New Congressional Budget Office (CBO) numbers confirm what we already knew – the reconciliation bill is getting worse, not better. The Senate bill will cut health care more deeply than the House bill and leave more people uninsured. cbo.gov/publication/61…

🚨: The Senate is voting on Trump’s Big Bad Bill. Sens. Andy Kim & Cory Booker are standing strong. With 2 GOP Sens already opposing it, we need just 1 more NO vote to stop it! 📞 If you have a Rep. Senator, call them NOW and tell them to vote NO! thehill.com/homenews/senat…

Some alarming data for Dems in new Priorities USA polling: * Nearly half (48%) of Americans haven’t heard anything about the ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’ * Only 8% of all Americans name Medicaid cuts as a detail of the bill they have heard about.

There's so much junk in the tax bill that's going under the radar. One example: interest-free cap gains tax deferral for farmers. This isn't about liquidity or keeping family farms in the family - it's purely a tax break ($7.2b) for those who have already cashed out.

Cheating all the way to the finish line! Apparently rules don't count and neither do trillions in extended tax cuts for the wealthy. Oh, and people's lives, also don't count either. thehill.com/homenews/admin…

As families struggle to make ends meet, the last thing New Jerseyans need is to help subsidize film productions. “Families in New Jersey need financial help today, not celebrity cameos,” said Peter Chen 陳逸群. Read the full statement: njpp.org/media/statemen…

The proposed increase to New Jersey's Social Equity Excise Fee (SEEF) would have strengthened New Jersey’s commitment to equity and justice. "This is not just a matter of money — it is about making things right," said NJPP's Marleina Ubel, MSW. Read more: njpp.org/media/statemen…

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate. But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

“Talking about kicking 350,000 eligible residents off of New Jersey Family Care is not about addressing fraud or waste or abuse. This really undergirds our public health system in New Jersey,” said Jonathan Chebra of the Department of Human Services. ow.ly/jCbv50Wm13p

NEW: You may have read a lot about Medicaid cuts. You may not have read much about how those cuts will affect abortion -- including in states where abortion is legal, like New Jersey. njspotlightnews.org/2025/07/planne… NJ Spotlight News

New Jersey’s FY 2026 budget could and should have been a moment of courage. Instead, the budget process cut back revenue increases and dips deeper into the state’s cash reserves, while failing to protect residents from federal cuts. Read NJPP’s breakdown: njpp.org/publications/r…

“A New Plan” = removing the public’s ability to park for free near the building they pay for to talk to the lawmakers who serve them. If there’s a way to make the statehouse even more hostile to the public, no doubt NJ officials will find it.
