nov.1, 24 million people who receive their healthcare insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces will see their premiums DOUBLE because of cuts to ACA subsidies and Medicaid passed by Congressional Republicans. Young adults will be hit the hardest.
The Senate voted to add $3.3 trillion to the national deficit & decimate the social safety net all to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. Bezos doesn’t need more money for ridiculous weddings. People need food & healthcare. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...

About 1 in 10 veterans use #Medicaid The big, beautiful bill does nothing to protect them.
Robin Rudowitz@robinr.bsky.social · last yr.Over the past decade, the number of veterans has declined, but the percent of veterans with #Medicaid has increased - now about 1 in 10 veterans has #Medicaid coverage and 3 of 4 veterans are age 50+. www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...
Yesterday the Senate Health Policy Committee held a hearing about the federal cuts to #Medicaid. #Mileg Real people will be harmed.

There is nothing beautiful about taking away healthcare and food. Take action now.
MichLeague.bsky.social@michleague.bsky.social · last yr.League President and CEO @monique-stanton.bsky.social issued the following statement today on behalf of the #protectmicare coalition following congressional passage of the so-called “Big, Beautiful” bill: 📕 Read the full statement: bit.ly/44PxWrb 🔥 Take action: bit.ly/42HCdvm
“I resent people calling my fellow Michiganders waste, and I resent people calling my fellow Michiganders abuse, and I resent people calling my fellow Michiganders fraud. None of those things are what’s happening. What is happening is our government is being unresponsive to the needs of its people.”
Just a reminder, 83% of Michiganders think Medicaid funding should be increased or stay the same. There is widespread support for Medicaid. The cuts will be devastating. #Medicaid
Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social · last yr.We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
As you go to bed tonight, the House Committee has scheduled a 1 am hearing to vote on taking away healthcare from millions of Americans. If this was popular, they wouldn’t be doing it in the middle of the night.
Under the cover of night, the House is planning radical cuts to health care. People’s access to care will be terminated. The loss of coverage will make people sicker. And people will lose their lives. The time to act is now. This isn’t hyperbole.
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · last yr.The CBO finds that if the Reconciliation Bill goes through: -7.6 million people would lose coverage because of Medicaid changes -1 million would lose it because of changes to the ACA from E&C -2.1 million would lose it because of changes by Ways and Means www.cbo.gov/publication/...
The House plan takes away healthcare from millions and will make it harder to afford and access care.
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities@centeronbudget.bsky.social · last yr.Nearly 14M people could lose their health coverage under the House plan with more facing higher costs. Cuts to #Medicaid and #ACA marketplace coverage would make it harder to afford care for chronic conditions or emergencies. Here are some of the impacts: www.cbpp.org/research/hea...
