The article highlights a hot, humid day with impending storms, alongside a focus on President Trump's proposed budget bill set for a Senate vote. This legislation proposes significant cuts, aiming for the largest reduction in social welfare funding in decades. It faces scrutiny over its $3.3 trillion deficit projection, with notable dissent from Republican Senator Thom Tillis, who voiced concerns about the negative impact on Medicaid recipients. In lighter news, the author shares recommendations for frozen cocktails and music to enjoy during this weather and announces a temporary departure for vacation.
The legislation would institute "the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending."
Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina announced he wouldn't seek reelection after opposing the bill, asserting it would "hurt people who are eligible and qualified for Medicaid."
