The GOP megabill is moving to the Senate, where big changes could be in store
Briefly

The Senate is currently deliberating President Trump's ambitious domestic policy agenda, notably the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' recently passed by the House. This sweeping legislation includes tax cuts, increased military and border security spending, alongside significant Medicaid cuts. The bill's passage hinges on a reconciliation process allowing it to pass with a simple majority. GOP Majority Leader John Thune faces dissent from fiscal conservatives like Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul, both expressing concerns about the bill's sustainability and potential deficit ramifications, reflecting ongoing intraparty conflicts over spending and taxation.
Sen. Ron Johnson criticized the GOP bill as 'completely unsustainable,' indicating significant party discord as they consider changes before Senate voting.
Amid pressure from spending hawks, Majority Leader Thune can only afford to lose three Republican senators, complicating support for President Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'
