Baby, the House has been cutting up over President Trump’s giant new tax-and-spending bill — and when we say “giant,” we mean $4.5 trillion big. The bill’s got tax breaks, spending cuts, and drama for days, with folks like Obama stepping back in to give Americans a warning. Meanwhile, Hakeem Jeffries said, “bet,” and gave the longest speech in House history, seemingly tryna block it. Whether you’re cheering or cringing, this bill definitely brought the drama in D.C.

The House Passes GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill”
Y’all, the House Republicans just propelled Trump’s massive tax-and-spending package in a nail-biter 218-214 vote before a July 4th deadline. This bill is no small thing either — it’s an 800-page bundle. According to AP News, the bill will create trillions of dollars in tax breaks, like allowing workers to deduct tips and overtime pay, plus a $6,000 deduction for most older adults making under $75,000 a year. Additionally, it will prompt a $350 billion investment thrown into national security and Trump’s controversial deportation playbook.
But baby, the math ain’t mathin’ for a lot of folks. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says this move will jack the deficit up by $3.3 trillion over the next decade and leave nearly 12 million more people without health insurance. And, how is the government planning to cover the tab? By reportedly slashing $1.2 trillion from Medicaid and food stamps, hitting low-income families, parents, and even seniors with stricter work rules. Green energy tax credits? Rolled way back. Now, democrats are furious and calling it reckless, but Republicans are calling it “a generational win” for conservative reforms.
Obama Pops Out With A Warning For The People
Former President Obama jumped into the mix Wednesday, urging Americans to hit up their reps and shut down Trump’s massive spending bill. With the House in a frenzy trying to push the package through, Obama called the move dangerous and urged voters to speak out now before it’s too late.
“More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act,” Obama wrote on X. “If the House passes this bill, it will increase costs and hurt working class families for generations to come. Call your representative today and tell them to vote no on this bill.”

Jeffries Had Time & Broke A Record Stalling The Bill
Whew! Hakeem Jeffries said, Not on my watch, and set a House record for the longest floor speech while trying to stall the Republicans’ mega bill. He hit the mic just before 5 AM and didn’t stop until nearly 1:30 PM — that’s over 8 hours straight, no bathroom break in sight! Jeffries used the time to drag the bill for filth, saying “it’s dangerous, and it’s cruel,” especially for the folks who’ll be hit hardest by the proposed cuts. According to MSNBC, he didn’t say if breaking the record was part of the plan, but either way, he definitely made a statement. Still, despite his marathon moment, the House went ahead and passed the bill with a close vote.
