On this date in 1776, the Continental Congress voted to declare independence from Great Britain. The next day; John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2nd would be celebrated as the “great anniversary festival” of our new nation and the “most memorable epocha” in American history.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social filed hundreds of amendments to the Senate version of the Big Ugly Bill. I filed one removing restrictions on the states using provider taxes to pay Medicaid costs. House Republicans ruled all proposed amendments out of order and won’t vote on a single one.

Combined Distributional Effects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and of Tariffs

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 1(source)

🚨 The bottom 80 PERCENT of households will see their take-home incomes fall as a direct result of this Big Ugly Bill and Trump’s tariffs.

States will be forced to choose between significantly raising taxes or cutting services. Millions will lose their health insurance and food benefits. All to give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 1(source)

The Senate just made the Big Ugly Bill worse. On top of imposing administrative costs on Medicaid and shifting some SNAP benefits costs to the states, the bill now cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid and makes it harder for states to pay their share of the program.

Rep. Jennifer McClellan@mcclellan.house.govJul 1(source)

On top of putting Medicaid at risk, the Big Ugly Bill risks benefits for Virginia’s 828,000 SNAP recipients, leaving the General Assembly no choice but to cut services or raise taxes. Read more from Delegate Rae Cousins and Federation of Good Banks’ ED Eddie Oliver in this @richmond.com op-ed.

Commentary: Congress seems content to let Virginians go hungry

It is precisely at this moment when we cannot afford cuts to essential programs, especially cuts that will result in even more families, more elderly residents and more children going hungry.

This morning, I joined @zerlinamaxwell.bsky.social on @zerlinamornings.bsky.social to reflect on the state of reproductive freedom three years after the fall of Roe and how the Big Ugly Budget Bill will further erode access to abortion.

This would unwind Medicaid expansion in Virginia, kicking about 580,000 Virginians off their health insurance, raising costs for everyone else, and closing rural hospitals.

Tweet from @JakeSherman. Text reads, “NEW — THUNE says that he thinks the @SenRickScott FMAP amendment is ‘really good policy’ and ‘a lot of us are gonna be supporting it.’

“I asked him about the House’s position, which is FMAP changes shouldn’t be on the table.

“‘I don’t know how Republicans couldn't be in favor of what he's trying to get done here. So we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.’

“The amendment phases out the 90% match for Medicaid expansion population under Obamacare.”

People from across the political spectrum don't like this Big Ugly Budget Bill for one simple reason: it benefits billionaires at the expense of the American people. I joined @newsnation.bsky.social to discuss the latest on the Big Ugly Bill.
