The Republican-led Senate is working to pass a comprehensive bill to enact Donald Trump's tax and spending priorities. The bill makes the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions permanent and increases standard deductions until 2028. It introduces new tax write-offs for tips, overtime, and loans for U.S. assembled cars, expiring at the end of 2028. Immigration enforcement receives a boost with $45bn for ICE detention facilities and border fortifications, reflecting Trump's stance on undocumented immigration and border security.
The big, beautiful bill makes permanent the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions, which generally benefited high earners more than most. Increased standard deductions are for individuals, heads of households, and married couples.
Taxpayers will be able to write off income from tips and overtime, and interest made on loans to purchase cars assembled in the United States, but these incentives expire at the end of 2028.
ICE will receive $45bn for detention facilities, $14bn for deportation operations, and billions more for hiring an additional 10,000 new agents by 2029, part of Trump's immigration strategy.
More than $50bn is allocated for the construction of border fortifications, including a wall along the border with Mexico, reflecting the Republican-led Senate's commitment to Trump's immigration policy.
