Published 7:00 AM EDT, Sat July 12, 2025President Donald Trump signed his landmark tax and spending cuts bill into law on July 4, notching the first major legislative achievement of his second term.
Congressional Republicans approved the president’s sweeping agenda bill on an ambitious timeline over the blanket opposition of Democrats, as well as some consternation within the GOP over its impact to the federal deficit and certain government programs.
Among its myriad provisions, the package makes permanent the 2017 tax cuts that were set to expire at year’s end and beefs up funding for defense, border control and immigration enforcement. It also enacts a historic reshaping of the nation’s safety net, particularly imposing steep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps.
