Markey (D-Mass.) released the following statement ahead of the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump\u2019s disastrous \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill.\u201d\n\n\u201cTrump and Republicans traded basic needs for billionaire greed,\u201d said Senator Markey. \u201cThis was really One Big Ugly Bill to make life harder for working families while making life easier for billionaire CEOs and corporate special interests. Trump cut deals while making cuts to our energy supply. He\u2019s brought in profits for himself, while looting the pockets of hard-working families. Trump has increased healthcare costs and gasoline prices, yet Americans are still having to foot the bill for Trump\u2019s corruption. This fight is far from over. I won\u2019t stop until we roll back all of the cuts to our social safety net and reverse the billionaire tax cuts.\u201d\n\nSince the Big Ugly Bill was enacted:\n\nFive million people, including almost 40,000 in Massachusetts, have dropped their Affordable Care Act (ACA) insurance coverage this year due to skyrocketing costs.\n\nIn Massachusetts, people who renewed their ACA health plans saw their annual premiums increase on average by $1,000 compared to 2025.\n\nSince OBBBA went into effect, 175,000 Bay Staters, including almost 62,000 children, have lost their SNAP nutrition assistance.\n\nSince January 2026, due to the OBBBA and other actions from the Trump administration, nearly 144,000 jobs have been lost or stalled in the clean energy sector and more than 34,000 megawatts of clean capacity were canceled or delayed, which could have powered 17 million American homes.\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-03T08:00:00Z", "2026-07-03T08:01:30Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.markey.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senator-markey-statement-on-one-year-since-trump-and-republicans-big-ugly-bill"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6832679975777864, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
