The House of Representatives passed Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” after a marathon overnight session, a vote that has sparked widespread outrage and concern. The bill, a massive legislative package, has been criticized for its significant cuts to vital social programs, particularly Medicaid and food stamps, while simultaneously extending tax cuts for the wealthiest citizens. This deeply divisive legislation has created a significant rift in the nation’s political landscape.
