Families in our community rely on Medicaid programs - like Early Intervention - to support their children. Hear one story.
NEWS: According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, the Republican Medicaid proposals would take health care coverage away from millions of Americans.

In today’s FSC hearing, I pressed Treasury Secretary Bessent on Elon Musk’s hack of the Treasury Department payment systems.
Sec. Bessent conveniently avoided the truth in his responses to my questions.

Sec. Bessent also denied that the Treasury payment systems are responsible for $5 trillion in disbursements and described the job of managing those payments as a “tech upgrade”. 5/

Sec. Bessent admitted Krause replaced Lebryk, but bizarrely denied the scope of the job of Assistant Fiscal Secretary. 4/
