FEDERAL UPDATE (Item 1)
Federal Budget
On July 1, 2025, the U.S. Senate passed President Trump’s tax and spending reconciliation package, which encompasses most of the President’s legislative agenda. The final vote was 51–50, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote.
The House passed the bill on July 3 by a vote of 218-214.
President Trump signed the bill into law during the July 4th picnic on the White House grounds.
The legislation extends President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and significantly increases funding for immigration enforcement and national defense. To fund the increased spending, the bill imposes reductions to domestic programs, including cuts to Medicaid and food assistance of $1.2 trillion, as well as billions from federal higher education funding. According to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, the bill will increase the national deficit by $3.3 trillion over the next decade and result in 11.8 million additional people losing health covera ge.
