US EditionHouse works into the night as Republicans push ahead on Trump's 'big bill'

- It includes over $5 trillion in tax cuts, tightened Medicaid work requirements, shifting some food assistance costs to states, nearly $150 billion for defense, and student loan program revamping.

- The bill’s slim House support leads to ongoing negotiations among Republicans, with Speaker Johnson committed to bringing it to the floor despite fiscal and moderate GOP concerns.
