US EditionSenate Launches Weekend of Work
- On Saturday, the Senate convened an uncommon weekend session to begin consideration of a 940-page bill containing tax relief measures, spending reductions, and funding for deportation efforts.
- Republicans hurried to approve the package ahead of the July Fourth deadline to prevent the expiration of numerous tax provisions enacted during Trump's initial term.
- The bill includes $3.8 trillion in extended tax breaks, $350 billion for national security including deportation, and cuts to Medicaid that caused GOP dissent.
- Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer criticized Republicans for unveiling the bill abruptly and hastening its approval, while Elon Musk condemned the proposal as extremely harmful and reckless.
- The bill still needs to return to the House for final votes and faces unified Democratic opposition, making Senate passage potentially days away and uncertain.
