Senate Narrowly Passes Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill

After a marathon vote-a-rama that lasted more than 24 hours, where both Republicans and Democrats submitted amendments to the One Big Beautiful Bill, the Senate voted 51-50 to pass the megabill after Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) had announced a deal had been reached earlier on Tuesday. Vice President JD Vance was there to break the tie on the bill's final passage and on amendments being voted on up until the last minute. 

 

All Democrats voted against the bill, as did Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Susan Collins (R-ME). Tillis made headlines over the weekend not only for his opposition to advancing the bill on Saturday, but his Sunday announcement he would be retiring. 

Trump had urged lawmakers early Tuesday morning to bring the measure across the finish line, as the OBBB “gives the largest Tax Cuts and Border Security ever, Jobs by the Millions, Military/Vets increases, and so much more,” while cautioning that failure to pass the bill would result in a “whopping 68% Tax increase, the largest in history!!!” Read more, see Xs and videos here.

While Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have started questioning former President Joe Biden's Cabinet members about the alleged cover-up of his cognitive decline, a former Democratic National Committee (DNC) insider says she is sitting on a trove of answers. 

In a wide-ranging exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Lindy Li, a former DNC fundraiser and National Finance Committee member, detailed her front-row seat to Biden's presidency and the people who pulled the strings behind the scenes. 

"[Biden is] definitely complicit, but there were a lot of people behind him, like puppet masters. [Former first lady Jill Biden] very much knew what she was doing. What she did was absolutely elder abuse. There is no question in my mind," Li said. 

Last week, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., issued a subpoena to Anthony Bernal, former assistant to the president and senior advisor to the first lady, to appear for a July 16 deposition. Read more and see video here.
