🚨 The headlines abt Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill, now law, are all about tax cuts, deficits, and Elon.

But here are 10 MASSIVE wins that have nothing to do with that, and will change life for every American β€” from the border to babies.

THREAD🧡

2/ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ $150 Billion for the Border

Trump just secured the largest immigration enforcement funding in U.S. history:

β€” $46.5B for the Wall
β€” $45B for ICE detention
β€” $14.4B for deportation ops
β€” $13.5B for state & local cooperation

ICE is now bigger than the Russian military!

3/ πŸ›« Fixing America’s Broken Air Traffic Control

β€” $12.5B for a total ATC overhaul
β€” Replacing 1970s tech (floppy disks, copper wire, rotary phones!)
β€” New radar, fiber optics, near-miss prevention tech
β€” Better training for air traffic controllers

Fewer delays, safer skies.

4/ 🍼 β€œTrump Accounts” for Every Newborn

Every baby born 2025–2028 gets:

β€” $1,000 in a pre-funded account
β€” Tax-deferred growth
β€” Use for school, a home, or a business
β€” Accessible at 18, fully available at 25

A future fund, not a welfare trap.

5/ 🚫 Defunding Planned Parenthood

No more Medicaid dollars for abortion giants.

Any provider that got over $800K in 2023? Cut off.

This is the first successful federal Planned Parenthood defund in U.S. history β€” and it’s now law.

6/ πŸ₯ Medicaid Reform & Work Requirements

β€” 80-hour work requirement for able-bodied adults
β€” Illegal aliens kicked off Medicaid
β€” $50B lifeline for rural hospitals
β€” Ending Biden-era expansion games

Earn your benefits. Protect the vulnerable. Cut the fraud.

7/ πŸ›’ Food Stamp Overhaul (SNAP)

β€” Raises age for work requirements to 64
β€” States must contribute more = less fraud
β€” Tightens eligibility
β€” Incentivizes work, not dependence

Another win for dignity and budget sanity.

8/ πŸ’£ Obamacare Gutted

β€” Shorter open enrollment
β€” No coverage for gender transition surgeries
β€” Income verification required
β€” Citizenship now mandatory
β€” Must pay premiums to re-enroll

Obamacare is still here β€” but it’s on life support.
