New state-by-state data shows that the Trump Administration’s 14% reduction in SSA staffing has undermined the agency’s ability to reliably serve seniors, bereaved families, and people with disabilities nationwide. https://t.co/zV6KkYox6y
CBPP’s Nick Gwyn testified before the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship on a proposal that would impact people who count on SNAP, housing assistance, and TANF cash assistance. https://t.co/J11S408lzN
Sadly, the millions of people who are losing coverage due to Administration policies are real. @MattAFiedler debunks the "phantom enrollee" argument repeated yesterday by @DrOzCMS.
The Trump Administration's last minute changes to the final rule implementing the new Medicaid work requirement that will likely increase coverage losses, complicate state implementation efforts, and worsen the effects of the policy. https://t.co/ZY4k1Wmki1
In their release of the Medicaid work requirements rule, CMS touts an ASPE report as evidence that work requirements increase employment. In fact, the report assumes “illustrative” impacts that are “not necessarily what is or will occur in the real world”. https://t.co/4s1usdYkpH
The Medicaid work requirement enacted by last year’s Republican reconciliation law was already bad enough – taking away coverage from millions who don’t show either that they’re working enough or are exempt. But the Trump administration’s final rule makes a bad policy worse.
I have a new report outlining the harm to the Black community from this administration’s actions and from the implementation of HR 1. While focused on the many harms, this report also features the timeline of implementation (1/8).
We just moved a step closer to a Medicaid work requirement, a major cut made by last year’s Republican reconciliation law that will take away health coverage from millions of people. The Trump administration issued a rule that makes bad policy even worse. https://t.co/V8qclClQMr
The standard of living for Black households and small businesses faltered in 2025 and through the start of 2026 due to a variety of Trump Administration policies: https://t.co/SOF0IOWlUZ
HUD released new data (after months of delays) showing #homelessness dropped in the year before Pres. Trump took office but was still near historic highs. Trump Admin policies are poised to make homelessness worse.
H.R. 1 and Trump Administration policies are expected to deepen economic harms for Black households and Black-owned small businesses. Tax cuts for wealthy households are being financed through cuts to programs that help Black families and communities. https://t.co/HoP5tExlSy
It's true: When families with kids lose SNAP, they're not just losing the help they need to afford groceries. School-aged kids may lose automatic enrollment for free school meals next school year. Families with babies, toddlers & preschoolers lose streamlined eligibility for WIC.
Zoë Neuberger and Luis Nuñez updated a paper showing a trend of greater coordination between WIC state agencies and their state Medicaid and SNAP programs, allowing more eligible low-income families with young children to participate in WIC: https://t.co/4ftZXTWQhW
On food assistance, Luis Nuñez highlighted a sharp drop in the number of children receiving SNAP food assistance as states implement last summer’s Republican megabill: https://t.co/VyVzHqoTwy
