The landmark “Big Beautiful Bill” that President Donald Trump signed on July 4 will affect the finances of hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans.

The federal budget deficit is back in the spotlight after the Republican-controlled Congress approved a massive tax and spending package on July 3 aimed at realizing President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act extends Trump's expiring tax cuts and adds new deductions for middle-class Americans, including relief for tipped workers, overtime pay and retirees.

Trump met again with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House to discuss Gaza ceasefire efforts.

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Tuesday for President Donald Trump's administration to resume carrying out mass job cuts and the restructuring of agencies, elements of his campaign to downsize and reshape the federal government.

The high court said it had based its decision on the legality of Trump’s executive order, and didn’t rule on whether any reorganization plans broke the law.
