Speaker Mike Johnson Finalizes Landmark "America First" Legislation - July 3, 2025

House Speaker Mike Johnson has officially signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," a sweeping legislative package that advances President Donald Trump's domestic policy agenda. Passed by the House on July 3, 2025, with a narrow 218-214 vote, the bill includes historic tax cuts, increased funding for border security and defense, and significant reductions to social safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Despite internal Republican resistance and unified Democratic opposition, Johnson’s leadership secured its passage, meeting Trump’s July 4 deadline for a ceremonial signing. The legislation is projected to add $3.3 trillion to the national debt over a decade, sparking debates over its fiscal impact and long-term effects on American families.
