The Republican-controlled House of Representatives on 3 July approved President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending overhaul, sending the multitrillion-dollar package to the Senate without a single Democratic vote. GOP leaders billed the measure as the largest tax cut in U.S. history, saying it will spur growth even as independent estimates project a substantial increase in the federal deficit.

Democratic lawmakers said the bill offsets the reductions by slashing social-safety-net programs, including roughly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts and a significant reduction in funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. They warned the legislation would shift costs onto states and low-income households while expanding the defense budget and corporate tax breaks.

During floor debate, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the legislation “a deal with the devil,” arguing it “explodes our national debt, militarizes our economy and strips away healthcare and basic dignity” to finance tax relief for billionaires such as Elon Musk. She described the vote as “one of the saddest days in modern American history” and vowed to fight the measure as it proceeds through Congress.
