Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJun 29(source)

Because they don't want the country noticing that they're about to gut over $1 TRILLION from Medicaid and food assistance in order to finance more tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.

We won this battle, but no doubt Republicans are going to keep trying to sell off your public lands any chance they get. Our public lands are worth fighting for, and as long as I have the honor of representing Oregon in the Senate that's what I'll be doing.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJun 29(source)

This is a huge win and it’s also a direct result of the grassroots effort. If you've made noise about this over the past few days and weeks, you have a lot to be proud of.

How do America's construction workers feel about this bill? "The biggest job-killing bill in the history of this country" "staggering and unfathomable job loss" "another lifeline and competitive advantage to China" "critical infrastructure projects ... sacrificed at the altar of ideology"

The new bill text goes way beyond eliminating @wyden.senate.gov's tax credits for wind and solar. It actually **TAXES CLEAN ENERGY** Needless to say, this is an awful idea. It's an immediate rate hike for consumers, and hundreds of thousands of clean energy workers are about to lose their jobs.

Re-upping this. H/T @ashleyschapitl.bsky.social, a former aide to Ron Wyden who worked on the IRA, the bill would also impose a new fee on Wind and Solar projects.

That ought to do it

A bar graph showing that Republicans are cutting over $800 billion from Medicaid, compared to the $25 billion rural Hospital relief fund they think will be enough to cover those cuts.

@mcbridetd.bsky.social

Open post ↗

So on Big Bill, H.R.1, a provision added was a $25 billion fund to help rural hospitals. Problem: Medicaid cuts are roughly $1 trillion over 10 years. Since roughly 24% of rural population is on Medicaid, that's roughly a $240 billion cut A $25B rural fund offsets only about 1/10th of the cuts.

Between today’s rulings on citizenship and age verification, the Court is taking a torch to the constitution and stripping away Americans’ core rights. This is a good time to remind everyone that I have the comprehensive court reform bill to expand the court.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJun 27(source)

Republicans are getting what they paid for: a court willing to cede its power to an executive but only if a Republican is in power. But Democrats will retake power, and John Roberts is all but guaranteeing that Trump’s Supreme Court will barely outlast the Trump administration.

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJun 27(source)

My team and I were able to get that removed yesterday. Like many other provisions, they may try and add it back in but we're going to keep working to make sure they don't.

Two more overnight wins: my team successfully removed a scheme from the Republican bill to end background checks and registrations for easily-concealed guns and silencers. There’s no limit to the awful stuff they crammed into this bill.

All of these are good wins. Republicans may try to add these awful provisions back in at the 11th hour but we're working around the clock (literally) to keep them out.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJun 27(source)

And: Republicans wanted to add a bunch of red tape and bureaucracy to the Earned Income Tax Credit. It’s a backdoor way to raise taxes on working people by making it a lot harder for them to file their taxes correctly. We knocked it out.
