Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" has now passed the senate.
This is a step closer for it becoming law.
The Bill makes permanent Donald Trump's tax cuts from 2017 and reduces the number of people who receive Medicare. Economists believe that it will add 4.5T$ to the US debt.
The bill now needs to go to the House of Representatives where it is expected to be approved. After that President Donald Trump can sign it into law.

The US government shut down at midnight 1-October-2025. During the shut down non-essential government services are stopped, federal agencies stop activities, and a large number of federal workers are furloughed.
The reason for the shutdown is there isn't enough votes supporting the spending bill which was written by Republicans, the party in power. Democrats want some changes, they are calling for an extension of tax credits that make health insurance cheaper for millions of Americans - which are set to expire - and for a reversal of cuts to Medicaid that have been made by Trump. Democrats also oppose spending cuts to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Due to the US government shutdown which began on 1-October-2025, up to 42 million Americans might not receive food stamps. 12.5% of America's population receives food stamps called SNAP benefits.
The government shut down due to Republicans and Democrats disagreeing on budget contents. They need to agree on a budget to re-open the government.
