The Office of Management and Budget’s Minimalist Mid-Session Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 4, the Friday before Labor Day, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) published its fiscal year 2027 mid-session review (MSR) pursuant to a legal requirement. As with other budget forecasts provided during this administration, the new MSR does not include much useful information about the “condition of the Treasury,” which is one of the reasons Congress requires presidents to submit this report each year.

The Healthcare Administrative State Rolls On (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While significant healthcare policymaking in Congress has become sporadic and uneven, the executive branch, led by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), has filled the void by driving near constant change to key programs.
