New analysis from CAP's @BBKogan: After adjusting for inflation and population growth, nonsecurity discretionary funding has been cut roughly 10% since 2023—a cut approx. two-thirds as large as the historic Medicaid cuts enacted in OBBBA. ampr.gs/47QVz2V

"Democrats see an opening. @amprog , a progressive think tank, released a proposal on healthier food and reducing harmful chemicals, along with polling that found 37 percent of Trump voters are open to backing a Democrat running on core MAHA issues."
"'If you’re looking at who are the swing voters in this electoral environment, they overlap very highly with voters who care about these issues,' said Becca Siegel, CAP’s chief insights officer."

MS NOW: "According to @CAPAction oil and gas industry donations this cycle to MAGA Inc, the president's super PAC, totaled out to nearly $30 million and that is not all. Democrats in Congress say the president's personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5 million and $81.6 million."
More where this came from below.
NEW: @CAPAction has updated its analysis showing what industries are funding MAGA Inc and it's offshoots that are responsible for a good chunk of the attack ads in competitive districts and states across the country.
We've also got an itemized table showing each donor who's given $100K or more and any benefit they may have received from Trump or his administration.

In a new @JAMA_current study, we examined both hospital closures and openings. Since 2010, there has been a net loss of over 200 hospitals and over 24,000 inpatient beds.
While the focus has been on rural closures, hospital closures are as much an urban phenomenon as a rural one
From 2010 to 2025, US acute care hospital closures exceeded openings, resulting in a net loss of hospitals and hospital beds.
Closure rates were similar in urban and rural areas, while smaller, for-profit, and safety net hospitals closed more often, indicating that threats to acute care access extend beyond rural settings.

I'm a little shocked that I'm shocked at this point but I can't emphasize as someone who worked at HHS and with CMS what a big deal this is.
This is a huge signal that something is very, very wrong and Trump appointees are inserting themselves in highly inappropriate ways.
New: Trump is sending emails to millions of Medicare enrollees today to tout $90 payments and his broader health policies.
Democrats and advocates have said the move is an inappropriate stunt.

Lawyers for President Donald Trump issued a letter demanding the Center for American Progress retract a factual report or face a $5 billion lawsuit. That report analyzes the impact of the administration’s deployments of the National Guard in cities around the country, finding that they had no measurable impact on the rate of violent crime reductions.
In response, CAP President and CEO @NeeraTanden issued the following statement: americanprogress.org/press/s…

Silencing research that is inconvenient to government policy is anathema to free speech and the First Amendment. CAP will neither cower nor bend to this attack on independent research.
