President Donald Trump signs his signature bill of tax breaks and spending cuts at the White House, Friday, July 4, 2025, in Washington.

President Donald Trump's domestic agenda became law in one “big, beautiful bill” passed earlier this month.

The legislation includes new work requirements for Medicaid and SNAP benefits, new funding for border security and an increase in defense spending. Cuts to clean energy programs were paired with extending the tax cuts that were passed during Trump's first term.

On Midday today, a conversation about what the bill means for Maryland with Julie Margetta Morgan, President of the Century Foundation.
