GOP Passes 'Big Beautiful Bill' Overhauling Medicaid, Taxes, Immigration Enforcement

News summary

President Donald Trump signed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' into law on July 4, marking a major legislative victory for his administration by enacting a massive federal spending and tax cut package. The bill permanently extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, and allocates over $100 billion toward border security and ICE expansion, fulfilling key campaign promises. However, it also includes the largest cuts to Medicaid in U.S. history, with millions potentially losing coverage, and dismantles various healthcare safety net programs, fueling fears of voter backlash, especially among lower-income and vulnerable populations. Republicans are actively promoting the bill’s popular provisions to secure voter support in the 2026 midterms, while Democrats are running digital ad campaigns criticizing it as the 'Big, Ugly Bill' and emphasizing its harmful impact on working families and healthcare. Polling shows a divided public, with a significant portion opposing the bill due to changes in tax, spending, and Medicaid policies, and left-wing pundits have speculated about potential election rigging as a response to expected Democratic losses. The legislation also reverses Biden-era climate policies, fast-tracks oil and gas projects, raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and is expected to reshape America’s economic and political landscape significantly.
