Dem Senator Whines Amid GOP Push to Gut Medicaid: ‘I Just Want to Go Home'​

If Republicans manage to pass Donald Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill," millions of Americans will lose access to health care, food assistance, and other critical public support programs. One would hope that Democrats - despite being the minority in both chambers - would put up the strongest fight they can against the disastrous piece of legislation.

Sen. John Fetterman's mind is on the beach.

"I just want to go home. I've missed our entire trip to the beach, my family's going to be back before we're [done]," the Pennsylvania Democrat told reporters on Monday. "Again I'm going to vote no. There's no drama with the way the votes are … But all the Democrats, we all know how that's going to do and I don't think it's really helpful to put people here till some ungodly hour."

Banks say Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ could boost the U.S. economy – despite deficit concerns​

  • The American Bankers Association said it “strongly supports” many provisions within the bill.
  • The bill is almost “unquestionably” good for the U.S. economy over the next few years compared to passing nothing, a Nomura economist said.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” — or officially, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — is a controversial piece of legislation, but some banks are in favor of it, saying it’s the shot in the arm the economy needs.

It was advanced in a narrow 51-49 vote in the U.S. Senate late Saturday, moving the large spending measure closer to the president’s desk.

By Richard Cowan, David Morgan and Bo Erickson

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Republican-controlled U.S. Senate passed President Donald Trump's tax and spending bill on Tuesday, signing off on a massive package that would enshrine many of his top priorities into law while adding $3.3 trillion to the national debt.

The bill now heads back to the House of Representatives for final approval. Trump has pushed lawmakers to get it to his desk to sign into law by the July 4 Independence Day holiday.

Trump admin live updates: Vance casts tie-breaking vote to pass megabill in Senate​

After three days of debate and drama, the Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump's giant tax and immigration bill on Tuesday.

Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote after a 50-50 tally, with three Republicans voting against the sprawling measure.

The bill must now go to the House for final approval. But it could face some issues there, especially among GOP fiscal hawks, as the Senate version is projected to add roughly $1 trillion more to the deficit than what the House passed back in May.
