What’s in Trump’s big bill? Trillions in tax cuts, changes to Medicaid and more
By KEVIN FREKING and LISA MASCARO
Updated 8:21 PM EDT, May 13, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) — "#Republicans in Congress are moving with rapid speed to advance President Donald Trump’s big bill of #TaxBreaks, #SpendingCuts and beefed-up border security funding as leaders work to enact many of his campaign promises.
"House committees have been laboring for months to draft the legislation, which Republicans have labeled 'THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,' a nod to Trump himself. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to approve the package and send it to the Senate by Memorial Day.
"Democrats say they will fight what House party leader #HakeemJeffries calls 'this extreme and toxic bill.' "

A simple solution to #RachelReeves’ #SpendingCuts? Stop subsidising the #banks
A £22bn ‘black hole’ could be filled overnight if Labour stopped paying unnecessarily high interest on balances at Threadneedle Street

A new report from the Institute for Government (IfG) says it is not plausible for the victorious party on 4 July to stick to current spending plans at a time when the performance of hospitals is arguably the worst in the history of the NHS, prisons are at crisis point, and councils are shutting libraries and cutting back on waste collection and social care.

…#FarRight… Republican(s)… reacted to the #indictment by vowing to try to #cut #funding for the #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith while suggesting…opposing other #LawEnforcement #spending measures as well. With #Republicans already pressing for deep #SpendingCuts & #SocialPolicy reqs that have alienated #Democrats, they will likely have only 4 votes in their own party to spare, meaning just a handful of defections could sink the bills.

The #DebtCeiling crisis is running out of time. Janet Yellen has said that the US could run out of money & go #default by June 1 if #Congress does not raise/suspend the debt limit.
I need my friends to WRITE TO YOUR US REPRESENATIVE! Tell them to 1: write a clean bill to raise the debt ceiling (w/o #SpendingCuts), 2: initiate a #DischargePetition to force a vote (this will require both #Democrats & #Republicans).

#KevinMcCarthy is playing #politics, holding the nation's #economy hostage. #Republicans raised the debt ceiling 3 times under Trump. But now that Biden is in office, suddenly they are "fiscally responsible"?I have said this before, the #DebtCeiling is NOT a time to decide on #SpendingCuts! This is a matter of paying the country's bills we already agreed on. If the #GOP wants to propose changes when the #FederalBudget, they should do it when it comes up again in October.

So why are #Republicans ready to have our country go #default? Because they want #SpendingCuts. Speaker #KevinMcCarthy unveiled the "Limit, Save, Grow Act" which would just kick the can down the road and not very far. It would lift the debt limit by $1.5 trillion or until March 31, 2024, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.So what is in #McCarthy's plan?

CW: UK Politics: A Poison Pill for Labour
What does the autumn statement have in store? A poison pill for Labour.
Spending cuts and tax rises will deepen the recession so the pain will be deferred until 2025 and a likely Starmer government.
