Share and Follow


The Senate will resume debate on massive GOP policy legislation dubbed the “big, beautiful bill” on Monday morning after a marathon weekend of adjusting legislation to fit parliamentarian rulings and appease particular senators.

Senators will convene for a lengthy “vote-a-rama,” during which lawmakers can offer an unlimited number of amendments that are related to the mammoth proposal. Democrats will be at the heart of the action, as they try to amend the mammoth bill that champions President Trump’s agenda.

Republicans can lose a maximum of three votes, with Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) already expected to vote “no” over their opposition to proposed Medicaid cuts and the inclusion of a $5 trillion debt ceiling hike, respectively. The House will return midweek to vote on the bill.

Catch up on the weekend’s action:

  • Senate GOP declines to meet with parliamentarian on whether Trump tax cuts add to deficit
  • Trump urges Senate GOP to overrule parliamentarian
  • Tillis: Senate bill breaks Trump’s promise on Medicaid

The White House will brief reporters at 1 p.m. EDT Monday.

In court action, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans will hear oral arguments in a case contesting the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. And the Supreme Court will announce a lineup of cases for its next term.

Follow along on these events and more here today.
