The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives on 3 July passed a sweeping tax-and-spending package championed by former President Donald Trump, commonly referred to by supporters as the “Big Beautiful Bill.” GOP leaders hailed the measure as the largest tax cut in U.S. history and advanced it without a single Democratic vote.
Democrats said the legislation would hollow out social safety-net programs to pay for deep rate reductions. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the bill could strip Medicaid coverage from as many as 17 million people and impose stricter work requirements on able-bodied adults receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
Calling the vote “one of the saddest days in modern American history,” Ocasio-Cortez accused Republicans of “giving people crumbs and taking away the whole loaf.” The legislation now moves to the Senate, where its prospects remain uncertain amid expected unified Democratic opposition.
