The Senate has passed President Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” sending it one step closer to becoming law.
The vote was 51-50. As expected, two of the GOP no votes came from Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and disgraced RINO Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina.
The other no vote came from Susan Collins of Maine.

The passages came after the Democrats stalled progress for hours this weekend by forcing the poor Senate clerks to read the 940-page bill. After that, the Senate embarked on a massive vote-a-rama which ended late this morning.
The legislation accomplishes several critical policies, including making the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxation on tips and overtime, locking down the border, and taking an axe to Joe Biden’s green energy scam.
Earlier today, it was reported that the Senate had the votes to pass the bill after Lisa Murkowski of Alaska switched to yes.

This was thanks to Senate Republicans reportedly doubling the rural hospital fund from $25 billion to $50 billion. Alaska, of course, has a large rural population.
From colleague Aishah Hasnie. Senate Republicans doubled the rural hospital fund form $25B to $50B now. Half of it will be through grants. They hope this will convince Murkowski to vote yes on Big, Beautiful Bill

Before the vote, Chuck Schumer was able to strike the name “Big Beautiful Bill” from the bill’s text. How childish and pathetic on his part.
#BREAKING: Chuck Schumer has made a motion to strike the name “Big Beautiful Bill” from the bill’s text.

This means the bill will no longer be called the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”
