Trump has signed the "big, beautiful" bill, enacting sweeping changes to programs like SNAP and Medicaid. Here's what Tennesseans should know.

With GOP lawmakers looking at a July Fourth deadline to pass President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," the leaders of five major food banks in the Bay Area are urging lawmakers to reconsider a provision of it that would impact the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

President Donald Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ delivers a temporary higher limit on the federal deduction for state and local taxes, known as SALT.

The bill includes a $600 billion reduction in federal Medicaid spanning over the next ten years. This will impact 28,974 people in Ross County who are on Medicaid, according to The Ohio Department of Medicaid. That is 37.66% of the county.
