In reply to the discussion: House passes Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' in marathon overnight session [View all]nitpicked

House Republicans on Thursday morning passed a sweeping bill full of President Trumps legislative priorities, kicking off what is expected to be a bitter battle with the Senate over achieving key parts of the White Houses policy agenda.
The chamber cleared the sprawling package in a 215-214 early-morning vote after days of marathon meetings, intense negotiations that spanned both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, and a series of last-minute changes to the bill, which were crucial in coalescing Republicans around the measure.
In the end, just two Republicans Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Warren Davidson (Ohio) opposed the legislation. House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris (R-Md.) voted present.
The bill titled the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, adopting Trumps slogan for the measure extends the tax cuts enacted by the president in 2017; boosts funding for border, deportation, and national defense priorities; imposes reforms, like beefed-up work requirements, on Medicaid that are projected to result in millions of low-income individuals losing health insurance; rolls back green energy tax incentives; and increases the debt limit by $4 trillion, among many other provisions.
