  7. The #IMF said the #legislation runs counter to its advice that the #US should be working to shrink its fiscal #deficits over the medium term.

    “From the IMF side, we have been consistent in saying that the US will need to reduce its fiscal deficit over time to put public #debt to #GDP on a decisive downward path,” Julie Kozack said.

    Kozack noted that there’s broad agreement that the #Republican bill would likely increase the US fiscal deficit.

    A previous version was based on when the projects enter service.

  15. #HakeemJeffries has passed the 7 hr mark. He has discussed how #unions & #CollectiveBargaining shaped his own life & reiterated #Democrats’ commitment to unions.

  37. Republicans’ One Big Ugly Bill will be an unmitigated disaster for our economy and our country. This bill will result in the closure of hospitals and clinics, kick millions of Americans off their health care and slash food assistance, all in order to give a massive tax cut to wealthy people and corporations, while borrowing even more money from our kids to do it.

  38. 🚨 As the #OneBigUglyBill moves to the Senate, a state by state look at how many people's healthcare is at risk. The CBO projects ~16M out of the ~46M below would lose coverage entirely. The remaining ~30M would face MASSIVE rate hikes and/or TONS more red tape. acasignups.net/25/05/23/sta...

    State by state: The ~46 millio...

  39. I'm also creating versions which highlight the populations which are specifically at risk of losing healthcare coverage under the #OneBigUglyBill (~20M on Medicaid expansion, ~24M in ACA exchange plans & ~1.8M in BHP plans). PDF versions of the alternate charts are available upon request.
