A provision tucked inside President Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill” will make it harder for thousands of aspiring doctors to finance their education as the country faces a growing shortage in that profession.

Contained in the new federal spending law formerly known as the "Big Beautiful Bill" is funding for 17 icebreakers, 21 cutters, more than 40 helicopters and six large patrol airplanes, Coast Guard officials said. It could take as long as 15 years to get the first of the large ships commissioned, according to government estimates.

While not as generous as previous iterations, the final version of Trump’s budget bill expands access to health savings accounts.

We see this budget for what it is, an extremist road map that takes away what people rely on to survive,” U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost said at a news conference at the Pan American Behavioral Health

Experts and advocates warn that it could have dire consequences for Alabama’s tenuous rural healthcare situation.

Sen. Thom Tillis served on the Senate Republican whip team since 2017, but after finding himself at odds with his party and the president, he walked away.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" will boost S&P 500 performance short-term, but rising deficits and inflation risks will erode real returns over the next decade. Massive deficit increases—potentially $4 trillion in a decade—make bonds unattractive, as higher yields will be needed to absorb new debt issuance.

A provision to extend the life of the government’s fraud-fighting oversight body, set up to track pandemic spending, snuck into law as part of Republicans’ recently passed reconciliation bill.
