President Trump signed his sweeping tax cut and spending package known as the "big, beautiful bill" into law during a Fourth of July celebration on Friday.

Some of the law’s key pieces will take effect later this year, while others will not be impl...

Medicaid cuts could define midterms
Medicaid is set to become a key issue in the battle over control of Congress in next year’s midterm elections now that President Trump’s "big, beautiful bill" has passed.
Congress passed the largest Medicaid cuts in the program’s 60-year history through the GOP’s megabill right before the July 4th holiday, a $1 trillion reduction that's projected to push more than 12 million low-income individuals off their health insurance over the next decade.

How Trump’s megabill will impact health care
The massive tax cut legislation passed by the House and Senate this week will dramatically upend health care in America.
The legislation, now on its way to President Trump, was never framed as a health bill, but it will mark the biggest changes to U.S. health policy since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010.
The bill's provisions will impact patients, doctors, hospitals, and insurers, as Republicans partially paid for it by cutting more than $1 trill...

Trump’s budget bill sells out America’s future — soon, Republicans will pay
Elon Musk is right: the massive cash giveaway to the richest at the expense of the poorest that Senate Republicans passed this week is “utterly insane and destructive.”
Average Americans, and soon enough many Republican politicians, will regret the budget bill President Trump and the far-right have cooked up if, as expected, the full Congress passes a final version of the bill into law before the July 4 holiday. The bill will sell out the future of hundreds of millio...
‘It’s harsh. I mean, brutal’: Trump bill to cause most harm to America’s poorest
President embraces Robin-Hood-in-reverse policies to benefit wealthiest and hurt those earning under $50,000
Last November, Donald Trump made a solemn vow to all Americans: “Every citizen, I will fight for you, your family and your future every single day.” Eight months later, Trump is vigorously backing many policies that will mean pain for millions.
