To Fund Tax Cuts for the Rich, GOP Budget Bill Would "Take a Sledgehammer" to Healthcare for Millions
Senate lawmakers are debating President Trump's 940-page so-called big, beautiful bill as Republicans race to meet a Trump-imposed July 4 deadline and are set to vote on key amendments. Senate Republicans have deepened the cuts to Medicaid while cutting taxes for the wealthy and increasing the national deficit. "Basically, you have Republicans taking food and medicine and other things away from vulnerable people in order to finance tax cuts for the rich," says David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect.

Dr. Adam Gaffney, a critical care physician and professor at Harvard Medical School, co-authored a report that found the bill could lead to 1.3 million Americans going without medications, 1.2 million Americans being saddled with medical debt, 380,000 women going without mammograms, and over 16,500 deaths annually. "I work in the ICU. I see patients with life-threatening complications of untreated illness because they didn't get care because they couldn't afford it. What happens when we add to that number massively?" says Gaffney.

"Death Traps": U.S.-Israeli Aid Scheme Paused in Gaza After 100 Palestinians Killed While Waiting for Food
Officials in Gaza say over 100 Palestinians have been killed during recent Israeli attacks on people waiting at aid sites. An additional 500 are wounded. Following the series of deadly attacks, the shadowy U.S.-Israeli humanitarian aid operation is shutting down for a day, and Israel's military warned Palestinians that roads leading to the aid distribution centers will be considered "combat zones." The United Nations has called for a prompt and impartial investigation into each of the attacks. The U.S.-Israeli aid system is "more about the humiliation and the control of the people" than feeding Palestinians, says Mahmoud Alsaqqa, Oxfam's food security and livelihoods coordinator in Gaza, who joins us from Gaza City.
