Senator Markwayne Mullin has recently used social media to outline key provisions of a bill he supports, focusing on work requirements for welfare recipients and changes to Medicaid spending. The tweets, posted on July 14, 2025, provide details about the legislation and its intended impact.
In one post dated July 14, 2025, Mullin stated that “This bill includes popular Clinton-era work requirements for able-bodied adults with no dependents, and includes exceptions for pregnant women and those facing short-term hardships. Eligible recipients must complete just 20 hours of work, education, or volunteering per week.”
On the same day, Mullin also wrote that “The OBBB protects Medicaid for those who need them most & helps move millions of able-bodied adults with no children from welfare to work — all while saving taxpayers billions. Only in DC is increasing current Medicaid spending by 20% over the next 10 years seen as a ‘cut.'”
Additionally, Mullin directed readers to a more detailed analysis of his position by stating on July 14, 2025: “Read my full breakdown in @realDailyWire: https://t.co/evzkKh13mp”
The OBBB referenced by Senator Mullin stands for the “Opportunity for Betterment and Balanced Budgets Act,” which is currently under consideration in Congress.
