It was great meeting you!

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

Great meeting today with health care champion @petermorley.bsky.social to sound the alarm on the real and deadly consequences of the Republican Medicaid cuts. We're fighting this like hell until the very end.

2) A provision that would have done away with gender-affirming care under Medicaid. These are some good wins in an otherwise terrible bill. My staff and I will be fighting to remove the worst provisions from this bill up until the very end. I'll continue to update you as we get more rulings.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJun 26(source)

This is a wonky process but BIG news regarding the Republican budget bill: My staff successfully got multiple provisions removed from the bill. Two key wins: 1) Medicaid provider tax. Striking this means Republicans have to backtrack on hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts.

Seventh set of Byrd droppings is out, and WOW! We won on trans care in Medicaid, provider taxes, FMAP, immigrants in Medicaid, and other issues. These victories are amazing for the people they help - and cost Rs more than $250 billion of their savings by rough calculations, largely not curable.

Senator @wyden.senate.gov had this post that caught my eye. Republicans are actually claiming they will protect rural hospitals with $15 billion when they want to cut $800 billion from Medicaid! And they might not even have the votes for that! Quick thread on how Pennsylvania is impacted:

Honored to join @ronwyden.bsky.social to address the @networklobby.bsky.social Catholic Sisters, who came to Capitol Hill to speak out against Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. Their moral clarity and compassion were powerful reminders of our duty to defend our values and protect our most vulnerable.

Wyden flashes on a bit of local cult lore to make the point that a firesale of public land may also prove attractive to extremists seeking a remote compound: << I said, “How many of you remember the Rajneeshees?” >>

Trump’s FTC has spent this Pride Month targeting health care for trans Americans. I voted no on KOSA last Congress, and I am against giving the far right more tools they can weaponize to erase trans people from the internet.

Separately and notably, GLAAD — which dropped its opposition to KOSA last year after changes to the bill, easing its path to Democratic support — told me it now wants lawmakers to review the bill in light of "changes in the FTC and other government leadership." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Now a leading LGBTQ+ rights organization says it, too, harbors fresh concerns about KOSA.

After initially opposing KOSA, GLAAD changed its stance to neutral last year after lawmakers revised the bill in response to concerns from it and other rights groups. That seemed to have cleared the political path for Democratic lawmakers in particular to support it.

Asked for comment on Monday, however, a spokesperson for GLAAD said the organization has changed its view again in light of “changes in FTC and other government leadership.”

“When reviewing KOSA, lawmakers must now take recent, harmful and unprecedented actions from the FTC and other federal agencies against LGBTQ people and other historically marginalized groups into consideration,” said the spokesperson, who asked not to be named because they have received personal threats from anti-LGBTQ+ advocates.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJun 24(source)

This is great news, but I'm not breathing a sigh of relief just yet. Republicans will no doubt try to sneak a new provision in that clears this procedural hurdle. But this is a sign of what's possible with public pressure, so if you care about your public lands, keep it up.

HUGE: Senate Parliamentarian says that Mike Lee's public land sell-off violates the Byrd rule, requires 60 votes in the Senate. A bunch of other terrible anti-environment provisions do too. This isn't over, but this is a huge win. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Provisions Subject to a 60-Vote Byrd Rule Point of Order

Energy and Natural Resources

NEPA compliance. These provisions deem offshore oil and gas projects as automatically compliant with the National Environmental Policy Act, nullifying these projects' environmental review processes. (Subsection

102(b)(4) and Subsection 102(b)(5))

Offshore oil and gas leasing. This subsection

requires leases to be issued to successful bidders within 90 days after the lease sale.

(Subsection 102(b)(6))

Ambler Road. This section requires the

Secretary of the Interior to permit construction of Ambler Road, a controversial mining road in Alaska. (Section 201)

Mandatory public land sales. This section mandates the unprecedented sale of millions of acres of public land, including from both Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service lands. (Section 301)

Renewable energy fees. This subsection removes the Secretary of the Interior's discretion to reduce fees for solar and wind projects on Bureau of Land Management land. (Subsection 303(e))

Geothermal leasing and royalties. These sections require the Secretary of the Interior to hold yearly geothermal lease sales and purport to change how geothermal royalties are calculated. (Section 305 and Section 306)

Natural gas exports and imports. This section creates a pay-to-play regime for natural gas exports, allowing natural gas exporters to pay a fee to have their project be deemed "in the public interest," which is a requirement for approval. (Section 401)

The same Trump judge that gutted protections for mifepristone has now gutted privacy protections for women that receive reproductive care. This ruling effectively green lights a witch hunt by red states to target women that get care.

I invited Dr. Oz to keep his promise to join me in Eastern Oregon so the Trump administration could answer to Oregonians about its plans to gut Medicaid. He was a no show. Trump officials are hiding from the American people because there's no excuse for ripping away health care, and they know it.

Republicans are trying to sell off your public lands in their budget bill to pay for their tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.
