The House just gave the green light to President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," sending the $3.4 trillion package to the White House just in time for July 4th! The vote was a tight 218-214, with Alabama's Republican representatives cheering the victory. But what exactly is in this bill, and how will it impact the Yellowhammer State? Republicans are calling it the "largest tax cut in American history!" The bill extends a whopping $4.5 trillion in Trump-era tax cuts, giving breaks to seniors, small businesses, and even exempting tips and overtime wages from income tax. It's not all about taxes, though. The bill also pumps $350 billion into defense modernization, including that "Golden Dome" missile defense system. Plus, over $175 billion is earmarked for border security, funding a wall and hiring 3,000 new Border Patrol agents. Our local reps are singing its praises! Rep. Barry Moore says it "puts American families first," while Rep. Dale Strong is excited about the benefits for North Alabama's space, defense, and manufacturing sectors. Expect to see $4.1 billion for those Artemis rockets and a cool $100 million for Marshall Space Flight Center improvements! And hold on, there's more! Thanks to Senators Britt and Tuberville, Alabama could snag $500 million from a national rural health fund. That's about $9.26 million per rural hospital! Not everyone's thrilled, of course. Dems like Rep. Shomari Figures are calling the bill "trash," and Rep. Terri Sewell believes it's a "betrayal" of working families. The bill is headed to President Trump for his signature. Get ready for some major changes to the tax code and social welfare programs!"One Big Beautiful Bill" Passes House: What Does It Mean for Alabama?
