US EditionUS Senate Republicans advance Trump bill toward passage
- On June 28, 2025, US Senate Republicans narrowly advanced a 940-page tax and spending bill aimed at extending Trump-era tax cuts and raising the debt limit in Washington, D.C.
- The bill emerged after delays and a late-night release, with opposition stemming from Medicaid cuts, a $5 trillion debt limit increase, and partisan concerns over its content and effects.
