Propublica: “The Alarm Bell”: #Arizona’s Drop in #SNAP Participation Signals Potential Nationwide Impact of Trump Legislation
Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act imposes stricter food stamp work requirements and shifts a larger share of the costs to states. Arizona’s swift implementation has made it more difficult to apply and caused nearly half of recipients to lose benefits.
by Nicole Santa Cruz
April 8, 2026"More than 400,000 Arizonans have lost their SNAP benefits since July — the largest decline in the nation by a wide margin — as an underfunded state agency administered changes called for in President Donald Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
"The drop represents nearly 47% of the state’s participants in the program better known as food stamps and includes about 180,000 children, according to the Arizona Department of Economic Security, which administers the program.
"On Wednesday, the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities released data through February showing that the reduction in Arizona has far outstripped other states. After Arizona, the largest loss of participants was in Florida, where less than 16% of recipients lost benefits since July, according to the center’s analysis.
"Arizona officials attribute the plunging caseload to swift implementation of policy changes forced by the bill, including new work requirements.
"But interviews suggest that Arizona’s efforts to comply, combined with cuts to the agency that runs the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, have contributed to the decline — making it more difficult to apply and causing people who are eligible to be denied. The state’s drop has exceeded previous projections.
" 'Arizona is just the alarm bell,' said Joseph Palomino, executive director of the Arizona Center for Economic Progress, a nonpartisan advocacy organization. “This is likely going to happen in every state.' "

#Palantir Pays Zero Federal #IncomeTax Despite Explosive Growth, Largely Due to #Trump Tax Law
by Matthew Gardner, February 17, 2026
"The CEO of Palantir, the tech company known for equipping #ICE with #AITools that hack into people’s phones, recently said he runs 'the first company to be completely #AntiWoke.' This week, we learned that a key part of being anti-woke is, apparently, not paying taxes.
"In its recent earnings call summarizing fiscal year 2025, a Palantir exec crowed that the company’s explosive growth and profitability for the year was 'one of the truly iconic performances in the history of corporate performance.' But the company neglected to mention one weird trick that also fueled its 2025 growth: this is the third straight year that a profitable Palantir has avoided paying even a dime of federal income tax on its earnings.
"Palantir’s annual financial report, released this week, shows the company enjoyed $1.5 billion of U.S. income and paid exactly zero federal income tax. At the 21 percent federal income tax rate profitable companies theoretically pay, Palantir should have paid $330 million.
"While the company used a variety of tax breaks to achieve this, the most obvious is the new tax break enacted by Congress at the behest of President Trump last summer. The 'One #BigBeautifulBill' allows companies to (retroactively) immediately deduct their research expenses, rather than writing them off gradually over time in line with the income generated from that research. Palantir reduced its taxes by over $400 million using this provision.
"U.S. #taxpayers are paying multiple times for the services provided by Palantir, which the Trump administration finds so valuable. First, we pay the bill for the government contracts signed with the company, for example, the deal signed in April for Palantir to provide ICE with a system to track immigrants. Then we pay again with subsidies provided through the tax code, including the $400 million for the 'research' the company has done to create these innovations in government surveillance.
"It’s not news that helping the Trump administration with its policy goals can be enormously profitable. But it’s important to recognize that Palantir’s recent success has been helped substantially by a far more pedestrian tool: handouts from American taxpayers."

In my own district in Michigan, #MI11, there's over 43,000 Americans (including my own family) enrolled in ACA coverage. There's another 112,000 enrolled in Medicaid via ACA expansion who are at risk of losing coverage once the #BigUglyBill restrictions fully kick in. Combined, that's 20% at risk.

