What will Trump's megabill do to programs like Medicare and SNAP?
A large part of funding for President Donald Trump's second-term agenda would come from cuts to safety net programs like Medicaid, the health care program for lower-income Americans and those with disabilities, and SNAP, which helps millions of lower-income Americans buy groceries every month. The bill passed by the House makes around $600 billion in cuts to Medicaid. About 10.9 million people could lose their coverage over the next 10 years, according to Wednesday's estimate by the Congressional Budget Office. The SNAP cuts total an estimated $230 billion over 10 years. Republicans say their goal is reducing 'waste, fraud, and abuse' in these programs to save hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade and to pay for Trump's tax cuts and increased funding for the border and defense. Here's a breakdown of those cuts in the current form of the bill: Medicaid cuts Work requirements: The bill imposes new 80-hours per month work requirements on able-bodied Medicaid recipients aged 19 to 64 who don't have dependents. These requirements include working or other approved activities such as volunteering. Under the bill's current text, these work requirements won't kick in until 2026. Increased eligibility checks: The bill also requires states to conduct eligibility redeterminations at least every six months for all recipients instead of the current 12 months. Undocumented migrants: The legislation seeks to prohibit states from using their funds to cover undocumented immigrants. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid, but 14 states and the District of Columbia have opted to use their own funds to cover those individuals. This bill would penalize them by reducing Medicaid funding. The White House estimates approximately 1.4 million undocumented migrants would lose coverage. Increased copays: The bill increases copays for Medicaid recipients who make more than the federal poverty level of just over $15,500 for single beneficiaries. They would be required to pay an extra $35 dollar copay in some visits. Income and residency verification: Required Medicaid paperwork for income and residency verification will increase as lawmakers look to crack down on people who are 'double-dipping' in multiple jurisdictions. The additional steps are expected to especially impact seniors and others who can't promptly respond. Prohibits funds for abortion providers and gender transition care: The legislation would ban Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood as long as the organization provides abortions and abortion services. The legislation also prohibits Medicaid funds from going to gender transition care, including puberty blockers, hormone treatments and surgery. In the initial text of the bill, this language applied only to children, but it was expanded to include adults shortly before the House vote. Obamacare enrollment: The bill ends open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act a month earlier. Most states hold open enrollment from Nov. 1 to Jan. 15. The House bill requires open enrollment to end on Dec. 15. An analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation found in 2025 that roughly 40% of enrollees, or about 10 million people, selected plans after Dec. 15. The legislation also eliminates a Biden-era policy that allows year-round ACA enrollment for the poorest Americans -- those who make up to 150% of the poverty level, or around $22,600 a year. Americans will still be able to enroll year-round if they've had a 'change in circumstances or the occurrence of a specific event.' These changes would codify a rule proposed in March by the Trump administration's Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. SNAP cuts The bill tightens eligibility requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which used to be called the 'food stamp' program, which helped roughly 42 million low-income people buy groceries per month in 2024. Work requirements: The bill raises the age for work requirements from 54 to 64. A similar bill introduced in the House in 2023 would have reduced rolls by between 3 million and 3.5 million people, according to the CBO. It would also require parents with children older than 6 to meet the work requirement. There is currently no work requirement for SNAP beneficiaries with dependent children at home. Shifting costs to states: SNAP is currently 100% federally funded. The bill requires states to share in at least 5% of SNAP benefit costs starting in 2028. Indirect effects: The changes could have an impact on school lunch programs, requiring some previously eligible families to apply for access and on federal reimbursement payments for some school districts.

Tina Knowles told Meghan Markle she realized she was 'enough' without a partner once she was in her 70s
Tina Knowles appeared on Meghan Markle's podcast "Confessions of a Female Founder." Knowles said she is happy being single for the first time in her 70s. Beyoncé and Solange's mom has been married twice. Tina Knowles is loving her single life. On Tuesday, Beyoncé and Solange's mother appeared in a bonus episode of Meghan Markle's podcast, "Confessions of a Female Founder." The podcast premiered in April and features the Duchess of Sussex, 43, interviewing female founders about their lives and careers. Knowles, 71, joined Meghan to discuss her New York Times bestselling memoir "Matriarch," published on April 22, and her various business ventures, including Beyoncé's hair care brand Cécred. As they chatted about balancing their careers and personal lives, Knowles told Meghan that she has come to love her independent life over the last year. As of 2024, Knowles is single, and she told Meghan she finally feels like she is "enough" on her own. "It took me till 71 to decide that I am truly enough by myself without a partner," Knowles said, reflecting on her marriages. Knowles was married to Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé and Solange's father, from 1980 to 2011. She remarried Richard Lawson in 2015 and filed for divorce in 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences." Their divorce was finalized in 2024. Knowles said the beginning of her relationship with Lawson "was wonderful," but that changed, leading to their separation. However, the cause of their split made her realize she had changed, as their breakup wasn't the result of something "drastic." "The old me before I came to this revelation, because there was no big, drastic thing that happened, I would have stayed, but not been totally fulfilled," Knowles said. "So I finally know that whether I have a partner or not, I am whole," Knowles added. "I just hate that I had to get to 70 before I realized that. I wish I would have done it way sooner in my life, but I didn't." "Seventy years young," Meghan replied. Read the original article on Business Insider

How Tina Knowles and Beyoncé Settle Business Disagreements
Originally appeared on E! Online Nobody wins when the family feuds. And as Tina Knowles revealed, that's precisely why she doesn't give too much push back when it comes to any debates with her daughter over their business. As the Vice Chairwoman of Bey's Cécred haircare line, Tina admitted that she has a simple solution when she and her oldest daughter don't see eye to eye. 'We have disagreements with things but it's her business,' Tina, 71, told host Meghan Markle on the Confessions of a Female Founder podcast June 3. 'I'm just helping. Overall, we get along really, really well. So, if we have a disagreement, it's her business, so she gets to win.' Tina—who also shares Solange Knowles, 38, with ex-husband Mathew Knowles—noted that she's always been the one to keep the peace in her family, and that's what she brings to the boardroom. 'There are difficulties sometimes because when you're dealing with your child or they're dealing with their mother, you have disagreements,' she shared. 'I'm the one that always caves. I've been like that since I was young. So, if my kids are mad at me, I can't take it. So, I'll cave. I'll apologize.' More from E!

'I want to be close to my kids. That's my priority.' The House of Deréon founder revealed that her and Beyoncé's working relationship includes putting their faith in each other to make the right calls. 'I trust her,' the Matriarch author said. 'She's just such a savvy businessperson and she knows so much about hair, and so we trust each other.' In fact, Tina recounted a moment when other board members questioned her desire to open a test salon that doubled as a research space. After others pushed back on the idea, she recalled Beyoncé, 43, telling the room, 'My mom knows what she's doing.' And while she is her oldest daughter's biggest cheerleader, the '16 Carriages' singer has proved to be hers. Last month, during a stop on the Cowboy Carter tour, Beyoncé and her daughters Blue Ivy, 13, and Rumi, 7, shined the spotlight on the matriarch. 'Today is a big day because my mother, who worked so hard on her book, has the No. 1 book on the New York Times bestsellers,' Beyoncé announced at the May 1 show as she stood next to Tina and her two daughters, before she urged the crowd to say, 'Congratulations, Mama T!'
