We are coming up on 15 years since enactment of the #ACA. The law has helped millions gain coverage, reduced millions of people’s costs, and improved access to care. The law also narrowed coverage gaps across racial and ethnic groups, geography, and for LGBTQ+ communities.

Another troubling action being proposed by this Admin. As my colleague @kathleenromig.bsky.social explains in this 🧵, policies like this will likely have a chilling effect, particularly in mixed-status families, and fewer people eligible for Social Security/SSI will get benefits in the first place

Another piece of evidence that the administration isn’t about helping families. This move is about making it harder for families to get the support they need from the govt when their income isn’t high enough to afford basic needs like housing, food or health care.

HHS's decision to cancel pilot projects for 5 states under the #TANF program is a major setback for low-income families. In his recent blog, my colleague Nick Gwyn explains why this is a big deal: www.cbpp.org/blog/hhs-hal...

NEW: Some key Republicans may be planning to impose SNAP food benefit costs on states, forcing them to pay up or cut food assistance to low-income families. Here's why that would worsen hunger & hurt states' ability to meet the needs of their residents: www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

The House may vote as soon as tomorrow on a federal government funding bill that contains a hidden, devastating surprise for the District of Columbia: a requirement that DC drastically slash its budget halfway through the fiscal yr, causing immediate cuts to police, schools, transportation & more.

The onslaught of harm continues. Republican budget proposals around TANF and SSBG jeopardize the wellbeing of millions of children, as this new fact sheet from @clasp.org shows: www.clasp.org/publications...

The purpose of government is not to GROW the income divide. #inequality

The latest idea for paying for tax cuts for the wealthy? Taking away income assistance from the poorest families, through the red tape of harsher work requirements. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...
