Trump’s trade deals are stalling out at the worst possible time » CNN

"Senate Republicans over the weekend decided to move forward on the big, ugly bill to rip healthcare coverage from 17 million people, deprive millions of food assistance, and use that money to pay (only partially!) for gigantic tax cuts for the super-rich. Their version is far worse than the House’s handiwork; Senate Republicans want to cut more than $1 trillion from Medicaid. Apparently, they concluded the House’s $700 billion cut did not throw a sufficient number of people off their healthcare coverage. An estimated 17 million (including those priced out of the Affordable Care Act exchanges) would lose healthcare coverage."

The Contrarian's Jennifer Rubin

The Contrarian's Jennifer Rubin argues Senate Republicans advanced Trump's Big Beautiful bill cutting $1T from Medicaid, stripping healthcare & food aid from millions, to fund tax cuts for the super-rich.
