In Case You Missed It...

| By CBPP

This week at CBPP, we focused on state budgets and taxes and on the economy.

On state budgets and taxes, we relaunched our state tax cut tracker with a post detailing how some states are compounding the harm caused by massive cuts in last year’s Republican megabill by implementing costly tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy at the expense of everyday families.
On the economy, we updated our backgrounder on the maximum number of weeks of unemployment insurance available in each state.

The Center was active on social media this week. Here are some of our posts:

Gbenga Ajilore posted a video, and threads on X and Bluesky, providing analysis of April data on jobs and inflation.
Shelby Gonzales posted a thread to X and Bluesky on the House’s proposed reconciliation bill, which would give tens of billions of dollars to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, “super fuel[ing] their violent and cruel detention and deportation dragnet,” all while excluding necessary accountability measures.
Whitney Jemison posted a thread to X and Bluesky on California's opportunity to enact worldwide combined reporting and end corporate income tax avoidance.
Claire Heyison posted a thread to Bluesky identifying key implementation questions as Oklahoma shifts to a state-based system of managing Affordable Care Act marketplace plans.
Ty Jones Cox posted a thread to X and Bluesky calling on policymakers to use the House-passed farm bill to take much needed steps to reduce the harm of last summer’s devastating SNAP cuts.

A variety of news outlets featured CBPP’s work and experts recently. Here are some highlights:
