In July 2025, Republicans in Congress passed, and President Donald Trump signed, this administration’s signature piece of legislation: the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
In addition to directing unprecedented levels of funding toward the administration’s anti-immigrant detention and deportation agenda, the OBBBA slashed funding for programs that help people afford food, healthcare and education to pay for trillions of dollars in tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest people and corporations.
And the worst is yet to come: The OBBBA was specifically designed to delay many of its harmful measures until after the November 2026 midterm elections—leaving millions of Americans bracing for the worst.
