Deep dives
House Republicans Pass Budget Plan
House Republicans narrowly passed a significant budget plan that aligns with President Trump's agenda focused on tax cuts and spending reductions. The approved plan includes substantial cuts to Medicaid, which could impact many Americans who rely on these services, particularly in states with higher poverty rates. Critics warn that the plan's fiscal implications could lead to greater deficits, as it prioritizes tax breaks for the wealthy over essential social programs. As the budget moves to the Senate, contention remains regarding the extent of tax breaks and how they will affect working-class citizens.
