This afternoon, the US House of Representatives passed without amendment the US Senate's version of the Trump-backed budget bill, sending it to the president for his signature. Every Democratic Senator and Representative voted in opposition; in the Senate, there were three Republicans voting in opposition (making the vote 51-50) and in the House there were 2 (making the final vote 217-214). House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries set the US House's speech length record in opposition to the bill in a speech lasting over eight hours.
The bill clocks in at over 800 pages and touches on most aspects of the federal government's spending and taxation policies; see this AP article (What’s in the latest version of Trump’s big bill that passed the Senate) for the topline changes.

You know it’s bad when even the conservative sub hates it
Healthcare in america is going to collapse, and not just in red states.
The size of the ICE budget scares the living shit out of me.
Just for reminder: in 2006 GOP wanted to cut Medicaid, they couldn’t but lost big time in the midterms. In 2018, they wanted to end ACA, they couldn’t and lost big time in the midterms. This time they have forced everyday normie Americans to touch the stove. This bill is already underwater by 20 points, not even republicans like this bill. Republicans have always wanted to end social security, Medicare, Medicaid. They finally ended Medicaid
The sad thing is they designed these cuts to not hit the American people until 2027, so they won’t feel it until after the mid-terms when likely the Democrats take control of the house again. Honestly, I wish all the people that this is going to hurt would feel it way sooner so they could understand how badly the GOP has fucked them over.
This bill gives ICE more funding than the US marines, we all know where things are headed next. Every single city and restaurant is getting raided
In less than 250 years this country went from revolting against a king to SCOTUS and Congress installing a king while impoverishing the people and subjecting the people to all the tyranny we once fought against. America can always be revived, but this bodes ill to our diminishing status as a republic.
You know what pisses me off? Regularly I see people say “If you don’t like it, then get out!”
I WISH I FUCKING COULD. IT ISN’T THAT EASY TO JUST LEAVE. YOUR ENTIRE LIVES ARE ABOUT PEOPLE NOT BEING ABLE TO JUST LEAVE THEIR HOME COUNTRIES.
FUCK Trump, fuck Musk, fuck every GOP, fuck every single MAGA, fuck you for not voting, fuck you who didn’t even try to help us! Fuck you Peter Thiel, Fuck you billionaire donors, fuck you greedy fucker, fuck you Heritage Foundation!
It’s not just that this is such a disastrous bill that’s going to do untold damage to so many for a very long time, it’s the audacity of every single Republican to just blatantly lie about it even though everyone listening knows they’re lying. They just don’t give a shit. Our country was not built to handle a political party this corrupt and evil.
Well, that was the series finale of “The United States of America”.
I work at a community hospital in the Seattle area. These Medicaid cuts will close my hospital. I will lose my job. My husband lost his job in May due to Trump’s fucking tariffs.
Buckle up, folks. We’re in for a second Great Depression.
Fuck ***all*** of the people who voted for this. May they be highlighted as a stain on the United States’ history for as long as that may last.
Disgusting. They are fucking monsters. Never let them live this down.
I can’t fucking believe this is real.
Why am I paying taxes to fund services that I am now unable to use?
Man I hate this country so fuckin goddamn much lol.
The damage that’s being done will not be undone in our lifetime. Fuck everyone that voted for this
And FUCK Lisa Murkowski
It is done. By the rich, for the rich.
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
It’s a bad day to be 99.99999% of Americans.
Elected republicans will now claim they never voted for it and continue to blame all problems you’re having on immigrants and rainbows
With a majority of actual Americans opposing everything about this bill, our representatives are refusing to represent us. This is taxation without representation.
My MAGA grandmother is panicking because her daughter, my aunt, relies on Medicaid for her care. My mother, who is as tired as the rest of us, told her mother “you just killed my sister. You voted for and support this and you’re panicking now?”
Never been prouder of my mother.
Literally on the phone on hold with MediCal trying to reinstate coverage for my kids who might not even qualify anymore. So glad billionaires can get the tax cuts they need.
Can’t wait to hear in a year how this is Biden’s fault.
The bill passed 218-214. Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) were the only Republicans to join all Democrats in voting against the measure.
Republicans just added 3.3 trillion to the national debt while slashing critical benefits for millions of working class Americans. Don’t ever let them gaslight you into believing they’re “America first”
In 100 years kids in high school with have an exam question “which bill in the early 21st century caused the collapse of the American healthcare system?”
And “C. The Big Beautiful Bill” will look like the trick answer
We can’t forget this. Majority of these cuts won’t kick in until after the midterms. If the Democrats take over, they will be blamed for the consequences.
The executive branch now has a standing army outside the military chain of command. Good work Magats
As your retired dad from rural WV dies of a curable lung cancer from working in the coal mines because they lost their health insurance, I want you to remember who you voted for
Voting to close your own hospitals and cheering about it.
Like god damn.
When all these red voters lose their Medicaid, they’ll still find a way to blame Democrats. Oh well, my empathy has run out. Y’all dug your own holes, enjoy it.
Fucking pigs. They don’t worship Jesus, they worship money. Medicaid saved my life. Twice.
That’s cool. I’m on red state Medicaid and find out if I have cancer next week. It was good knowing you guys.
My local news is reporting that three local hospitals are in danger of closing entirely as a result of this, leaving much of the state two or more hours away from medical care.
The MAGA folks don’t even know that this bill actually affects them the most aversely.
This will devastate already understaffed rural hospitals, schools and SNAP. All of which have a higher proportion of MAGA voters.
You know what? It sounds harsh, but I have zero sympathy for those who voted for Trump and are now complaining.
This is what you voted for. Figure it out
Well on the plus side, the rural Republicans are about to get decimated when their hospitals are gone so thats somwthing to look forward to
What a bunch of weak willed mother fuckers.
I work in a healthcare/healthcare adjacent field with a lot of customers on Medicaid, and everyone is DEVASTATED. We knew that huge cuts were coming but people are still afraid of losing their coverage, with all the health problems that will stem from that.
So now ICE has more funding than the Marines. We are absolutely fucked.
The massive expansion of ICE is also laying even more groundwork for an American federal police/masked Gestapo service. It’s plain as day.
ICE’s budget will now be larger than the budget of many national MILITARIES.
Wooohoo ! The rich get another giant tax cut 🎉 ! Isn’t that what America is about ?!?! It’s been that way my entire life…..
40+ yrs of watching basic roads bridges etc. crumble and the commoners just keep voting to give more and more and more to the top ✌️
I want to extend a big, big, big middle finger to every one of you fucking ghouls that voted for Trump and the GOP. This is on you forever.
Fuck maga voters they will never be forgiven for this shit
LOL imagine calling yourself a “conservative” and supporting a $2.4T deficit increase – Republicans are a bunch of goofies
This was not a bill. This was a Trump loyalty test, and America lost.
The GOP knew this was terrible, and their constituents are about to find out how bad it really is. Senators and Congresspeople are going to lose their seats in 2026, and it doesn’t matter. All that mattered was loyalty to Trump.
It’s fitting that this happens before July 4th, the anniversary of a Declaration of Independence from a tyrant.
We were one year short of 250 years! Democracy almost made it.
