Republicans showcase their 'big beautiful bill' to voters, but the law's impact has been mixed
Treasury data show 7.5 million filers claimed no tax on tipped income as Republicans highlight benefits and defend cuts to food aid and Medicaid.
- At their midterm convention in Dallas, Republicans showcased the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'—or the 'Big Ugly Bill,' as Democrats call it—which President Donald Trump signed into law to implement sweeping tax breaks, social service cuts, and increased immigration enforcement.
- The legislation extended Trump-era tax breaks while introducing stricter work requirements for SNAP and Medicaid programs, aiming to root out perceived waste and fraud set to chisel more than $1 trillion from federal aid.
- While nearly 40 million families claimed the expanded child tax credit, 4 million fewer people now receive SNAP aid, and the Congressional Budget Office estimates more than 7 million people will lose health insurance from new Medicaid work requirements.
- The package provided $175 billion for Homeland Security to support deportation efforts and $150 billion for the Pentagon, while the nation's accumulated debt reached a $40 trillion milestone with annual deficits hovering at nearly $2 trillion.
- Amid election efforts, President Trump pledged to give every U.S. adult $5,000 if Republicans win, while most states will fully launch Medicaid work requirements in 2027.
