Everything you need to know about #OneBigBeautifulBill

Dubbed "One big beautiful bill" by its chief proponent, President Donald Trump, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is a landmark Republican legislative package that consolidates a sweeping conservative agenda into a single, comprehensive law. Its central pillar is a $4.5 trillion tax overhaul, primarily making the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent while introducing new breaks for workers and seniors.

This is financed through over $1.2 trillion in spending cuts, which fundamentally restructure social safety net programs. The bill imposes historic reductions to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by implementing stricter work requirements and eligibility rules.

Simultaneously, the OBBB allocates $350 billion to national security and an aggressive immigration enforcement agenda, including funding for a border wall and mass deportations. It also reverses key climate policies by rolling back green energy tax credits.

The legislation passed on narrow, partisan votes amidst fierce opposition and is projected to add over $3.3 trillion to the national deficit while causing an estimated 11.8 million Americans to become uninsured by 2034.
