As we begin the 2026 legislative session, I have some thoughts on the QBE and the opportunity weight pilot in the FY26 budget. https://t.co/RQLG0gOWk9

A full opportunity weight would require in-state funding for each student living under the poverty line to ensure Georgia’s education formula truly reflects the level of need

CBPP's Jennifer Sullivan posted a thread on Bluesky explaining that some Republican responses to the marketplace premium tax credit issue would steer people from silver plans with PTCs and cost-sharing reductions into high-deductible bronze plans https://t.co/aG4jqUdMNI

Reports that the White House is working on a proposal to extend premium tax credit enhancements shows the Administration is acknowledging the urgent need to address premium spikes for millions of marketplace enrollees. But big questions remain.🧵

It's imperative that the administration does not manufacture an even greater crisis by following through on threats to illegally fire federal workers or by disrupting programs. Read our full statement with updates on las night's government shutdown here: https://t.co/bVZJEmawJL

A new analysis from @GaBudget finds that H.R. 1 represents one of the most regressive federal policies in modern history, delivering massive tax breaks to the wealthiest while cutting essential programs.

Senate Ag’s proposal would require most states to pay a portion of food benefit costs for the first time, leaving them w/ two options: significantly reduce the # of ppl receiving food assistance or some states ending #SNAP entirely. More from @Katie_Bergh:

States, which must balance their budgets every year, would struggle to absorb these substantial new costs.

Attacking children and pregnant people is unconscionable.
By deleting a few imp words from the E&C bill, the reconciliation bill the Hse Rules cmte is likely to advance creates an unconscionable decision for states: end health coverage for lawfully residing immigrant kids & pregnant adults or face steep federal Medicaid $ cuts.

These moves to strip people of food and healthcare aren’t about anything other than greed.
Official CBO analysis confirms the obvious: House Republican tax and budget bill isn't shared sacrifice. It makes poor people poorer and rich people richer. It does this by cutting health care & nutrition to help finance tax cuts skewed to the wealthy.

The gender pay gap widened for the first time in 20 years in 2023. Today is the day we mark as #EqualyPayDay which means this is how far into the year full-time female workers have to keep working to make what their male counterparts. @GaBudget A 🧵...
