The House is poised to vote on President Trump's domestic policy bill today, which has sparked significant debate within the GOP.
The bill aims to cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid and food stamps, impacting over 10 million people.
"This is what Republicans are fighting for — lining the pockets of their billionaire donors while children go hungry and families get kicked off their health care," said Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle.
The Congressional Budget Office warns the bill could increase the federal deficit by $3.8 trillion over the next decade, while also reducing resources for the poorest Americans by 2% in the short term and 4% by 2033.
Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed that key changes to the bill are still pending, highlighting ongoing divisions between GOP conservatives and moderates.
"The work requirements could put 11 million people at risk of losing their nutrition assistance," noted Ty Jones Cox from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
As the vote approaches, the implications of this legislation remain a contentious topic among lawmakers and advocacy groups alike.
