1/ @lilyroberts.bsky.social on the #OBBBA's impact, a year later: "Families, communities, and states will have to shift resources to compensate for federal defunding of social programs, and are likely to spend less on education and economic investment." equitablegrowth.org/the-one-big-... -🧵-

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, one year later: Parsing the evidence on the law’s consequences so far

One year after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was passed, research shows that its cuts to social programs negatively impact U.S. families.

Republicans' hugely unpopular bill is law; will they pay the electoral price for it they should? My research with @patrick-sullivan.bsky.social for @equitablegrowth.bsky.social has good news: voters informed about the bill's effects overwhelmingly oppose it. equitablegrowth.org/americans-in...

Americans informed about the distributional effects of Republicans’ tax and budget bill overwhelmingly oppose it

Republicans’ tax and budget bill would, if enacted, be the most regressive U.S. tax and budget law in at least the past four decades.

Just days after President Trump signed his federal budget bill into law, EG is responding, highlighting why this is the most regressive piece of tax/budget legislation to be passed in recent memory. Read our full statement below. ⬇️ equitablegrowth.org/press/equita...

Equitable Growth responds to passage of the federal budget bill

The federal budget bill dramatically exacerbates inequality by sending more than 50 percent of its tax benefits to the top 10 percent of U.S. households

Today, I was asked by Newsweek to comment on the dangerous implications of the BBB's slash to Medicaid. I had a whole lot to say. Since I know only a small share of it will wind up in the article, I'm including here the entirety of what I wrote today. open.substack.com/pub/miranday...

The Danger of the Not-So-Beautiful Bill

Today, I was asked by Newsweek to comment on the adverse impact of the not-so-beautiful bill to dismantle America’s safety net.

7/ Maybe that’s part of the reason why the bill is so unpopular? The more people know about it, the more they hate it, per EG collaborators @jacobhacker.bsky.social & @patrick-sullivan.bsky.social. equitablegrowth.org/working-pape... - END 🧵-

Americans Informed About the Distributional Effects of Republicans’ Budget Bill Overwhelmingly Oppose It

Survey results show that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is broadly unpopular—overwhelmingly so after respondents learned of its regressive distributional effects.

Legitimately feel sick. We are hours away from the largest cuts to low-income people in history. People’s lives will be ruined. It is so unfair. It’s unfair to be born into a system that allows this level of poverty in the first place and it’s evil to rip away aid from the needy. Hard to watch this.

Patrick Sullivan@patrick-sullivan.bsky.social · last yr.

Trying to stay cautiously optimistic that we will see a few "profiles in courage" in the House today in the form of "NO" votes on the most regressive tax and budget bill in living memory It's cruel, it will harm vulnerable Americans, and the public absolutely HATES it www.cnn.com/2025/06/20/p...

Analysis: The many ugly polls on Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump isn’t asking Congress to do much these days. In fact, it often seems like he’d rather he didn’t have to bother with the legislative branch at all.

You know what’s agonizing? Not being able to get medical attention when you’re sick because you got dropped from Medicaid. Rationing meds because you can’t afford it without insurance. Realizing you don’t have enough food for you and your family because your SNAP benefits were reduced. You own this.

Steven T. Dennis@steventdennis.bsky.social · last yr.

Lisa Murkowski talks to the press shortly after she voted, quietly, “aye” on Trump’s tax bill. She said she hopes the House and Senate go to conference to improve it and called her vote “agonizing.”

Brendan Duke@brendanvduke.bsky.social · last yr.

NEW: The Senate version of One Big Beautiful Bill is one big ugly transfer of wealth from low-income families to the rich. Americans struggling to get by will pay more for groceries & health care so the highest income families can get big tax cuts. This isn’t shared sacrifice.

As Republicans expedite their efforts to rip health coverage from millions of Americans, re-upping my writing on the not so-beautiful bill. First, my piece in The Hill w/ @mshepruralpolitics.bsky.social on harms to rural (conservative) communities (ex: hospital closures). thehill.com/opinion/heal...

Medicaid cuts will harm rural Republican communities most

Trump’s budget will actively harm the health and incomes of rural communities and Republican voters, well beyond those who themselves are enrolled in Medicaid.

Bobby Kogan@bbkogan.bsky.social · last yr.

As @brendanvduke.bsky.social says, this isn’t a case of shared sacrifice. The bill isn’t asking everyone to tighten their belts a little in the name of deficit reduction. Instead it’s asking the poorest to tighten their belts so the richest can loosen their belts. That is profoundly unfair.

E.J. Dionne@ejdionne.bsky.social · last yr.

The Senate is racing to pass “a stand alone in history—a reconciliation bill that drives up poverty and the number of people uninsured, while increasing deficits and debt.” @centeronbudget.bsky.social How many GOP Senators who will vote for it think this is a good idea? www.cbpp.org/press/statem...

“Legislation speaks louder than words.” Excellent analysis by @jacobhacker.bsky.social & @patrick-sullivan.bsky.social of the bill before the Senate today that is “the most regressive, least populist policy package in memory.” It’s terrible on tax equity, heath care & hunger.

"It would shift more resources up the income ladder than any bill passed since scorekeepers started keeping track." In this opinion piece, @jacobhacker.bsky.social and @patrick-sullivan.bsky.social highlight four most regressive aspects of the 'Big Beautiful Bill.' www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

1 in 5 Americans depends on Medicaid to access health care. 1 in 7 Americans depends on SNAP for their food security. These cuts— all to funnel tax cuts to the wealthiest— will cause needless suffering & death, not just among the poor: when rural hospitals close (which they will), everyone loses.

Jim Goldgeier@jimgoldgeier.bsky.social · last yr.

“the legislation appears on track to cut Medicaid by about 18 percent and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by roughly 20 percent” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Patrick Sullivan@patrick-sullivan.bsky.social · last yr.

Great to speak with @michaelmechanic.bsky.social the other day regarding a recent study @jacobhacker.bsky.social and I conducted examining attitudes toward the GOP's historically regressive budget bill. First, the bill is already VERY unpopular www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ordinary Republicans hate Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill"—once they know what it does

Solid support turns to strong opposition, a new Yale study shows.

"the parts of the bill that are most expensive -- things like the big deductions for business income -- almost no-one knows about. The parts that are cheap and don't really change people's lives... a lot of people know about."
