Senator Marsha Blackburn addressed several key legislative issues and policy positions in a series of posts on July 11, 2025. Through her official social media account, Blackburn discussed government spending reforms, tax legislation, and Medicaid changes.
In a post published at 16:08 UTC, Blackburn stated: “President Trump has a mandate to cut wasteful spending, fraud, and abuse. This is why we need to pass the rescissions package.” The comment references ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to reduce federal expenditures through targeted cuts known as rescissions.
Later that day at 17:14 UTC, Blackburn highlighted major tax legislation: “The One Big Beautiful Bill is the largest tax cut in our nation’s history, and it made the 2017 tax cuts permanent. It was great to have Kevin Hassett, WH National Economic Council Director, on my podcast Unmuted to discuss.” She included a link for listeners to access her discussion with Hassett regarding the bill’s impact.
At 19:10 UTC, Blackburn turned attention to Medicaid reform: “We have strengthened Medicaid for millions of vulnerable Americans by stopping fraudsters, freeloaders, and illegals from accessing benefits. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill, no Tennesseans will see their Medicaid benefits cut.”
Kevin Hassett served as Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Trump. The “One Big Beautiful Bill,” referenced multiple times by Blackburn in these posts, refers to significant fiscal legislation passed during Trump’s administration that made permanent certain provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
