- One Big Beautiful Bill ActJune 24, 2026
“Republicans’ “Big Bad Betrayal Bill,” H.R. 1, cut nearly $1 trillion from healthcare and $200 billion from nutrition assistance. Under the guise of “protecting” federal programs and to distract from these cuts, Republicans prohibited lawfully present immigrants from receiving certain federal benefits, including Medicaid and SNAP.”
