New York Democratic leaders issued dire warnings over dramatic cuts to social safety net programs included in Congressional Republicans’ massive spending plan — which sponsors have dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill” to honor President Trump — that passed the House of Representatives early on Thursday morning.
The multi-trillion-dollar budget bill, which passed the House by just one vote, is intended to enact vast swaths of Trump’s agenda. It includes a roughly $3.8 trillion tax cut, mostly extending a previous one pushed by Trump in 2017, and boosts spending on beefing up border security.
