Congress Passes Big Beautiful Bill, Sends to President's Desk

Congressional Republicans pulled together as expected after a few hours of noisy faux-independence and voted to pass the president's signature agenda item: the One Big Beautiful Bill. It's got tax breaks for the wealthy, benefit cuts for the poor, and a ginormous budget bump for the Department of Homeland Security (and a more modest one for the Pentagon). We'll probably learn more of what it's got over the coming days as observers delve into its nooks and crannies. Happy Fourth of July, America.
