WASHINGTON (AP) — "#Republicans in Congress are moving with rapid speed to advance President Donald Trump’s big bill of #TaxBreaks, #SpendingCuts and beefed-up border security funding as leaders work to enact many of his campaign promises.

"House committees have been laboring for months to draft the legislation, which Republicans have labeled 'THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,' a nod to Trump himself. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to approve the package and send it to the Senate by Memorial Day.

"Democrats say they will fight what House party leader #HakeemJeffries calls 'this extreme and toxic bill.' "

What's in Trump's big bill? Trillions in tax cuts, Medicaid changes and more

Republicans in Congress are moving with rapid speed to advance President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks, spending cuts and beefed-up border security funding. House committees have been laboring to draft the legislation, which Republicans have labeled “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL." Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to approve the package and send it to the Senate by Memorial Day. Democrats say they will fight what House party leader Hakeem Jeffries calls the “extreme Republican agenda.” The package contains more than $5 trillion in tax cuts while making changes to Medicaid, food assistance and other programs.

Medical and health research is vital to medicine and public health. There are already real world impacts felt around the country and around the world. People are dying, medical breakthroughs being delayed or prevented, and we are dismantling protections against #environmentalhazards. To put it in terms of money: health research grant money has a tangible #roi. It is not a money sink: we get more than we put in.

Access to healthcare is also being threatened with cuts to Medicaid which would prevent many who currently qualify from qualifying in the future. This means more #humans being kept from health insurance. A trip to the doctor is no longer a question of time or coinsurance but instead a decision between #life with crippling #debt or #death. #republicans are pushing for these cuts so their rich buddies pay even less in taxes and we can spend more the military. They are responsible for when you or your loved ones are faced with the decision between debt and death.

'Under Cover of Night,' #GOP Unveils Plan to Kick Over 8 Million Off Medicaid

"This bill confirms what we've been saying all along: #Trump and #Republicans have been lying when they claim they aren't going to cut #Medicaid and take away people's #healthcare."

Jake Johnson
May 12, 2025

"House Republicans late Sunday unveiled legislation that analysts said would rip Medicaid coverage from millions of low-income Americans—including children and people with disabilities—to help fund #TaxBreaks that would disproportionately benefit the #wealthy."

Day 32 🗳️💨

Things are coming in thick and fast today, so I’ll try to summarise the major themes.

No Policies of the #Liberal, #LNP and #Coalition.

#AngusTaylor (Opposition Treasurer, Liberal) hands in his #Economics homework late, it’s got problems.

A 🎃 derivative that is toxic ☢️

“A Coalition government would drive the #budget deeper into #deficit over the coming two years, as the shadow finance minister, #JaneHume, insisted her party’s plan to save $17.2bn by #slashing the number of #Canberra-based #PublicServants by 41,000 through “natural attrition” was achievable.”

If returned to power, the Coalition would gut a long list of environment and clean energy programs, including #scrapping the #NetZero #Economy #Agency, reversing Labor’s #TaxBreaks for #ElectricVehicles, and redirecting money slated for the #HomeBatteries program.

#Reversing tax incentives for green hydrogen would save $1.5bn over four years, and not proceeding with Labor’s critical mineral production tax credits would save $1.2bn, the Coalition’s election policy costings show.”

#AusPol / #treasury / #costings / #economy / #future <https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/may/01/coalition-costings-federal-election-promises-larger-deficit-cut-foreign-aid-environment-clean-energy>

Coalition costings reveal larger deficit over coming two years with cuts to foreign aid and environment programs

Long-awaited costings of more than 200 policies show Coalition would gut long list of environment and clean energy programs if returned to power
