In moving forward on a tax scheme that would undercut Missouri’s schools and harm our communities, Missouri legislators have made clear that their priorities lie with wealthy donors rather than hardworking Missouri families. https://ow.ly/jGe650Ys0yV

Missouri legislators are considering extreme tax schemes. Learn more: https://mobudget.org/h-commerce-testimony-hjr-173-174/

‼️ Swapping income taxes for more sales taxes isn't a wash. 80% of MO'ans would pay more in total taxes for everyday needs like car repairs, childcare, and haircuts. #moleg

Sustainable economic growth is driven by real improvements in the lives of everyday Missourians, not tax cuts for the wealthiest. Most Missourians would pay MORE in taxes under HJRs 173 & 174 #moleg

Show-Me the Details: With no plan, those wanting to eliminate the state income tax are trying to sell Missourians a lemon. #moleg Learn more: mobudget.org/mbp-presiden...

Today’s rulings confirm what’s been clear all along: the Administration has been sitting on billions of available dollars that it is legally required to use to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 Americans who need SNAP to afford their groceries.

The claim that the federal government can't pay #SNAP benefits stands in opposition to both the law & prior practice, including that of this administration. Learn more: www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

But there’s more USDA can and should do, including immediately distributing #WIC’s $150 million contingency fund & assuring states they can eventually replenish state coffers if they use state funds to keep WIC fully open once federal funds run out. www.cbpp.org/blog/the-adm...

We drive the economy: our innovation, our labor, our spending. We are the reason our communities thrive. Tell our leaders WE keep it all moving, and that’s why our wellbeing should come first. #WeDriveTheEconomy app.sosha.ai/s/FpSvJGlI

When people have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet, they’re too stressed to show up for their families and communities. But we all benefit when workers are compensated well. #WeDriveTheEconomy app.sosha.ai/s/13fIQBIW

New from CBO: BBB will increase deficit by $3.4 Trillion, cause 10 million to lose health coverage. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Please take 5 minutes to learn what's at stake for Missourians as Congress barrels towards votes on Medicaid & SNAP cuts ⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.cnn.com/2025/06/26/p...

This suggests that Republicans may add yet another deeply harmful health care cut to the Senate bill – a cut that would take health coverage away from even more people, shift massive, unaffordable costs to states, & could even lead some states to end their #Medicaid expansion.

Some in DC want to eliminate health care to pay for tax cuts for wealthy corporations. They claim cuts won't hurt working families, but the cuts are designed to do just that, by creating obstacles so steep that Missourians – including working families - lose care.

BREAKING: CBO estimates 16 million more people will be uninsured as a result of the "Big Beautiful Bill's" cuts to Medicaid and other changes to health insurance, and its failure to renew premium tax credits. That's 2.5 times Missouri's entire population. #medicaidmatters

❌ Medicaid work requirements = Repeal by red tape. ❌ "Thousands of Missourians — many of whom work or qualify for exemptions, including people with disabilities — would lose coverage." www.columbiamissourian.com/opinion/lett...

The #moleg decision to repeal paid sick leave "is a step backward for Missouri’s working families and a violation of the democratic process." www.epi.org/blog/missour...

U.S. House just approved a massive reconciliation package that would slash Medicaid and SNAP, stripping health coverage and food assistance away from Missourians. Learn more ⬇️ mobudget.org/house-budget...

❗❗Despite having just released new language for parts of the 1,000+ page bill, the House may rush to vote overnight to slash Medicaid and SNAP. Learn more about how the bill would cuts Missourians health care & access to food assistance ⬇️ mobudget.org/house-budget...

It's clear - work requirements don't work. - People who meet the requirements lose their health coverage. - This makes it HARDER to work - And increases the cost of health care for everyone #protectMedicaid www.thebulwark.com/p/the-gops-b...

❌ Medicaid work requirements in practice: After calling it a "great program" at a press conference, a 54-year-old mechanic has been kicked off his health insurance twice, and bureaucratic red tape has him at his wit’s end. www.propublica.org/article/geor...

"Supporting paid family and sick leave is a smart investment, but also a humane one....Overturning Proposition A would be a giant step backwards in Missouri that would not only hurt our people, but also our businesses and economy." www.stltoday.com/opinion/colu...

Congressional Budget Office estimates: The Medicaid bill in the House would cause 10.3 million people to lose Medicaid coverage and 7.6 million people would go uninsured. www.politico.com/live-updates...

"Cuts to SNAP would not just affect Americans enrolled in the program but would also pull the rug out from under grocers, farmers, and the broader economy." Cuts could make it hard for grocers in some areas to stay open. #handsoffSNAP www.americanprogress.org/article/snap...

1 in 3 Missouri working parents don’t get a single paid sick day. They are forced to choose between their paycheck and their family's financial stability because staying home means missing prescriptions, food, or rent. That changes today. #PropA

SNAP helps Missourians across our state meet their nutritional needs and gives an especially critical boost to our state's rural communities, accounting for over 4$ of total Gross Domestic Product in some areas. mobudget.org/snap-overvie...

This would shift $380 million in costs to MO every year, and Congress is also proposing shifting massive Medicaid costs to states. MO simply can't absorb these costs, and Missourians would see big cuts to MO HealthNet, nutrition, and other services like education. More in 🧵 below. #moleg

As Congress moves forward on its plans to cut make $880 million in Medicaid cuts, voters say #HandsOffMedicaid

With today's rushed vote, Congress steps closer to huge changes that would cause Missourians to lose health insurance, food assistance, and more. Offloading massive federal responsibilities onto MO will force state lawmakers to make deep cuts. Learn more: mobudget.org/federal-budg...

At a time of great economic uncertainty, the U.S. House is moving forward with a plan that would take health care and food assistance away from Missourians - all to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Tell Congress NO cuts to Medicaid or SNAP! mobudget.salsalabs.org/house-no-cut...

A tale of 2 competing worlds this week in #moleg: House passes $1.3 B tax cuts, Senate considers one. Meanwhile, House Budget Chair strips $$ for child care, K-12 education, and state employees because REVENUE IS NOT GROWING like it was and BUDGETING IS BECOMING TIGHTER!

@georgetownccf.bsky.social's @edwincpark.bsky.social joins @npr.org to explain how federal budget cuts will lead to millions losing Medicaid coverage. The math doesn't add up otherwise. Listen: www.npr.org/2025/03/10/1...

MO is facing a budget cliff, and Congress is considering multiple changes to Medicaid and SNAP that could cost MO hundreds of millions of dollars each year. Meanwhile, MO Senators are debating a $300 million tax giveaway. #moleg, here's who would benefit:

What services are you willing to risk in order to give tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations? #moleg

Tax changes made since 2014 will cost MO $3.2 BILLION/year when fully implemented. That's the equivalent of more than 20% of the state general revenue budget. With Congress considering passing costs to states, it's irresponsible to enact more. #moleg mobudget.org/intro-mo-sta...

As MO Senate discusses tax breaks for the wealthy, remember that most Missourians pay a higher share of their incomes in state & local taxes than those in top income brackets. But 80% of the benefit of a capital gains exemption goes to the top 5%. 2/3 goes to the top 1%! #moleg

The Missouri Senate may consider a $300M+ tax giveaway (67% of which will go to the top 1%). Meanwhile, Congress may shift major costs to states, like $75-375 million annually for food assistance alone. #moleg MO can't afford new tax cuts! www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

MO is already facing a budget cliff, and the MO Senate may vote this week on a $300 million tax giveaway that would require further cuts to critical services. The top 1% would see 2/3 of the money from the bill, while service cuts would hurt all of us. Tell your Senator MO can't afford it!
