Live updates: Rand Paul says cuts in House version of Trump's 'big, booty full bill' are 'anemic'

President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” passed the House on Thursday after lawmakers wrestled with the legislation during an all-night session.

The GOP spending bill now rests before a weary upper chamber as Medicaid reforms and deficit expansion remain concerns for Senate Republicans.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has urged his colleagues not to tamper with the bill’s language, citing a very “delicate equilibrium” reached between the party’s fiscal hawks and Republicans in blue states pushing for tax breaks.

Still, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has already raised several slated revisions.

because the cuts are not draconian enough. I believe some of them would be happy with total elimination of Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and everything else that actually helps their constituents.
