How #Trump Plans to Seize the Power of the Purse From #Congress
—
Rather than relying on his party’s control of Congress to trim the #budget, Trump and his advisers intend to test an obscure legal theory holding that presidents have sweeping power to defund programs they dislike.

#ActualBudget with SimpleFin bridge integration has been working mostly fine for me... Except that
1) vanguard often doesn't sync successfully and needs re-auth
2) apple card sync never worked after syncing once......
3) the envelope budgeting just doesn't work for me. Like I front load my retirement accounts, so I don't have income for a few months, and Actual budget will just freak out because I'm over budgeting every month 😂😂😂
It's ok because I only have retirement accounts with vanguard so I'm not gonna look at it all the time and I have very few transactions on Apple Card at the moment...
'Devastating': Senators name 338 rural hospitals that could close if Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act passes, including 11 in #Ohio, 35 in #Kentucky, INCLUDING THE HOSPITAL THAT SAVED MY WIFE PENNY last August when she had her widow maker heart attack.
Penny would be dead if not for our rural hospital, there is no question about it. She barely made it there alive and then, already incubated.
According to her chart, she arrived at our nearest rural #AppalachianOhio ER at 6:53 by ambulance and was in life saving surgery by 6:57. Surgery was over by 7:07 and she was out the door and on the way to university hospital at 7:12. She barely made it there alive and underwent more surgery. #Hospital #OBBBA #Budget #HealthCare #OBBB

![Dear President Trump, Leader Thune, and Speaker Johnson,
In May, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives passed a reconciliation
package that, if enacted, will impose the largest cuts to health care in United States history,
slashing funding for Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act by more than $1 trillion and
triggering more than $500 billion in Medicare cuts. Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid and the
Affordable Care Act will cause 16 million people in the U.S. to lose health insurance coverage.
A majority of adults living in rural areas are concerned that these health care cuts will
“negatively impact hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care providers in [their]
community.”1 They are right to be worried, as these cuts will have devastating consequences for
health outcomes and costs, jobs, and the economic success of rural communities. Today, we
write to provide you with detailed information about rural hospitals that are uniquely at risk of
financial distress and even closure, conversion, or service reductions because of the cuts in the
House-passed reconciliation package. The information provided by the Cecil G. Sheps Center for
Health Services Research at the University of North Carolina (Sheps Center) illustrates what
your party’s reconciliation bill will mean for the health of Americans living in rural
communities.](/proxy/post_attachment/743075/5b71e118b9.png "Dear President Trump, Leader Thune, and Speaker Johnson,

Alaska Ignored Warning Signs of a Budget Crisis. Now It Doesn’t Have Funding to Fix Crumbling Schools.
—
Lawmakers only budgeted $40 million of the nearly $800 million that districts say is needed to fix and maintain schools to keep them safe and operating. Gov. Mike Dunleavy then vetoed more than two-thirds of that.
