The Trump megabill has passed, and the top line outcome of the bill is grim: it’s expected to push 17 million people out of healthcare coverage.
It’s very likely that some version of Trump’s budget bill will pass soon and that millions of people will lose healthcare as a result.

In a rare bright moment since we started Unbreaking, this week we have some actually encouraging news to share: many of the cruelest provisions in the Trump administration’s budget megabill were ruled out this week by the Senate parliamentarian.
Some grounding understanding on many of the issues we’re tracking so far, and the things we’re paying attention to in the week ahead.
Mapping the damage and its human costs—as well as the pushback and resilience work already underway—is critical groundwork for building and retaining political agency.
