What Trump’s Sweeping Domestic Policy Law Means for American Workers

UNITED STATES, JUL 09 – The bipartisan bill raises the child tax credit to $2,200 but cuts Medicaid by $1 trillion and reduces SNAP funding, shifting more costs to states and imposing work requirements.

  • President Donald Trump signed a major tax and spending bill in Washington that takes effect for the 2025 tax year and includes a no-tax-on-tips provision.
  • The bill responds to Trump’s campaign promise after meeting a Las Vegas waitress who highlighted the tax burden on tips and gains bipartisan support despite industry opposition.
  • Under the new law, about 4 million U.S. tipped workers will be able to deduct up to $25,000 of their tipped income from federal taxable income if they earn less than $150,000 individually or $300,000 jointly.
  • Ignacio Ayala, a restaurant owner, said, "I think this is great," while hospitality worker Nichole Stoke estimated the change would add a couple hundred dollars to paychecks annually.
  • The provision will expire after 2028 unless renewed, and critics note it leaves out many workers, does not affect payroll or state taxes, and may have complex effects on wages and labor markets.
