House passes Trump's "big, beautiful bill" in razor-thin vote after dramatic all-night session

The budget package addresses President Trump's tax, defense and energy priorities. It now heads to the Senate, where hurdles remain.

The House narrowly passed Trump’s domestic policy bill Thursday following a dramatic all-night session and days of negotiations.

In a 215 to 214 vote, all but two House Republicans supported the massive budget package — the centerpiece legislation of Mr. Trump’s second-term agenda — in a vote that came hours after unveiling an updated version of the legislation that GOP leaders hoped would satisfy enough holdouts.

The measure cleared a critical procedural hurdle in the wee hours of the morning, teeing up the vote on final passage after days of consternation among the House Republican conference.

The bill will now go to the Senate, where some Republicans have already voiced some opposition. Congressional leaders have said they want to get it to Mr. Trump’s desk by July 4.

    Courts have stopped like 90% of the shit hey are trying to do.

    Have they, though? They’ve ruled against things, sure, but the majority of those things haven’t stopped or changed, so what effects have the rulings actually had?

      Look at the numbers, they aren’t really deporting people in the numbers they should be according to their agenda. He capitulated on tariffs with China. Every week it’s a different fumble from his cabinet. Even the worst gifters of the MAGAspehere are starting to speak out against Trump’s corrupt behavior.

      All their policies are being enacted via EO so they can and will be stricken down the moment another democrat takes power.

      The biggest concern I have with this administration beyond the obvious human right violations of sending people to foreign gulags, is not the actions it’s taking by themself but rather the precent they are setting. The next democratic president, if they are really worried about fascism as they say, needs to give priority to dismantling the power of the executive and returning it to congress. But that probably won’t happen because they’re all power grubbing greedy assholes.

      I think democrats need to look back and realize that the pre maga GOP was absolutely right when it said that state sovereignty should be preserved above all things. It is the strongest bulwark the US has against authoritarianism.
