US Senate Republicans were on Tuesday morning continuing to make a final push for passage of Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill”, a massive tax-and-spending bill that the president has demanded be ready for his signature by Friday.
The bill – Trump’s top legislative priority – would extend huge tax cuts, remove tax on tips and pour billions of dollars into immigration enforcement, paying for all this with similarly huge cuts to Medicaid (the healthcare program for poorer Americans), food stamps and green energy.
