What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

The U.S. Census Bureau released its annual summary of household income, showing median incomes reached a record high of $87,000 last year, while the official poverty rate fell to 10.2%. Separately, the House of Representatives approved the Sunshine Protection Act, a bipartisan bill designed to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, and sent it to the Senate for review. The House also advanced the SAVE America Act, which would implement major election administration changes, incorporating it into the National Defense Authorization Act.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Despite the high median income, economists warn that reductions to Medicaid and SNAP have not been fully captured in the current figures. The Senate must review the Sunshine Protection Act, which is currently awaiting a vote, and must also address the budget reconciliation framework related to the SAVE America Act, which requires passing the Byrd Rule.

Bills originating in the House are currently being sent to the Senate for review and approval.
