'Severe pushback': #HouseRepublicans fear constituent revolt over divisive new proposal
by Carl Gibson, 8/13/2025
"House Republicans are now pondering whether to pursue another major legislative push involving #Medicaid later this year, just months after narrowly passing President Donald #Trump's massive tax and spending policy. But some are hesitant out of fear for how their constituents would react.
"Politico reported Wednesday that the Republican Study Committee (RSC) – which is made up of 189 Republican members of Congress — has invited a controversial figure to its Thursday meeting that suggests the GOP may make even steeper cuts to Medicaid this year or in early 2026. According to the outlet, #ParagonHealth Institute president #BrianBlase, who is credited as the architect of Republicans' Medicaid cuts in the #OneBigBeautifulBillAct, to this week's meeting.
"Blase's address to the RSC comes as Republicans plot whether to embark on another legislative crusade before the end of the year, even though the tax and spending bill almost failed to pass despite Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress. While no official details have emerged, Politico reported that Blase's invitation likely means that future Medicaid cuts could be on the table.
"Changes to Medicare may also be included in the conversation, as Blase will be accompanied by #DemetriousKouzoukas, who leads Paragon's Medicare Reform Initiative. According to its website, Paragon is focused on changes to #Medicare and #Medicaid policy, and its leadership and board have numerous ties to #FarRight policy groups like the #HeritageFoundation (which created #Project2025) and the #FederalistSociety.
"Not all Republicans are on board with another divisive vote on additional Medicaid cuts. Rep. #MikeFlood (R-Neb.) reportedly warned that there would be
'#SeverePushback' against any attempt to impose new cuts to the popular program that provides health insurance to #LowIncome and #disabled Americans."Politico's Benjamin Guggenheim and Meredith Lee Hill also reported that there is little appetite for another bitter legislative battle given the work House Republicans are facing when they return to Washington after Labor Day. They wrote: 'A major fight over government funding looms, as well as the expiration of the #ACATaxCredits — which could lead to drastic hikes in some Americans’ #HealthInsurance premiums.' "

#GoodShepherd pushes for increase in #MainersFeedingMainers program at state house
By Sierra Whaley
Published: May 13, 2025 at 5:17 PM EDTAUGUSTA, Maine (WABI) - "Federal cuts have impacted funding for #HungerRelief programs across the state.
"That’s why state representatives gathered at the state house to push for the passage of a bill that could strengthen a 15-year-partnership between the state and Good Shepherd to keep reliable sources alive in this uncertain time.
" 'As our costs are going up and as our funding is going down as we’ve experienced funding cancellations federally, we are looking for a more cost share model with the state and asking for increased state support,' said Heather Paquette, president of Good Shepherd Food Bank.
"The Good Shepherd Food Bank is Maine’s only #FeedingAmerica food bank distributing food from Fort Kent to Kittery.
"They’re urging lawmakers to pass #LD415 sponsored by North Yarmouth Rep. Annie Graham.
"It’s a bill to increase the state’s support for the Mainers feeding Mainers program through Good Shepherd.
"Here’s how it works.
" 'We purchase fresh local produce from 93 farmers throughout the state of Maine from Fort Kent to Kittery and those farmers deliver that fresh produce directly to our pantry partners which serve them to neighbors experiencing food insecurity in the state of Maine,' said Paquette.
"According to Feeding America nearly 200-thousand Mainers are experiencing hunger.
"That includes over 50,000 children.
"Which is why the increase would provide more security for state sources, such as #farmers, to keep those community partnerships active.
"If passed the bill would increase the funding from one million to two million dollars."
