House passes Trump’s megabill, sending it to the president’s desk
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 9 – The $3.4 trillion bill extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts, increases immigration enforcement funding, and cuts Medicaid, with the Congressional Budget Office projecting a $3.3 trillion deficit increase.
- The House passed President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' on Thursday, finalizing a sweeping tax and budget package now headed to his desk for signature.
- The bill aims to permanently extend most of Trump's 2017 tax cuts amid rising federal deficits, while enacting major cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs.
- Provisions include eliminating the Grad PLUS loan program, increasing work requirements for Medicaid recipients, imposing a one-year Medicaid ban on Planned Parenthood, and boosting logging in Oregon by 75%.
- A nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office analysis estimates the bill will add over $3.4 trillion to the deficit, cause 17 million to lose health insurance, and slash nearly $300 billion from SNAP funding nationwide.
- The legislation's passage suggests significant cost shifts to states like Oregon, potential health coverage losses, increased food insecurity, and heightened environmental and community impacts.
