The GOP Falls In Love With Red Tape To Force People Off Federal Programs
Government red tape and American flag as a metaphor for political and administration inefficiency. Deregulation has been a cornerstone of the Republican brand for decades. And the Trump Administration vows to cut government red tape wherever it finds it. Yet, House Republicans would use their just-passed budget bill to create reams of paperwork explicitly intended to block low- and moderate income households or immigrants from government assistance to which they are legally entitled. Just as progressives have used environmental regulation to halt development they don't like, President Trump and his allies on Capitol Hill are creating new bureaucratic hurdles to prevent families from tapping government benefits. And they are doing it just when Democrats are rethinking their historic love of paperwork. The House budget, which its sponsors call the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, would use piles of red tape to block legally entitled people from receiving health insurance through Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, cash benefits through the Earned Income Tax Credit, and food assistance through the SNAP (food stamp) program. Not only would the changes force applicants to fill out more forms, they would require more government workers to read all that paper. This directly conflicts with the efforts by Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to fire hundreds of thousands of federal workers. Hill Republicans don't have the votes to repeal these programs, but they can cut millions of people from their rolls by choking them with paperwork. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that more than 500,000 people would lose ACA marketplace health insurance because of this added red tape. Another 1.3 million would lose food stamps in any given month. 700,000, including many family caregivers, would lose Medicaid because they'd have to prove their eligibility twice a year instead of annually. Reversing a Biden-era rule to simplify the Medicaid application process would leave another 600,000 uninsured. Supporters say all this extra paperwork will prevent waste, fraud and abuse. But this mostly is a canard. In Medicaid, for example, nearly all 'waste' is due to improper payments to providers and insurance companies, according to an analysis by the research organization KFF. Separately, Georgetown University estimates the improper payment rate at about 5 percent. Beneficiary fraud, where people intentionally claim they are eligible for Medicaid or a specific benefit when they know they are not, is just a small fraction of the overall improper payment rate. While the extra paperwork may prevent some beneficiary fraud, much of the price will be paid by families who lose benefits only because they failed to file a government form on time. For example, after years of trying and failing to repeal the ACA, House Republicans found a different way to hamstring the program: use paperwork to make it harder to apply for the insurance. They'd narrow the ACA's annual enrollment period from 90 days to 45 days. And they'd require people to go through the entire enrollment process every year, in contrast to employer-sponsored insurance that automatically renews. Instead enrolling online with a few clicks, consumers would now have to manually add information. And to receive premium subsidies or reductions in cost sharing, they'd have to verify their income, immigration status, health coverage status, and place of residence with documentation. Currently, most of this information is automatically matched with existing government data. For example, the IRS can use its records to confirm an applicant is eligible to claim premium subsidies, which are structured as tax credits. Yet, the House would require applicants to produce more paperwork. A similar burden would be imposed for other tax breaks. For the first time, families would have to 'pre-certify' children are eligible for the EITC. More than 17 million families would have to file paperwork on more than 29 million children. While the paperwork may uncover some who are ineligible for the credit, the added requirement inevitably will discourage many qualified families from claiming the assistance and delay credits for others while their paperwork being reviewed by IRS staff. That's what happened when this was tried two decades ago. Then there are the work requirements, which the bill would expand for SNAP, or food stamps, and mandate for Medicaid. About 80 percent of the adults subject to work requirements do, in fact, work. But many do so irregularly and frequently change jobs, and collecting and filing the needed paperwork won't be easy. Many who technically qualify still will be kicked off the rolls simply for failing to manage the red tape. The requirement could be an even bigger challenge for those claiming an exemption because they are family caregivers. How will they prove that? John Arnold, co-CEO of the foundation Arnold Ventures, puts it this way: 'The policy of work requirements is really a policy of work reporting requirements. This is nuanced distinction but very important. Inevitably, people who are engaged in work will lose healthcare coverage because they failed to properly document or report that activity.' Curiously, just as Republicans are falling in love with regulation and red tape to achieve their policy goals, Democrats increasingly are attracted to a deregulation movement that's been labelled the Abundance agenda. Supporters argue that Democrats and progressives have choked the economy through overregulation. A favorite example is how rules in cities such as San Franscisco make it difficult to build housing, leading to shortages for low- and moderate-income people. It is a fascinating role reversal. While some Democrats are looking to lighten the bureaucratic load, Trump and his congressional allies see it as an effective way to achieve their goal of barring low- and middle-income households from accessing government assistance.

Warner Bros to split cable and streaming businesses in major restructuring
As cable television continues to experience stagnation, with the trend of cord-cutting growing stronger each year, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is adapting to the evolving media landscape by separating its streaming and cable operations. This landmark decision aims to maximize the potential of both businesses, according to WBD. The company announced Monday its plan to split into two publicly traded entities: The Streaming & Studios division, which will include Warner Bros. Television, Motion Picture Group, DC Studios, HBO, and HBO Max; and Global Networks, featuring CNN, TNT Sports in the U.S., Discovery, and Bleacher Report. Notably, Discovery+ will not be included in the Streaming segment, indicating that WBD may not prioritize it as much as HBO Max. Recently, HBO Max reverted to its original branding, emphasizing the company's commitment to premium content, in contrast to Discovery titles, which have underperformed, leading to several removals. This decision reflects a broader trend among media companies, such as Comcast's spinoff of NBCUniversal's cable channels last year.

‘Elon is sticking to his principles': Musk's father says Trump dispute triggered by stress
The clash between Donald Trump and Elon Musk intensified after Musk criticised the president's tax and spending bill, sparking a heated social media exchange. Errol Musk, Elon's father, highlighted the intense stress both sides faced over months and urged for an end to the public battle. Trump warned of 'serious consequences' should Musk support Democrats, despite Musk's prior financial backing of Trump's 2024 campaign and collaboration on downsising government operations. The dispute between Donald Trump and Elon Musk was triggered by months of intense stress on both sides, and the public battle between the US president and the billionaire donor needs to stop, Musk's father told Reuters on Monday. Trump and Musk began exchanging insults last week on social media, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing the president's sweeping tax and spending bill as a "disgusting abomination". Asked whether he thought his son had made a mistake by engaging in a public clash with the president, Errol Musk said people were sometimes unable to think as clearly as they should "in the heat of the moment." "They've had five months of intense stress," Musk told Reuters at a conference in Moscow organised by conservative Russian tycoons. "With all the opposition cleared and two people left in the arena, all they have ever done is get rid of everything and now they are trying to get rid of each other - well that has to stop." Asked how it would end, he said: Oh, it will end on a good note - very soon. Neither the White House nor Musk could be reached for comment outside normal US business hours. Trump said on Saturday his relationship with Musk was over and that there would be "serious consequences" if the world's richest man decided to fund US Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the tax and spending bill. Musk bankrolled a large part of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Trump named Musk to head an effort to downsize the federal workforce and slash spending. Musk's father told reporters he was standing by his son. "Elon is sticking to his principles but you cannot always stick to your principles in the real world," Musk's father said. "Sometimes you have to give and take." Speaking beside sanctioned Russian businessman Konstantin Malofeyev, Musk's father praised President Vladimir Putin as a "very stable and pleasant man." He accused "fake media" in the West of projecting "complete nonsense" about Russia and for casting it as an enemy.
