🚨 Updated 5/23/25
We recognize that several last-minute changes were made to the “One Big Beautiful Bill” before it passed the House on May 22, 2025. Our team updated this page to reflect those changes!
The House has passed a sweeping budget bill packed with permanent tax cuts for the wealthy, work requirements for Medicaid, cuts to food assistance and public education, and a full rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs — all while increasing funding for immigration enforcement.
