Statement on Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”

BOSTON (7/3/2025) — Today, Massachusetts Senate President Karen E. Spilka issued the following statement following Congressional passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”:

“Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans’ actions will bring real pain to Massachusetts families. Hundreds of thousands of hard-working people stand to lose their health care—whether through stripped coverage or closed providers. Children, seniors, and families could be denied access to food. And adding trillions of dollars to the national debt threatens the stability of our entire economy.

No state—not even one as strong and resilient as Massachusetts—can fully make up for the devastating funding cuts this cruel and reckless bill would cause.

In the face of these threats, the Massachusetts Senate will continue doing what we’ve always done: working every day to lower costs, build housing, and deliver world-class healthcare, education, and transportation. That’s our mission—and we will keep fighting to deliver for every resident, no matter what region you live in or what your circumstances may be.”
