Check out our most recent explainers on what’s happening in Washington

Hi Friend,

Trump’s unlawful spending freeze is still hurting Americans, despite three judges ordering it to stop. His actions are causing real and direct harm to families who rely on federally-funded programs to put food on the table, access healthcare, keep the heat on in the winter, and so much more.

But that was just part one of the saga.

Now, through a process called “budget reconciliation,” Republicans are trying to cut funding off permanently, going after life-saving programs like Medicaid and gutting popular Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) programs that lower energy costs, make transportation safer and healthier, and create good-paying jobs.

It can be a lot to wrap your head around and make sense of it all, but our blog is here to help! To learn more about the funding freeze, what it means for everyday Americans, and how Congress can take action, check out the following explainers we published recently:
