Trump's Budget Bill Passes House Amid Healthcare, Food Aid Concerns

News summary

President Donald Trump is strongly advocating for the passage of the GOP's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' a sweeping spending and tax cut measure packed with his administration’s priorities, including extending his 2017 tax cuts and increasing border security. The bill, facing tight margins in the Senate and opposition in national polls, has drawn criticism for disproportionately benefiting the wealthiest 20% of households by allocating 60% of tax cuts to them while adding trillions to the national debt. Prominent critics like John Oliver have condemned the bill as a 'lumberjack with an OnlyFans page,' warning it could lead to 'death by a thousand cuts' for vulnerable Americans by slashing critical programs like Medicaid and food stamps. Oliver highlights that Medicaid changes—such as new work requirements—could result in millions losing coverage, contradicting Trump’s assurances that the program would remain untouched. The bill also includes controversial provisions restricting states from regulating AI, raising further concerns about its long-term impact. Critics emphasize that if passed, the bill’s consequences may be remembered as damaging for decades, and those supporting it should be held accountable.