#PrivatePrison Companies Set to Make Billions Reopening #Jails for #ICE
“There’s a private interest behind the #detention and the incarceration of our community,” said an #activist #protesting the facilities.
by Sophie Hurwitz, March 6, 2025
Excerpt: "Late Wednesday afternoon, private prison company CoreCivic announced it would be reopening a notorious family detention center in South Texas, under an amended contract with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The facility, first built in 2014, will house up to 2,400 people, including children. It had been shut down last year to save costs, after years of reports suggesting poor treatment, including a report of one toddler who died due to a lack of medical care.
"The reopening is part of a trend. CoreCivic isn’t the only company bringing back facilities. We are at the beginning of what looks like a private prison boom, as the groups profit off President Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportation. They are set to make billions. As the Washington Post reported, the GEO Group and CoreCivic stand to benefit in particular from #Trump’s immigration plans—the companies hold at least 16 vacant facilities that can be reopened within months for mass detention and deportation.
"The GEO Group announced in late February that it would be reopening #DelaneyHall in #NewarkNJ, as a “massive” immigration detention center with 1,000 beds. In California, ICE is considering repurposing and reopening the women’s prison #FCIDublin, closed last year due to mass #SexualAbuse, for #ImmigrantDetention. In Baldwin, Michigan, ICE and the GEO Group have expressed interest in reopening #NorthLake Correctional Facility, a former private prison shuttered in 2022. (A Biden administration order directed the Department of Justice to allow contracts with private prison groups to expire.) In #LeavenworthKS, CoreCivic looks likely to partner with ICE to reopen yet another shuttered private prison, documents obtained by the #ACLU revealed.
"As of February 27, ICE held 43,759 detainees, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonpartisan data-gathering organization. Trump is putting pressure on ICE to increase the number of arrests per day. His administration has already fired one ICE director, ostensibly for not deporting enough people.
"In the communities surrounding these new jails for migrants, activists and politicians are fighting back. In Newark, where the GEO Group stands to make $1.2 billion by reopening Delaney Hall, the immigrant rights organization Make the Road is planning a rally against the jail March 11."

The #PrivatePrison Industry Looks Forward to Soaring Profits Thanks to #Trump’s Budget
The $45 billion for immigration #detention in the "Big, Beautiful Bill" represented a long-sought win for #PrivatePrisons.
by Matt Sledge, July 10 2025
"The private prison industry saw its influence wane under Joe Biden, but it remains dominant in the business of immigration detention. So when President Donald Trump signed the so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill' on July 4, dedicating $45 billion to immigration detention with a goal to double or triple the population behind bars, it was a huge payoff.
"The victory was in the works for years. A private prison company handed consulting and lobbying gigs to Trump’s allies, its political action committee was the first to max out its donation to Trump, and industry executives had already made plans to reopen shuttered prisons — laying the groundwork for what they promised investors would be an incarceration bonanza.
"In the 2024 election cycle, employees and PACs affiliated with the publicly traded industry behemoths #GEOGroup and CoreCivic contributed overwhelmingly to #Republicans and Trump.
"Republicans received 92 percent of $3.7 million in contributions affiliated with GEO Group and 96 percent of the $785,000 in contributions affiliated with #CoreCivic, according to #OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group that tracks official disclosures. When Trump won, the two companies gave $500,000 each to his #inaugural committee."

Rising Food Prices Are Likely to Continue, Thanks to #Trump’s Trade Wars
Wholesale prices on fresh and dry vegetables rose nearly 40 percent, and soon consumers will feel the pinch
By Peter Wade, August 17, 2025
"As wholesale and consumer prices have risen, so has the demand on food banks, which were already hit hard with shortages due to federal budget cuts earlier this year and actions at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. The “One Big Beautiful Bill” congressional Republicans passed last month also cut Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP) benefits by $186 billion, meaning more people may be turning to increasingly strapped food banks to make up for the loss in food assistance."

July 31, 2025
"More than two dozen protesters were captured on video last week delivering a faux coffin and flowers to the Wisconsin home of House Administration Committee Chairman #BryanSteil, R-#Wisconsin.
"The unwanted visitors, dressed in black and carrying cowbells, walked up the congressman’s private driveway in what appeared to be a mock funeral procession, before dropping a cardboard coffin prop with an epitaph at his front door.
"Former Walworth County Democrat Party Chairwoman Ellen Holly was identified in the video footage posted to social media allegedly walking up to Steil’s front door, along with several other constituents from previous protests.
"Prior to the '#DeathOfDemocracy' funeral procession, sponsored by the Southern Wisconsin Grassroots Network and Working Families Party, an organizer could be heard on a Facebook Live video saying, 'We’re not going to hang out here because we’re not going to invite the police to come and ask questions, and say, ‘What are you doing here, blah, blah, blah.’ We’re just going to get out of town.'
"Following the demonstration, protesters could be seen walking across Steil’s front yard, forgoing the sidewalk, and commenting on photo opportunities in front of the home.
"A photo of the coffin and epitaph at the front door was later posted to Facebook by another group involved. One commentator asked for the lawmaker’s home address.
"This incident has been reported to U.S. Capitol Police (#USCP). It is unclear if any of the #protesters are facing criminal charges.
" 'It’s disappointing that Democrat leadership and the radical left resort to these type of tactics,' Steil told Fox News Digital. 'I remain committed to my work to get this country back on track and will not be deterred by their threats.'
"Ravi Mangla, National Press Secretary for #WorkingFamiliesPower, told Fox News Digital the incident was less concerning than Steil’s policies."

