For anyone concerned about racism, note that the worst possible outcome of any racist logic is precisely what’s happening to the Palestinians in Gaza. Dehumanization accepted as common sense to systematically murder, plunder, burn, torture a ppl while blaming them for their death

The House bill doles out a laundry list of tax cuts, only partially offset by brutal cuts to Medicaid & IRA green incentives.

The GOP Medicaid cuts will leave 8.6 million more Americans uninsured by 2034.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

The House Budget employs a slew of policies to force Americans off Medicaid, with work requirements having the largest effect.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

The GOP is (partially) offsetting regressive tax cuts with regressive spending cuts. The result is a $10,000 gain for Americans in the top 20% and a $800 loss for those at the bottom.

Massively cutting Medicaid and SNAP isn’t the only way to find savings. We could just forgo tax cuts for Americans making over $500K instead.

What is there left to say. For nearly 600 days, Palestinians have been slaughtered on a genocidal scale, & the world has decided their daily slaughter is normal.

1.5+ years of daily screams & charred bodies & starving children, & no one will stop it. What a failure for humanity.

JCX-22-25 and JCX-23-25, we're waiting for you.

[Chuck Marr @ChuckCBPP]

It's also not what is happening. Republicans are CUTTING taxes on the wealthiest Americans, again

JCT describes the tax provisions of the Budget Reconciliation Legislative Recommendations Related to Tax.

House Rs are also expanding the most skewed provision of the 2017 law: increasing the estate tax exemption by more than $1 million to $30 million per couple – this only affects the wealthiest 0.1% of estates & a large share of this money has never been taxed

[Chuck Marr @ChuckCBPP]

The initial House Republican text increases the passthrough deduction to 22% -- a provision that skews overwhelmingly in favor of millionaires. So millionaire owners will pay a top tax rate of 28.9% while their highest paid employees pay 37%.

[Chuck Marr @ChuckCBPP]

& talking about failing to deliver, the passthrough deduction in the 2017 law was an economic bust w/a huge cost. Treasury & Fed economists found no real evidence of increased investment, jobs, or wages for employees – & yet, Rs want to increase it

[Kris Cox @krisycox]

The initial text is not encouraging: skewed to the wealthy, with costly timing gimmicks, and barely helping people and families who need it.

[Chuck Marr @ChuckCBPP]

🚨 🚨 🚨 The emerging House R tax bill appears highly skewed to the wealthy, w/ several regressive expansions of 2017 tax cuts & full of costly timing gimmicks, while, despite their rhetoric, failing to deliver for millions of working-class families

According to Doctors Without Borders, it’s been 60 days since any food, water, and medical aid has been allowed in to Gaza.

[بلستيا @byPlestia]

What Israel is doing — systematically starving an entire population in Gaza — should shock the world, but media silence has made this atrocity feel so normal??!!

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

The UN Human Rights Office released this statement yesterday. It’s gotten no media coverage.

You whitewash genocide when you refuse to report it.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

.@amanpour: Are you denying that people have died of starvation in Gaza, this is reported by international doctors and humanitarians, are you denying that seriously?

🇮🇱: These are complete lies…a lot of reporters prefer their data from Hamas

Amanpour: An American humanitarian org says, ‘Israel’s blockade—

🇮🇱: Well—

Amanpour: No listen, ‘the deliberate delays, denials…is an engineered system of deprivation’…I don’t understand what it gains you to allow women and children to starve

🇮🇱: It’s a lie

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Nearly all of the remaining staff at the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health were laid off Friday, multiple officials and laid-off employees told CBS News, gutting programs ranging from approvals of new safety equipment to firefighter health. https://t.co/8W4YbFDqA2

[Michael Linden @MichaelSLinden]

Whatever you think about tariffs, I think we can all agree that they should never be used to finance tax cuts for rich people and corporations. And that's exactly what's happening today.

Working and middle-class families will pay more. Billionaires will pay less.
