House passes Trump tax breaks bill in midnight vote
House Republicans pushed through a 1,000 plus page package after long negotiations with Speaker Johnson unifying the caucus. The 215-214 vote sailed to the Senate with Democrats opposing, as Trump urged action and warned of betrayal if stalled. The bill extends 4.5 trillion in tax breaks from 2017 while adding new ones and cuts Medicaid and SNAP, funded by 350 billion in new spending including 150 billion for Pentagon. CBO estimates 8.6 million fewer insured and 3 million fewer SNAP recipients per month under the plan.