Middletown, #Ohio, where JD Vance is from, summer camp saved after federal funding paused
"They're not data, they're real people that we are coming into contact with every day, who need our support, who need to experience the world, who need to know that they're valued"
A summer camp program serving disadvantaged children in Middletown will continue after a $60,000 donation, keeping the program running through July 25.
The Community Building Institute's (CBI) summer camp was set to end early when the U.S. Department of Education temporarily paused federal funds that support the program.
"We lost $600,000 in funding ... out of the $200,000 that we have per grant, we are allowed to hold or host summer camp activities," said Verlena Stewart, executive director of CBI

More than 20 states sue Trump administration over frozen #AfterSchoolCare, #SummerPrograms and more.
Some of the withheld money funds after-school and summer programming at Boys & Girls Clubs, the #YMCA or #PublicSchools, attended by 1.4 million children and teenagers nationwide
By BIANCA VÁZQUEZ TONESS
Updated 5:12 PM EDT, July 14, 2025Excerpt: "At the East Providence summer camp, Aiden, a rising third grader, played tag, built structures with magnetic tiles, played a fast-paced game with the other kids to review addition and subtraction, learned about pollination, watched a nature video and ate club-provided chicken nuggets.
"Veteran teachers from his school corrected him when he spoke without raising his hand and offered common-sense advice when a boy in his group said something inappropriate.
" 'When someone says something inappropriate, you don’t repeat it,' teacher Kayla Creighton told the boys between answering their questions about horseflies and honeybees.
"Indeed, it’s hard to find a more middle-of-the road organization in this country than the Boys & Girls Club.
"Just last month, a Republican and a Democrat sponsored a resolution in the U.S. House celebrating the 165-year-old organization as a 'beacon of hope and opportunity.' The Defense Department awarded the club $3 million in 1991 to support children left behind when their parents deployed for the Persian Gulf. And ever since, the Boys & Girls Club has created clubs on military installations to support the children of service members. Military families can sign up their kids for free.
[...]
"Aiden’s mother has started looking into afternoon child care for September when kids return to school in Rhode Island.
" 'It costs $220 a week,' Reyes said, her eyes expanding. 'I can’t afford that.'
"The single mother and state worker said she’ll probably ask her 14-year-old son to stay home and watch Aiden. That will mean he would have to forgo getting a job when he turns 15 in the fall and couldn’t play basketball and football.
" 'I don’t have any other option,' she said.
"At home, Aiden would likely stay inside on a screen. That would be heartbreaking since he’s thrived getting tutoring and 'learning about healthy boundaries' from the Boys & Girls Club program, Reyes said."

What is former Secretary of Transportation Pete #Buttigieg doing these days? Mainly he is writing a book, and sometimes he is appearing in the media, most recently on Philip DeFranco's podcast where he spoke about Trump's #BigUglyBill and about his family life. He did not speak about possibly campaigning for elective office although that remains a future possibility. #politics

Every Dirty Gift #Trump’s #BigBill Gives the #FossilFuel Industry
Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill” has billions for oil and gas companies: tax breaks, deductions, and pay-to-play #environmental #deregulationby Antonia Juhasz, July 10, 2025
"The new law compounds the already $17 billion in direct federal subsidies U.S. taxpayers pay to oil, gas, and coal companies every year. It cuts hundreds of billions of dollars in tax incentives for #RenewableEnergy, despite it being cheaper, healthier, more efficient, and more reliable than #FossilFuels. As a result, the law threatens nearly a million U.S. jobs and will result in higher electricity and transportation costs for people living in every state in the continental U.S.
"The power of the fossil fuel industry over Trump and the #RepublicanParty is on full display in their Big Beautiful Bill. Mike Sommers, president of the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute, the fossil fuel industry’s largest lobbying group, told CNBC, 'It includes almost all of our priorities.' "

#SusanCollins isn't concerned enough! But who will run against her? #JanetMills should have, but chose not to. What choice do #Mainers have? Mister #SpaceX Dude? Not sure if I trust any of them...
Susan Collins Gets Warning From #Maine Voters—Poll
Published Jun 26, 2025
"A University of New Hampshire (UNH) poll found that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" is unpopular among Mainers, only 30 percent of whom support its passage. Fifty-eight percent, on the other hand, say they do not want to see it become law. The bill includes several provisions that would allow Trump and Republicans to significantly overhaul tax and social policies.
"Among Maine independents—a crucial voting bloc for Collins—72 percent do not want to see it become law, while 21 percent support the bill.
"Trump is also increasingly unpopular in the Pine Tree State, according to the poll. Sixty percent of respondents disapproved of him, while 40 percent approved of his job performance. In April, he was viewed positively by 42 percent of Mainers, according to UNH."

