July 3, 2025 - Congress passes Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill
What we covered here
• Trump celebrates bill’s passing: President Donald Trump praised GOP congressional leaders today after the House approved his massive package of tax and federal spending cuts, delivering the president the first big legislative win of his second term. Its passage followed a fierce arm-twisting campaign by GOP leaders to unite a deeply divided party behind Trump’s sweeping domestic agenda.
• July 4 signing: The president is expected to sign his “big, beautiful bill” tomorrow at 5 p.m. ET as he celebrates the Fourth of July at the White House.
• Jeffries’ speech: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries broke the modern-day record for longest House floor speech, using his “magic minute” to speak for hours against the bill and drawing out debate on the package.
• In the bill: The multi-trillion-dollar bill is set to unlock tax cuts and funding boosts for national security, partly paid for by the largest cut to the federal safety net in decades.
President Donald Trump celebrated the passage of his domestic agenda bill on stage in Des Moines, Iowa, as a “phenomenal victory” for the US, touting its tax cuts and funding for border security.
“There could be no better birthday present for America than the phenomenal victory we achieved just hours ago when Congress passed the ‘one big, beautiful bill’ to ‘Make America Great Again,’” Trump said at the Iowa State Fairgrounds tonight.
“Every major promise I made to the people of Iowa in 2024 became a promise kept,” he said.
Trump railed against Democrats who unanimously voted against his policy agenda, suggesting Republicans could use that against them in the 2026 midterms.
“Not one Democrat voted for us, and I think we use it in the campaign that’s coming up the midterms, because we got to beat them,” Trump said. “Of the all of the things that we’ve given and they wouldn’t vote only because they hate Trump, but I hate them too, you know?”
“I cannot stand them, because I really believe they hate our country,” he added.
