Republicans say the tax breaks in their Big Ugly Bill will benefit everyone. But here’s what @mecep.bsky.social data actually shows: The top 1% of Maine households (those making $817,400+) will get an average tax cut of $34,000 in 2026. And the poorest Mainers? $30 a year. Thirty. Dollars.

A vertical bar graph titled “How the Big Bullshit Bill Tax Breaks Will Impact Mainers (By income group, 2026),” using data from the Maine Center for Economic Policy. Seven income groups are shown, each with a downward green or brown bar representing the average tax cut they would receive.
• Below $30,700: –$30
• $30,700–$57,300: –$620
• $57,300–$92,500: –$1,490
• $92,500–$154,500: –$2,610
• $154,500–$302,900: –$5,000
• $302,900–$817,400: –$15,210
• Top 1% ($817,400 and up): –$34,340

The Constitution unequivocally gives Congress the power to decide how our federal bureaucracy is funded. SCOTUS cannot abdicate its duty here.

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

Once again, SCOTUS punted on a crucial constitutional question, allowing the Administration to continue firing federal employees at will. Since January, dozens of federal workers in Maine have been fired without cause—and with no advanced notice. More mass layoffs could be on the way.

Federal workers in Maine face uncertainty following court ruling allowing for mass layoffs

It's unclear how federal workers in Maine might be impacted, but the ruling allowing the Trump administration to move forward with plans for staff reductions has prompted concerns.

*Republicans, obviously.

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

So the next time you hear a Republican argue that cutting Medicaid by a trillion dollars is just “sound fiscal policy,” show them the numbers. The only “waste, fraud, and abuse” I see is this monstrosity of a bill. (13/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

Between the mounting costs to consumers and the major potential loss of jobs in the health care sector, the broader economic impact will be massive. According to multiple studies, every $1 in Medicaid spending generates $2 to $3 in economic activity. Republican's just don't get it. (12/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

When uninsured people need emergency care, they’re probably going to go to the nearest ER. That means the provider has to foot the bill. But those costs eventually get passed down—mostly to privately insured patients (i.e. a majority of Americans), who are forced to pay higher premiums. (11/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

Here in Maine, we've already seen one rural hospital close this year (Northern Light Inland Hospital in Waterville). Others are barely hanging on—and bracing for the worst. The broader impacts on our health care system will be huge. (10/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

Then there’s the impact on rural hospitals + community health centers—most of which rely heavily on Medicaid reimbursements. More uninsured people means more unpaid bills, more financial strain, and a greater risk that the only clinic or hospital for miles will be forced to close its doors. (9/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

This is *exactly* what Republicans are trying to do on a national scale: Make the process so complicated and burdensome that people just give up and drop out. That’s their actual plan for weeding out “waste, fraud, and abuse.” (8/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

Today, fewer than 7,500 Georgians are enrolled in the so-called “Pathways” program, out of ~345,000 who qualify. That’s a 3% participation rate. All because of ridiculous paperwork requirements that almost no one can follow—and a whole lot of digital inequity. (7/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

Back in 2023, Georgia tried implementing the nation’s first-ever work requirement for Medicaid. You know what happened? People either found the process too onerous, couldn’t access the online portal (because they didn’t have internet), or were kicked off due to paperwork errors. (6/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

Take the “work requirement” included in the BBBA. This might sound sensible on its face, but there’s virtually no explanation for what it would look like. Do you have to provide pay stubs? W2s? A signed letter from your employer? All of the above? Nobody knows! (5/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

Those who don’t? They’re: 🟢 People in low-wage or part-time jobs 🟢 Parents caring for children with disabilities 🟢 People with disabilities or chronic conditions 🟢 Older adults who can’t rely on Medicare alone Many could have their health care taken away, thanks to a maze of red tape. (4/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

In fact, a 2023 GAO report estimated that fraud by beneficiaries accounts for <1% of all improper Medicaid payments. (Side note: the Speaker's claim that 1.4 million undocumented immigrants are on federally funded Medicaid? Totally false.) Most adults on Medicaid who can work, *do* work! (3/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

First, we need to dispel the myth that these cuts are about weeding out “waste, fraud, and abuse.” Believing that the 10 million people who stand to lose Medicaid coverage (according to the nonpartisan CBO) are somehow gaming the system and deserve what’s coming—it’s simply ludicrous. (2/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 10(source)

🧵 There are *many* parts of the Big Ugly Bill that are truly appalling. But the cuts to Medicaid, which could total more than a TRILLION dollars, might be the most devastating. Not only to millions of people who rely on it, but for our entire health care system—and our economy. (1/13)

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 9(source)

The path forward is clear: pass the Farm Workforce Modernization Act and deliver the stability farmers have been pleading for.

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 9(source)

Farmers have sounded the alarm for years: they need a stable, reliable workforce. And the reality is, immigrant labor is essential. The absurd suggestion that we can easily fill that workforce gap shows a deep misunderstanding of both farm labor needs and the seriousness of the challenge.

Brooke Rollins on farm laborers: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way. And we move the workforce toward automation and 100% American participation, which with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid we should be able to do fairly quickly."

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree@pingree.house.govJul 9(source)

The self-proclaimed “Pro-Family Party” is *checks notes* ❌ Stripping health care from millions of kids + parents ❌ Slashing SNAP ❌ Gutting climate action that protects our kids’ futures ❌ Driving up costs for families—from student loans to energy bills There’s nothing “pro-family” about this.
