• The One Big Beautiful Bill Act may go down as the signature legislative achievement of President Donald Trump’s second term.
• It takes welfare benefits from illegal immigrants, implements reasonable work requirements for able-bodied adults without children, and phases out many "Green New Deal" subsidies.
• Some conservatives have criticized the legislation for being, well, big.
• But if they think that bigger bills usually aren’t better, they may be pleased to learn that the "big, beautiful bill" will reduce the pressure for large, "must-pass" bills in the future.
