- It's still very uncertain whether Congress will extend enhanced financial help before marketplace open enrollment begins. But Nov. 1 passing by is no excuse for Congress to abandon ePTC. Here's how marketplaces could still implement it in weeks ahead: www.americanprogress.org/article/bett...

- They're not even pretending to do economic modeling. They're just... making stuff up. It's the like the cubic model but for the federal budget.

- Today's number (+147K) shows steady job growth in an economy anxious about Trump’s tariffs and weakening consumer spending threatening to slow investment. An inopportune moment for Congress to pass a budget bill that kills jobs, guts basic needs programs, and adds $3.4 trillion in deficits. Why? 🧵
- The bill will eliminate millions of jobs through deep cuts to energy tax credits, SNAP, and Medicare. It cuts $1 TRILLION from Medicaid, which provides coverage to ~70 million low-income Americans and is critical to keeping rural hospitals afloat. www.commonwealthfund.org/publications...
- Longer run: by voting for the bill, Republicans are committing to the biggest deficits outside economic turmoil or wartime. OBBBA explodes the debt by $3.4 trillion over the next decade. Debt crowds out private investment, lowering GDP growth, productivity growth, and wages.

View full threadWe're in a weaker place for a future recession. OBBBA makes biggest cuts ever to Medicaid & SNAP, programs that are automatic stabilizers. As incomes fall, more people qualify for health coverage and food assistance, helping them and our economy recover. www.americanprogress.org/article/shif...
- Updated analysis from @budgetlab.bsky.social confirms how stunningly regressive OBBB is: Senate bill “would result in a decline of 2.9 percent (about $700) in income for the bottom quintile, but an increase of 1.9 percent (about $30,000) for the top 1 percent.” budgetlab.yale.edu/research/dis...

- The OBBB may not be beautiful but will inflict big pain. It would drive up deficits, adding $2.5T to the debt over the next decade. Homeowners and small biz will pay dearly in higher costs for borrowing as a result. NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/stat...
