The legislation, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, promises to significantly change how colleges operate, capping student loans and holding colleges accountable based on students' earnings.

When Trump's sprawling tax-and-spending bill passed on Thursday, it heralded more than $1 trillion in federal cuts to Medicaid, which experts worry will push Republican-led states to abandon parts of the program and leave people without access to timely healthcare.

"Our budget is pretty heavily reliant on the Medicaid reimbursement, so if we do see a cut of that, it'll be difficult to keep the doors open," said Sherman.

Don't tell me you give a shit about the middle class when all you are doing is shitting on the middle class.

The Senate version of the bill would give seniors an additional deduction of up to $6,000 per eligible taxpayer, up from $4,000 in the House version.

The legislation increases the tax rate for university endowments, introduces a new metric to hold colleges accountable for student income levels after graduation, expands the Pell Grant to short-term job training programs, and eliminates Grad PLUS loans.

GOP leaders are under pressure as they can only lose three votes on a major tax and spending bill, with Medicaid changes that could impact millions.

The Senate budget bill threatens a significant sell-off of public lands, potentially divesting 2-3 million acres, while raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

"I'm here to make sure that we stop it," Khanna said from behind a podium, to cheers. "I want Congressman Mackenzie to oppose those Medicaid cuts."

The proposed increase in the SALT deduction cap could cost $530 billion over 10 years, benefitting primarily the wealthy rather than the working-class Americans it claims to support.
