Big Beautiful Bill Law
Republican lawmakers met President Trump’s July 4th deadline for passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
The final vote was delayed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ (D-NY) 8 hour and 44 minute speech, the longest House speech in history, but ultimately confirmed 218-214 (two Republicans and all Democrats voted “nay”). President Trump signed it Friday afternoon at the White House, complete with a B2 bomber flyover.
The law accomplishes much of Trump’s domestic agenda, making 2017's tax cuts permanent and funding immigration enforcement; critics dislike the projected cost—an additional $3.3T in national debt and lost Medicaid coverage for 11.8M Americans over the next decade.
On Thursday, at a rally in Iowa, Trump suggested America’s 250th birthday celebration next year will include a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House, with 25K fans in attendance.
Verse to consider when overwhelmed by politics… “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
