For 30 years, Congress has fully funded #WIC to ensure all eligible families who apply can receive full benefits. The House agriculture appropriations bill would break this promise: it would underfund WIC & cut benefits for WIC participants in every state. cbpp.org/blog/house-agr…

Let’s be clear — this is only the beginning. Even more struggling families will lose access to the food assistance they need to afford groceries as the full brunt of H.R. 1's SNAP cuts take effect. Stay tuned and we'll continue to update as more data comes in.

As Senator @JamieEldridgeMA said “We often say that the budget is a moral document. I want to observe that our tax code reflects our values as well.” We couldn’t agree more! #mapoli

TY Senator @JamieEldridgeMA for your words on the floor on how SWM supp is proposing to mirror federal corporate tax cuts. These cuts, that corps are already getting at fed level, are built on the backs of the most vulnerable families. Why mirror them at the state level? #mapoli

Last July, the Republican megabill (H.R. 1) enacted the deepest SNAP cuts in history. Today, we're releasing a tracker of how many people in each state are losing the SNAP benefits they need to afford groceries. cbpp.org/research/food-…

After enacting the deepest SNAP cuts in history last year, President Trump’s 2027 budget would continue to make groceries less affordable for low-income families. It would slash the WIC fruit & vegetable benefit by $1.4 billion & eliminate a food program for low-income seniors.

A few initial thoughts on the President’s FY27 budget. Big picture: Today’s budget isn’t a serious plan to address real issues facing families and the nation and isn’t worthy of the American people.

NEW: MA House is readying to vote on a $1.8B spending bill that would infuse $ into the T, send millions to MA sheriffs, and pad the state’s World Cup effort with an additional $10 million — addressing a pain point as the state readies to play host #mapoli bostonglobe.com/2026/03/17/met…

Last week, we joined the Common Start Coalition to push for critical investments in #childcare in FY 2027. Providers, educators, advocates, and other partners came together to uplift the need to address the waitlist & make sure we’re supporting educators and providers adequately.

Just how much have Trump's tax cuts benefited huge corporations? Our Senior Fellow Matt Gardner says it's entirely possible that for 2025, S&P 500 corporations "will overall be paying something less than 10% of their income in corporate taxes." marketplace.org/story/2026/03/…
