US Congress passes Trump's controversial mega-bill
President Trump secured a significant legislative victory with the passage of his expansive bill, fulfilling campaign promises. The bill's passage marks a major achievement for his second term. The bill includes substantial spending on border security, military expenditures, and significant tax cuts, totaling trillions of dollars over a decade. This required navigating internal party divisions and securing support in both the House and Senate. Critics warn the bill will dramatically increase US debt, while others focus on cuts to social programs like Medicaid. The debate over the bill's long-term impact and consequences is expected to intensify.
