The 215-214 House vote, with one abstention, was met with loud cheers by House Republicans. Some of the key provisions include:
Extension of Trump-era tax cuts and new relief, such as exempting tips and overtime from taxation.
The state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap will be increased to $40,000, with phase-outs for high earners.
Cuts to safety-net programs such as Medicaid and food stamps, alongside new work requirements starting in December 2026.
Rollbacks on clean energy tax credits, boosting fossil fuel incentives.
Major increases in military and border security spending.
New taxes targeting elite universities (e.g., Harvard and other Ivy Leagues) and immigrant remittances.
The elimination of EV tax credits, replaced by interest deductions on U.S.-built vehicle loans
It is interesting to note that Reps. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky were the only Republicans to vote against the Big, Beautiful Bill. They warned about mounting deficits that would result if the bill were passed.

Discharge began about a week later and was expected to take roughly 120 days, with the administration pledging to refill about 200 million barrels within a year at no cost to taxpayers.
Two different floors govern how far the reserve can fall. Federal law sets an operational minimum of 252.4 million barrels, while the generally accepted operational minimum is 250 to 300 million barrels on hand to pump and process oil efficiently, a level it is now testing.
