On Capitol Hill, senators held another marathon session overnight Monday ahead of a final vote on President Trump’s massive package of tax cuts for the wealthy and cuts to social programs benefiting poor and working families. At least two Republicans have broken ranks from party leaders to oppose Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina cited deep cuts to Medicaid, which he says would devastate his state, and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky cited the Congressional Budget Office’s finding that the bill would add $3.3 trillion to the national debt.
