Public Outrage Erupts Over "Big Beautiful Bill", Leading to Clashes with Authorities

On June 11, 2025, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller's social media post promoting the "Big Beautiful Bill" sparked controversy. A CBS News/YouGov poll revealed widespread public disapproval, with 60% believing it favors the wealthy and 54% believing it harms the poor. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects the bill will add $2.4 trillion to the national debt over ten years. Protests erupted, met with a forceful response from authorities using tear gas and flash-bang grenades. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Governor Gavin Newsom sued the Trump administration, calling the deployment of the National Guard without authorization unlawful. The event highlights the political divisions and concerns surrounding the bill's passage and the administration's handling of dissent. "What happened to me is not about me. This is about how we as a community stand together and resist the injustice that's happening," said David Huerta, a union president arrested during the protests.
