Last week, House Republicans passed H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, in a 215 to 214 vote that all but two GOP representatives supported. Beyond sending a chilling message about Democrats’ chances of defeating, well, anything Trump wants to prioritize, the bill, one of the biggest pieces of legislation to come out of the second Trump administration, has far-reaching implications for many marginalized groups. Below, an explanation of who’s most likely to be affected by the bill—and how.

Single Parents

Not-so-surprisingly, the party of so-called “family values” is using its latest piece of legislation to discriminate against single parents when it comes to SNAP, or food stamp, benefits. One of the bill’s provisions states that parents of children ages 7 to 17 must now work 80 hours a month to receive SNAP benefits, but in households where parents are married, only one has to work. In other words, single parents with kids as young as 8 must work in order to receive food aid, while people who are married to a working adult don’t have to.

Trans Medicaid Recipients

The Big Beautiful Bill has justified trans communities’ long-held worries about the future of gender-affirming care in ths US, banning gender-affirming care from Medicaid for all ages. “For 10 years I got my hormones from the low-income American program Medicaid. 95% of my friends still do. Every American trans woman of color I know does…as of this morning, Americans face the biggest practical, not legal or theoretical, loss of bodily autonomy of my lifetime,” trans author Torrey Peters said of the bill’s passage at the Sydney Writer’s Festival last Friday.

Immigrants in the US

The bill provides $46.5 billion to revive construction of Trump’s wall along the US-Mexico border; $4 billion to hire an additional 3,000 new Border Patrol agents and 5,000 new customs officers; and $2.1 billion for signing and retention bonuses. Trump’s second term has already proven dangerous for non-citizens, what with the increased deportations and persecuation by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

People seeking abortions and/or other reproductive health care

The Big Beautiful Bill makes good on Republicans’ long-threatened plan to effectively defund Planned Parenthood, closing nearly 200 clinics (90% of them in states where abortion is still legal).

…Elon Musk?

The tech billionaire appears to be at something of a distance from Trump’s inner orbit now that he’s no longer running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), telling CBS News recently: “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing…I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don’t know if it can be both. My personal opinion.”
