(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - In the final hours before July 4th, Labor Unions pulled out all the stops in a last-ditch effort to block President Donald Trump’s Project 2025-inspired billionaire budget from becoming law. But in the end, Republicans rammed the Class Warfare Bill through the House and sent it to Trump’s desk for a signature ahead of the Holiday Weekend.

Tax cuts for the super-rich and Medicaid and benefit cuts to Medicaid for everyone else are the central focus of the $4.5 trillion law, which is a win for Trump and his billionaire backers. 

Only two Republicans broke ranks, joining all House Democrats to oppose the measure and bringing the tally to 218-to-214.

Labor had hit the road as the clock ticked down toward the final vote, notably in Michigan and Wisconsin, arguing hard against the “big bad Bill.”

Unions trashed the Bill’s theft of public wealth to enrich the already wealthy, adding environmental and health care complaints to their opposition as well.
