After hours upon hours of amendment votes, the Senate is now voting on the amended version of the OBBBA. If this passes, it goes back to the House.

Aaaandd scene, in the U.S. Senate. GOP Senators voted 51-50 (w/ tie break) to pass the (now, so-called) One Big Beautiful Bill Act, sending a vastly-altered bill to the House of Representatives. Chyron on GOP closed circuit TV: (as Vance congratulates senators): “WE DID IT!”

And likely long road ahead for amended OBBBA in the House, per GOP Whip note. “Members are advised that procedural votes are possible throughout the day.”

Today in Washington… • President Donald J. Trump has no public events. • House expected to consider Rule vote related to OBBBA Senate amendment. • Senate not in session.

Today in Washington… • President Donald J. Trump meets with freed hostage Edan Alexander. Trump later takes part in event in Iowa. • House continues consideration of Senate amendment to OBBBA. • Senate meets pro forma, no biz expected.
