Trump’s “big beautiful bill” clears the House, to be signed by President Trump on Independence Day
The Big Beautiful Bill cleared the House and moved forward to the White House. President Donald Trump is set to sign it into law on Independence Day. The bill includes solidifying tax cuts from the first Trump term, reducing taxes for people 65 and older, and rolling back Joe Biden’s green energy tax credit. These are just examples of what the bill makes possible. More money will go to ICE, who will be able to ramp up its deportation operations.
From Fox News:
The bill would permanently extend the income tax brackets lowered by Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), while temporarily adding new tax deductions to eliminate duties on tipped and overtime wages up to certain caps. It also includes a new tax deduction for people aged 65 and over.
The legislation also rolls back green energy tax credits implemented under former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which Trump and his allies have attacked as “the Green New Scam.”
The bill would also surge money toward the national defense, and to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the name of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrants in the U.S.
The bill would also raise the debt limit by $5 trillion in order to avoid a potentially economically devastating credit default sometime this summer, if the U.S. runs out of cash to pay its obligations.
New and expanded work requirements would be implemented for Medicaid and federal food assistance, respectively.
Democrats have blasted the bill as a tax giveaway to the wealthy while cutting federal benefits for working-class Americans.
But Republicans have said their tax provisions are targeted toward the working and middle classes — citing measures eliminating taxes on tipped and overtime wages — while arguing they were reforming federal welfare programs to work better for those who truly need them.
Conservative groups also praised the bill, with Club For Growth CEO David McIntosh telling Fox News Digital, “By preventing the biggest tax hike in history, passing full expensing, and beginning to make key cuts to bloated programs and giveaways we are setting up our country to prosper in a new Golden Age.”
Top Republicans also praised the bill and Johnson’s role in its passage.
“We delivered historic tax relief for working families, unprecedented border security investments, unleashed American energy dominance, and massive cuts to wasteful federal spending,” Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital. “After years of failed policies, we stepped up to put Americans first and fulfilled our promises. On July 4th, 2025, we will return power to where it belongs–with the American people.” This bill makes it possible for Trump to deliver on many of his promises.

Supposed to also eliminate the $200 NFA tax on suppressors.
How bout any state sales tax?
That would be iceing on the cake.
I’m not sure that’s within the feds power. It shouldn’t be.
It is not.
As I understand it, they couldn’t actually eliminate the tax, but they did reduce it to $0.00. All other registration requirements stayed in place.
They eliminated the tax. They could not remove suppressors from the NFA so they still have to have a background check.
Which isn’t a victory. It’s cover and manufactured legitimacy for enemy action.
Nothing from stopping these tools from bumping it to an inflation-adjustable amount in the future.
Honestly I’m surprised team redblue has let this go for so long and hasn’t killed trusts, yet.
In a war of inches it’s a victory, now to take advantage and drive deeper.
If I recall from reading about it years back, the early anti gunners in ’34 had to sell it as a tax, instead of a gun control measure, in order to get it past Congress.
Yep, $200 back then was a de-facto ban for normal people, as was intended..
Tyrants gonna tyrant, no matter when..
Never forget.
Never forgive.
So glad to hear it finally passed, and I’ve seen pics of Hakeem Jeffries bawling like a spoiled toddler with a dirty diaper having a shit-fit in a grocery store aisle right there in the House Chamber!
What we’re in dire need of is 15M jobs for 15-25 year-olds.
Work is fundamental to growth of a person, and after that whole ConVaids scam, these kids/young adults need’m some validation.
Plus it’d shore up SS and increase the odds of longterm prosperity for’m.
Well, if we continue to deport all the Dems landscapers, maids, nannies and farm workers, there’ll be plenty of jobs available for able-bodied folks.
Trump is already working on an official carve out for ag workers. Not sure what it is going to look like but it will likely be paternalistic.
A lot of regulations are in place to keep kids out of many jobs. I doubt a 14 or 15 year old kid could work the gut shack next to the kill floor today. That taught me a lot back in the day! Can’t do this and that job but we will put a machine gun in your hands when 18 and tell you to assault bunkers. I was not issued a machine gun. Just a satchel full of C-4 and time fuse and blasting caps. I got my SS card at 9 years old.
Can’t buy a beer (and, now, cigarattes… plus, if Democratz won in ’24, maybe buy/use your own gun or even have to be 25 for that) but you’re old enough get drafted and your ass shot-off.
Love that graphic.
What democrats fail to tell you because they just focus on the rich but the tax breaks were for everyone. Rich, poor, middle class. Everyone!
If one looks at the total dollars a person pays in income taxes, the rich always benefit the most because they pay the most in income taxes. They also pay the most in sales taxes because they buy more expensive items. They are also being taxed in the higher brackets. So, it is simple arithmetic that they will always save the most money from across-the-board tax reductions.
Simple arithmetic and logic have no place in this argument. To the Dems, the rich benefit more, so it is therefore evil. That’s all that matters.
Math is racist, of course.
Democrats in 3… 2… 1… once again:
We’ll see who it does…or does not…benefit.

I was relaxing in the yard of A Proud Infidel ®™ Manor watching the neighbors shoot off their fireworks while enjoying some adult beverages and the reports? Yeah, plenty of noise from said fireworks, but in urban areas infested with liberal moonbats there was probably as much noise, not from fireworks, but from heads exploding right and left! I find it fun to remind moonbats that the “racist” legislation removes taxes on tips and overtime which will heavily benefit Blue Collar Folks and that Kameltoe Harris cast the deciding vote on taxing tips in the first place!
