In a significant legislative move early in his second term, President Donald Trump signed the "One Big Beautiful Bill" into law during a celebratory Fourth of July ceremony at the White House. The bill, hailed by Trump as a fulfillment of several key campaign promises, introduces wide-reaching tax cuts, substantial boosts to military spending, and increases funding for immigration enforcement. The legislation also includes controversial reductions to Medicaid, which have sparked mixed reactions across party lines. During the signing event, Trump addressed a crowd of supporters on the South Lawn, celebrating what he called “promises made, promises kept.”

The legislation cements major pillars of Trump’s second-term agenda, following intense negotiations in a divided Congress. While Trump and his allies celebrated it as a victory, particularly highlighting the $165 billion appropriated for the Department of Homeland Security, provisions like Medicaid cuts have drawn criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. The bill marks a key moment in Trump's presidency, as it is seen as a reflection of his ongoing efforts to deliver on promises related to national security, economic reform, and immigration policy.
