Senate Republicans hauled President Donald Trump’s big tax breaks and spending cuts bill to passage Tuesday on the narrowest of votes, pushing past opposition from Democrats and their own GOP ranks after a turbulent overnight session.

Vice President JD Vance broke a 50-50 tie to push it over the top. The three Republicans opposing the bill were Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.

The bill still needs to go back to the House: The bill has to pass the House again before Trump can sign it into law, and the difficulty for Republicans is not expected to let up.

Speaker Mike Johnson warned senators not to deviate too far from what his chamber had already approved.
But the Senate did make changes, particularly to Medicaid, risking more problems as they race to finish by Trump’s Fourth of July deadline.

你看，不就是装个样子吵个架，表演给外面人看看吗？一旦分赃均匀了，就通过了

还说 DOGE 砍预算省钱，才在 NSF， NIH 等省了几百亿美元，转眼军费 ４千亿美元又增加了。所以十么省开支都是骗人的

老川等GOP人就藐视科学

所以哪里砍，哪里加、反应价值观
