#USCongress is pushing through so many proposals. The #houseofrepresentatives just approved by 2 votes (214-212) HR4 which claws back $9.4b in funding for #PBS #USAID and other items.
I watched as much of the debate as I could, but it was just pure animus and cruelty. The loss of funding will affect #EmergencyManagement for rural areas that rely on these public broadcasts and alerts for fire and weather danger.

"The $45 billion earmarked for building new detention centers would represent a 364 percent annual increase to the construction budget, supercharging the detention beds available to at least 125,000. The entire federal prison system only holds a little bit more than that. Then, another $27 billion is plowed into enforcement and deportation, enough to hire 10,000 more ICE officers over the next five years." https://prospect.org/politics/trump-big-beautiful-bill-ice-raids-los-angeles-LA/

A week ago, it looked like the ill-advised, pro-crypto GENIUS Act was back on track to pass. Now Senate Majority Leader John Thune's promise to restore regular order is threatening to derail it again, this time by allowing amendments that would undermine the credit card duopoly. https://prospect.org/power/2025-06-09-crypto-thought-they-bought-congress-swipe-fees/

"From changing eligibility requirements for Pell Grants, which help low-income students pay for college, to capping how much money students can borrow to cover the cost of tuition, the legislation would put a college education further out of reach for many Americans." https://www.vox.com/policy/415793/big-beautiful-bill-student-loans-pell-grants

"Some insurers have sent members a text asking for permission to continue texting, but other health plans have refused since even an initial text could be considered a violation. Each infraction, or text, could result in a $500 to $1,500 fine. Multiplied over hundreds of thousands of members, those costs add up quick."

Tell Congress: Support the Block the Bombs Act.
from #JVPAction [USA]
[#JewishVoiceForPeace #JVP]
June 5, 2025
On June 5, Members of #Congress introduced the first ever bill that proactively seeks to prevent the U.S. from sending some of the worst weapons to the #Israeli military.
Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (Illinois) along with Representatives Sara Jacobs (California), Pramila Jayapal (Washington), and Mark Pocan (Wisconsin) led 18 other members of #USCongress in introducing the Block the Bombs Act, historic legislation that would prevent #Trump from sending some of the worst-offender weapons that #Israel has used to carry out genocide against #Palestinians in #Gaza.
Tell your member of Congress to join the Block the Bombs Act today.
