What’s in Trump’s big bill that passed Congress and will soon become law

Republicans muscled President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cut bill through the House on Thursday, the final step necessary to get the bill to his desk by the GOP’s self-imposed deadline of July 4th.

Democrats united against the legislation, but were powerless to stop it as long as Republicans stayed united. The Senate passed the bill, with […]

House Republicans propelled President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill to final congressional passage Thursday, overcoming multiple setbacks to approve his signature second-term policy package before a Fourth of July deadline. The tight roll call, 218-214, came at a potentially high political cost, with two Republicans joining all Democrats opposed. GOP leaders worked overnight and the president himself leaned on a handful of skeptics to drop their opposition and send the bill to him to sign into law. […]

Will JD Vance get the Kamala Harris treatment for his tie-breaking vote for ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’?

President Donald Trump‘s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which extends $3.8 trillion tax cuts and slashes more than $1 trillion in Medicaid and SNAP benefits, would’ve died on a legislative vine had JD Vance, his vice president, not cast his tie-breaking 51-50 U.S. Senate vote. While Trump and his party are currently praising Vance’s role in advancing the unpopular and potentially controversial bill, Democrats hope to use Vance’s consequential vote against him should he decide to run for president, as he […]
