Santa Clara County officials fear that Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” will rip a “seismic tear” in the country’s social safety net as they brace for more than $1 billion in lost federal revenues locally over the next few years.

Larry Summers said the bill likely would not make the economy stronger, and flagged concerned over the amount it would add to the US debt.

Queens and Long Island Rep. Tom Suozzi stood by his decision to vote against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act despite acknowledging that he agrees with roughly three-quarters of the megabill.
