Senate likely to change House-passed megabill advancing Trump's agenda [View all]
House Republicans approved the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" encompassing President Donald Trump's legislative agenda early Thursday. But clearing the House is just the first hurdle for the bill, which will also have to pass muster with a Senate Republican conference that is already telegraphing that changes to it are coming.
Trump is pushing for swift action on his megabill, urging senators in a post on X to act "as soon as possible" after the narrow victory in the House.

Chief among the issues GOP senators have raised about the bill is that it adds trillions of dollars to the national debt.
"[The] House bill is going to add about $4 trillion to the debt ceiling. The Senate bill adds $5 trillion. There's nothing fiscally conservative about expanding the debt ceiling more than we've ever done it before," Republican Sen. Rand Paul said Thursday. "This will be the greatest increase in the debt ceiling ever, and the GOP owns this now … the deficit this year will be $2.2 trillion the GOP owns that now too."

Doesn't sound like they want to change it for the better.
