Democrats see political gift in Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’

UNITED STATES, JUL 4 – The law extends the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and includes new tax exemptions and spending cuts that may increase the deficit by $3.8 trillion over the next decade, officials said.

  • On July 4, President Donald Trump signed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' at a White House picnic with military families, enacting sweeping spending and tax changes.
  • Backed by slim majorities, Congress passed the budget bill to lock in Trump's domestic agenda, rolling back Biden-era climate and health expansions and making 2017 corporate tax cuts permanent.
  • Under the new law, Medicaid enrollees aged 19–64 must work, study or volunteer 80 hours monthly, Yale Budget Lab analysis shows it will cost the bottom 20% $560 a year and SNAP faces up to $300 billion in cuts.
  • Democrats warn steep social program cuts could backfire politically, House Progressive Caucus Chairman Greg Casar called it 'a betrayal of working Americans', and Trump urged Republicans to sell the law to voters next.
  • By Oct. 1, 2026, lawmakers must draft a new reconciliation package, and Democrats plan to weaponize the law against Republicans in fall 2026 midterms.
