House Passes Trump’s Sweeping “Big, Beautiful Bill” Slashing $1.1 Trillion in Social Spending

Washington, D.C., USA

Washington, D.C.: In a narrow 215–214 vote, the GOP-led House approved President Trump’s flagship “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” cutting $1.1 trillion from programs like Medicaid and SNAP over ten years. Democrats slammed it as gutting the social safety net. The Senate outcome is uncertain, but if enacted, it marks one of the largest rollbacks of federal aid in decades.

What this means for you:

•	Over the next 2–4 weeks, monitor media for Senate deliberations—amendments could alter or soften cuts.
•	In 1–2 months, if you rely on Medicaid or food assistance, prepare alternative resources or check state-level expansions.
•	Over 3–6 months, follow community advocacy groups to see if legal challenges or protests might block or modify the bill.
•	If you’re financially secure, consider donating or volunteering to nonprofits that support low-income families facing lost benefits.

Key Entities

• U.S. House of Representatives: Passed the bill.
• President Donald Trump: Champions the legislation.
• Federal Programs: Medicaid, SNAP, others face major cuts.
