Time For One Big Beautiful Bill Act's $4.4 Trillion Boost After Weak Jobs Data
Fairfax, Va. -- Americans for Limited Government Executive Director Robert Romano today issued the following statement in response to ADP jobs data showing 33,000 jobs were lost in June to urge the House to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act:
"In June, the U.S. economy lost 33,000 jobs based on preliminary data from ADP, well below expectations, showing the U.S. economy could really use the $4.4 trillionboost of tax cuts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. After suffering under the inflation of the Biden administration, the American people need some relief that only Congress can deliver, including with President Donald Trump's promised no income taxes on tips and overtime, tax cuts for seniors collecting Social Security, making the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent and 100 percent factory expensing to make products in America again. It also time to finish the border wall and give a much needed boost to immigration enforcement. Overall, after 77 million Americans swept President Trump and Republicans back into House and Senate majorities in 2024, it was repeatedly on the promise to act on these issues, and now it's time for Republicans to keep their promises and finish the job. The certainty afforded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is exactly what is needed to set America up for long-term growth and to overcome whatever short term weakness remains after the failed Biden economy. Don't let Americans be hit with a 68 percent tax increase at the end of the year at the worst possible time when you had the power to stop it!"

Stein Vetoes Show Commitment to Radical Political Agenda, Higher Prices for North Carolina Families
RALEIGH -- The North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP) responds to the vetoes today of common sense, responsible legislation by radical liberal Gov. Josh Stein:
Charter School Changes (SB 254)
Democrats are still engaged in a war on school choice. Protecting charter schools and giving the Charter School Review Board more oversight directly over them shouldn't be controversial.

Stein Vetoes Show Commitment to Radical Political Agenda, Higher Prices for North Carolina Families
RALEIGH -- The North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP) responds to the vetoes today of common sense, responsible legislation by radical liberal Gov. Josh Stein:
Charter School Changes (SB 254)
Democrats are still engaged in a war on school choice. Protecting charter schools and giving the Charter School Review Board more oversight directly over them shouldn't be controversial.The shameful rhetoric opposing the opportunity for every family to choose an education plan that works best for them continues with Gov. Stein.
The Power Bill Reduction Act (HB 266)
Only in the minds of the radical Left is this veto a good idea. Republicans stand on the side of the working men and women of our state and ending arbitrary, artificial requirements in energy production. As has been long been the case in North Carolina, Republicans work to reduce taxes and cost-of-living for families and Democrats seek to enact a woke agenda to make life more unaffordable for families and businesses.
Clarify Powers of State Auditor (HB 549)
Auditor Boliek is right: HB 549 was written to protect the independence of the State Auditor's Office. Gov. Stein's veto once again shows Democrats are more concerned with political power than ensuring our state's elected Council of State officials can successfully fulfill their duties. As with the other bills, we look forward to the General Assembly overriding this veto.

LANSING -- In case you missed it, Michigan Congressional Republicans have one last chance to do the right thing and stand up for the hundreds of thousands of Michiganders who rely on Medicaid and SNAP. Unfortunately, as Republicans like John James and Tom Barrett continue to march to the beat of Trump's drum, we don't expect much.
With 500,000 Michiganders'access to care and millions in food assistance on the line, it is time they worked to protect Michiganders, but instead, they're too busy lining billionaires' pockets. This bill will take away critical programs from Michigan families while giving permanent, significant tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.
It's an outrageous bill that cheats millions of Michiganders out of their health care and food assistance -- and Republicans are merrily going along with it every step of the way.
Read more about these Republicans' betrayal below:
The Gander: 7 Michigan Republicans could help Trump gut health care for 500,000 Michiganders
* With US House Republicans poised to advance President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful" budget bill into law this week, Michiganders are again urging their representatives in Congress to reject the plan--or else risk 500,000 people losing health care coverage statewide...
* The bill, which was already approved once by the Republicans in the US House, features a sprawling tax and spenwding package that delivers large tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations while slashing funds for programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
* The latest reports show that the Republicans' "one big, beautiful" budget bill would carve roughly $1 trillion out of the Medicaid program over the next 10 years. As a result, state officials say nearly 500,000 Michiganders would lose their coverage altogether--largely because of new paperwork hurdles and eligibility checks that are included in the pending federal legislation...
* Medicaid currently covers about 2.6 million Michiganders--roughly one in four residents--including three in five nursing home patients, nearly half of all births, and 300,000 people with disabilities, according to data provided by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's office.
* The proposed cuts would gut a key source of funding for nursing homes, hospitals, and providers--especially in rural areas, where more than 60% of births are covered by Medicaid...
* The tax bill would reportedly raise incomes for the top 20% of Americans by about $5,700 a year, according to a recent Yale study. Meanwhile, the poorest households in the nation--those earning under $13,350--would lose nearly 3% of their income, or about $700 a year...
* The last time it was in the US House, all seven of Republicans from Michigan voted in support of the legislation--and none have offered any indication they intend to vote differently this time around.

FRANKFORT, Ky. - Today, as Congress weighs the latest version of Trump's ugly billionaire-first budget scheme, Kentucky Democratic Party (KDP) Chair Colmon Elridge released the following statement urging members of Kentucky's Congressional Delegation to reject this bill's massive cuts to food assistance, health care and education, which would devastate Kentucky families and communities:
"This shamefulbudget guts vital resources meant to help Kentuckians create better lives for their families, including Medicaid, food assistance and education. Our representatives took an oath to protect and serve Kentuckians -- not to serve billionaires or protect their own political futures. And if they fail to live up to that oath, Democrats will make sure they cannot betray their constituents in the dark."
Kentucky stands to lose more under this budget than almost any other state. The effects of cuts to health care, food assistance and education in our Commonwealth include:
* An estimated 210,000 Kentuckians losing health care over the next decade
* 35 rural Kentucky hospitals closing and 20,000 Kentucky health care workers losing their jobs
* The end or reduction in food support for more than 575,000 Kentuckians
* Shrinking Pell Grants and the death of multiple programs dedicated to helping tens of thousands of low-income Kentucky students afford higher education
* 150,000 Kentucky households struggling to afford utility bills in dangerous heat and freezing cold

After starting the day by ranting about how he and other Washington Republicans poised to rubber stamp Medicaid cuts are " not a bunch of little bitches," Van Orden penned a meaningless, cowardly letter to Governor Evers begging the Governor to clean up his mess by increasing the state's provider tax.
This letter makes it clear that Van Ordenknows that the Big, Ugly Bill he's set to cast a critical vote for will decimate Wisconsin's rural hospitals and kick Wisconsinites off their health care.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith :
"Derrick Van Orden knows his vote for the Big, Ugly Bill will rip critically needed funding away from Wisconsin's rural hospitals and kick Wisconsinites off their health care - but he's too much of a coward to do anything about it because he cares more about giving handouts to billionaires than doing what's right for Wisconsin."

"When President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it enshrined the tools to combat discrimination, advance racial and gender equality, and secure voting rights for millions of Americans of color. The landmark law outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.It also prohibits the unequal application of voter registration requirements and bans racial segregation in schools, workplaces, and public accommodations.
"Today, the Democratic party stands alongside countless Americans, past and present, continuing to fight for our nation's liberties even as Donald Trump and Republicans work to undo decades of progress. By attacking our voting rights, undermining protections for the LGBTQ+ community, and ripping away Medicaid and other critical resources from underserved communities, Trump is destroying everything leaders of the Civil Rights era worked to create.
"Donald Trump may have built his career on discrimination and racism, but Democrats refuse to allow him to perpetuate such hate in the highest office."
