BREAKING: Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill has officially PASSED the U.S. Senate, with JD Vance breaking the tie
It now heads back to the House for a vote on the changes made.
It COULD still hit Trump's desk by July 4th.
An amendment to kick illegals out of Medicare got 56 votes. But it was eliminated from the bill because the Senate Parliamentarian didn't like it.
Note that Republicans can vote to override the Senate Parliamentarian, and can vote to fire her, but they won't. As we know from the longest running off-Broadway show, Failure Theater, RINO Republicans like Cornyn, McConnell, Tillis, and Thune love ceding power to Democrats so that the Democrats can block conservative measures and the RINOs can say "But we voted with you."
Yes, you voted with us, because you knew you had empowered the Democrats to have a veto over the vote.