#Trump’s #BigBeautifulBill Will Destroy America’s #Climate Progress
The president’s signature piece of legislation is torching #GreenEnergy initiatives that were helping red states. #Republicans don’t care
by Thor Benson, June 29, 2025
"The United States is not where it should be when it comes to the transition to renewable energy. Ask any climate scientist or reputable energy expert, and they’ll tell you we’re significantly behind schedule if we’re hoping to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which Joe Biden’s administration got passed in 2022, was meant to help speed up that transition and get the country on the right track. Now, it’s under attack.
President Donald Trump’s administration has been working to undo any policies that would help the world avoid a climate catastrophe, and it is now trying to use the so-called 'Big Beautiful Bill' to repeal most of the climate-focused initiatives contained in the IRA. Trump’s signature legislation is caught up in the Senate after the House passed it last month, so it’s not entirely clear what the final draft will contain, but experts agree that these #climate provisions are clearly on the chopping block."The latest version of the bill would be particularly catastrophic for #wind and #solar. Republicans not only want to significantly cut #TaxCredits for these #CleanEnergy projects, they wants impose new taxes on them for the first time. Wind and solar projects completed after 2027, for instance, will be taxed unless they can prove no #ChineseComponents were used.
" 'They’re proposing an outright massacre with punishing new taxes on these industries that happen to be the cheapest and easiest ways to get new energy on the grid,' Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wrote in a statement Saturday. 'If this becomes law, it will be a shocking act of economic self-sabotage.' "

This from Team #BernieSanders. Seems there are some folks who will be allowed into #SusanCollins' offices in #AugustaME and #PortlandME. Time of the event sent to those who pre-register. Not crazy about that, but if you're interested, here is the email... (And yeah, I'm banned from Susan Collins' offices anyways.)
"#Trump’s “#BigBeautifulBill” makes their agenda clear:
"If you are rich and powerful, you are ENTITLED to more. You deserve massive tax breaks and hand outs that will help you get richer.
"But if you are working class or poor, you are entitled to NOTHING.
"This bill has passed the House, but the fight’s not over. The Senate will vote on the bill later this month. If we organize together, we still have time to stop it.
"This Friday and Monday, people across your state are showing up at their Senators’ offices to say: Vote NO on the Trump Budget.

#Trump’s #BigBill Would Let Him Expand His #LosAngeles #ImmigrationCrackdown ‘Everywhere’
“If it works out well in L.A., expect it everywhere,” a Trump official says of the admin’s plans for #militarized #ICERaids around the country
By Andrew Perez, Asawin Suebsaeng
June 12, 2025"Donald Trump’s '#BigBeautifulBill' wouldn’t just force millions of #poor people off their #HealthInsurance and #FoodAssistance to help pay for more #TaxCuts for the rich.
"The Trump #TaxBill would steer tens of billions of dollars to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for #detention capacity, employee bonuses, and to hire new agents. It would supercharge ICE’s ability to conduct raids, and allow the administration to expand the campaign of terror it’s waging on immigrants in Los Angeles to blue cities around the country.
"ICE’s aggressive worksite raids and courthouse arrests throughout the Los Angeles area have, of course, inspired a wave of protests — giving the president an excuse to send the U.S. military to a Democratic city, something he’s long fantasized about, while inspiring demonstrations across the country.
" 'This bill would give Donald Trump the ability to do what he’s doing [in California] on a scale we really haven’t seen before,' says #DavidBier, the director of immigration studies at the #CatoInstitute, a libertarian think tank. 'He will be able to replicate this militarized approach to Los Angeles across maybe dozens of American cities.'
"For Trump and key officials, including immigration-crackdown policy architect #StephenMiller, this is exactly the point, with Los Angeles currently being used as an autocratic staging area. They want to replicate this militarized, ramped-up blitz of ICE raids, backed by the U.S. armed forces, in several other Democratic strongholds — particularly if larger-scale protests spread to other cities.
"As Rolling Stone previously reported, the president and his senior officials have already mapped out near-term plans for how to further ratchet up the already tense blitz of ICE operations, especially in the coming days in Los Angeles, where the federal agents are now being protected by Trump’s literal troop deployment to the city, against the wishes of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
"Sources familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone that senior Trump administration officials are closely monitoring the situation in L.A. as a test case for what they want to do soon in places such as #Chicago, #philadelphia #BostonMA, or the #WashingtonDC, area."
