House Republicans have passed Trump’s sweeping budget bill that gives massive tax breaks to the rich while slashing spending for Medicaid, nutritional assistance and subsidies for clean energy. The measure just eked through in a 215-214 vote early this morning. Senate Republicans, who’ve voiced some concerns over the measure, will now have to pass their own version of the budget. With all Democratic senators opposed to the package, Republicans could resort to using the reconciliation process to avoid a filibuster.
