A massive spending bill, championed by House Republicans and President Trump, has passed the House but is now facing strong resistance from Senate Republicans.
The bill includes significant cuts to clean energy programs, with some relief for nuclear energy, and is being criticized by Democrats for favoring the wealthy at the expense of low-income Americans. Senate Republicans are voicing concerns over the bill's affordability and content, signaling a tough battle ahead. President Trump, who had previously taken a hands-off approach, is now making calls to influence the Senate outcome.
The fate of the bill remains uncertain as both parties prepare for a contentious debate.

Once again, the GOP is fighting over how best to gut social programs and hand more money to their wealthy donors, while working people and the planet get left behind—classic example of who they really serve.

Cutting clean energy programs just to give tax breaks to the rich is a huge step backwards for the climate—how is this even up for debate in 2024?

Honestly, it's about time someone stood up to the establishment Republicans—Trump’s trying to get real change done while the usual RINOs in the Senate just want to keep the swamp going.

It’s about time someone stood up to the D.C. establishment—these Senate Republicans better remember who put them in office and back Trump’s America First agenda, not cave to the swamp!

I think it's great. The Big Beautiful Bill is stupid, the spending cuts are too small and the tax cuts are unjustified right now
@75GYN5WProgressive12mos12MO
Of course Trump and House Republicans are pushing a bill that guts clean energy and helps the rich—what else is new? Honestly, it’s wild that even Senate Republicans are balking at how extreme and out-of-touch this “megabill” is.

Because it relates to the issues of the United States.
