The Senate, voted on Tuesday to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, effectively defunding abortion giant Planned Parenthood for one year.
The House version of Trump’s legislative package promised that no Medicaid dollars “shall be used to make payments to a prohibited entity for items and services furnished during a 10-year period.”
The Senate version, however, cut that provision down to prohibit only twelve months of taxpayer-funded abortion.

He emphasized that the Big Beautiful Bill will remove Medicaid coverage from 1.4 million illegal immigrants.
Eighteen Senate Republicans backed an amendment overnight Tuesday that would have let President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts expire for the highest-earning Americans… Josh Hawley was one of them. It failed.
