Here's what's in and out of Trump's spending bill as Senate works to meet July 4 deadline

President Donald Trump is pressuring Congress to pass his massive spending legislation by the Fourth of July deadline. 

Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform Tuesday "To my friends in the Senate, lock yourself in a room if you must, don’t go home, and GET THE DEAL DONE THIS WEEK," Trump wrote. "Work with the House so they can pick it up, and pass it, IMMEDIATELY. NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL IT’S DONE."

The Associated Press reported that the Senate is preparing for weekend work, while House Speaker Mike Johnson told legislators Tuesday to keep their schedules "flexible" as they prepare for more votes.

Here's the latest on what's in, out and still up for debate as legislators work to complete the massive 1,000-page bill.

Trump’s bill calls for tax cuts

Why you should care:

The major priority for Republicans is preventing what they believe would be a massive tax hike, potentially $3.8 trillion, after December when the tax breaks the GOP implemented during President Donald Trump's first term in 2017 expire.

According to the Associated Press, Trump’s big bill wants to make existing tax rates and brackets permanent, while also temporarily adding new ones Trump campaigned on — no taxes on tips, overtime pay or some automotive loans, along with a bigger $6,000 deduction in the Senate draft for seniors who earn no more than $75,000 a year.

Additionally, the wealthiest households would see a $12,000 increase, while the legislation would cost low-income individuals $1,600 a year, the AP reported, citing data from the Congressional Budget Office. Meanwhile, middle-income taxpayers would see a tax break of $500 to $1,500, CBO told the AP.

One provision for families would boost the $2,000 child tax credit to $2,200 under the Senate proposal or $2,500 in the House. However, families at lower income levels won't see the full amount. The House is also proposing a $40,000 cap on state and local deductions, called SALT, that GOP senators say is too high and want limited.

Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and green energy programs would pay for spending bill

Dig deeper:

The Associated Press reported that to help partly counteract the lost tax revenue, Republicans are pushing to cut back some long-running government programs — Medicaid, food stamps and green energy incentives.

Republicans claim they are attempting to right-size the safety net programs for the population they were initially designed to serve — mainly pregnant women and children — and root out waste, fraud, and abuse.

According to the AP, the package includes new 80-hour-a-month work requirements for many Americans receiving Medicaid and food stamps, including older people up to age 65. Parents of children over 10 years old would have to work to qualify for food aid, and those with teens would have to comply with the work requirement for Medicaid.

Some 80 million Americans rely on Medicaid, which expanded under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, and 40 million use the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, and most already work, the AP noted, citing analysts.

According to the AP, the Congressional Budget Office projects that at least 10.9 million more people will go without health coverage, and 3 million more would not qualify for food stamps.

Separately, the House and Senate bills propose a significant rollback of the Biden-era green energy tax breaks for electric vehicles and the production and investment tax credits companies use to stand up wind, solar and other renewable energy projects.

Moreover, the cuts to Medicaid, food stamps and green energy programs are expected to produce at least $1.5 trillion in savings.

Spending bill also funds deportations, a border wall, and Trump’s heroes garden

Local perspective:

The massive spending bill also has some $350 billion of new funding in the package for Trump's border and national security agenda.

President Donald Trump pledged the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history, and the package proposes money to hire 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, with $10,000 signing bonuses, and for 100,000 immigration detention beds with a goal of deporting some 1 million people a year.

The legislation also proposes $12 billion for the Homeland Security secretary to provide grants to states that help with federal immigration enforcement and deportation actions. The Senate package also provides the attorney general with $3.5 billion to create a similar state fund — called Bridging Immigration-related Deficits Experienced Nationwide, or Biden, referring to the former president.

According to the Associated Press, immigrants entering the U.S. would face new fees, including $1,000 for those seeking asylum protection.

This bill also allocates money for the development of Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense system over the U.S., and quality of life measures for servicemembers.

Additionally, one provision from the Senate would provide $40 million to establish Trump's coveted "National Garden of American Heroes."
