The law also included investments in rural health care, border security technology for Customs and Border Protection, and other resources for America’s national security.

• "So I'm confused with H. Res 1156 because the first clause says, "Whereas on July 4, 2025, the President signed Public Law 119-21, commonly known as the Working Families Tax Cuts." Commonly known to who? Let's be clear with the American people, Republicans have made up that name. Why? Because the bill, the actual name of the bill in Public Law 119-21 is the One Big Beautiful Bill. It is deeply unpopular with the American people, who know it's been a disaster… Costs have gone up because of decisions that Donald Trump and Republicans have made to hurt the American people. The Trump tariffs have cost everyday Americans thousands of dollars in additional expense per year. That's an affirmative decision to hurt the American people. Mr. Speaker, Republicans have refused to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits. And as a result of that very decision, more than 20 million Americans are experiencing dramatically increased health insurance premiums, in some cases, costs having increased by over $1,000 per month. That's an affirmative decision that Republicans have made to increase costs. And now, there's a reckless war of choice that has been raging in the Middle East. More than a dozen brave American heroes have already lost their lives. Hundreds have been seriously injured. Billions of taxpayer dollars are being spent per day to drop bombs in the Middle East, and yet, Republicans are unwilling to spend a dime to make life more affordable for the American people."

• "Republicans called this hearing to celebrate their sole accomplishment, but small businesses are not celebrating today. They are surviving — barely. The One Big Beautiful Bill adds over $4 trillion to the national debt while transferring wealth from working families to millionaires and billionaires. Whatever relief people did get has been offset — by tariffs, by health care, by gas, and by the growing cost of living crisis that Republicans have refused to address." Source: Rep. Nydia Velázquez (Democrat, New York, District 7)

• "It’s been almost one year since Republicans passed the Working Families Tax Cuts and secured permanent tax relief for hardworking South Dakotans and families across the country. And after one year, it’s clear that Republicans’ landmark tax relief bill is delivering on its promise to put more money in Americans’ pockets. At the start of this year, Americans saw their take-home pay increase as the new tax law took effect. When they filed their taxes in April, many Americans saw a significantly larger tax refund. And we recently got data showing that 97 percent of Americans saw a tax cut this year, collectively saving $82 billion on their tax bills… Millions of Americans were eligible for additional tax relief this year thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts. Middle-income Americans saw tax relief in the hundreds of dollars, and many saw a tax cut greater than $1,000 this year. The new senior deduction helped 35 million older Americans reduce their tax bill. No tax on tips provided relief to 7.5 million workers, and 29 million workers took the new overtime deduction too."

• "American families and workers overwhelmingly benefited from the Working Families Tax Cuts, receiving the largest share of the historic tax relief delivered this past filing season. This analysis confirms President Trump’s tax policies deliver substantial tax cuts to hardworking Americans and provide greater relief and financial certainty to low- and middle- income households. Under President Trump, our federal tax code and system reflect the American people’s mandate to reject policies that punish success with tax hikes and embrace those that restore fairness, reward work, respect hard-earned paychecks, and reignite the American Dream.
