Senate Passes Trump Tax and Spending Bill

News summary

The U.S. Senate narrowly passed President Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie and sending the sweeping tax and spending legislation back to the House for a final vote. The bill extends Trump-era tax cuts, providing the largest benefits to high-income earners, and increases the child tax credit. It introduces stricter work requirements for public assistance and prioritizes Trump’s policy goals, including immigration enforcement. Critics, including Michigan Senators Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin, argue the bill makes deep cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other social programs, which will raise healthcare and utility costs for working families and the most vulnerable. Supporters claim the legislation will lower family costs and spur economic growth by reducing taxes and government spending. The bill's final outcome depends on the upcoming House vote, with both sides urging public action.
