It appears the Senate has come to a deal and President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Senate Leader John Thune says the bill will now pass, but that has not happened yet.
So we're treating this as a developing story as things unfold.

The news garnered immediate reaction across X.
It better defund Planned Parenthood and kick illegals off Medicaid ... just sayin'. https://t.co/OtY5XZ7fE9

Here's hoping.
Pass it before one of them does a John McCain. https://t.co/W6Wp8C0AsE

Fair point.
People do have some concerns about the bill, including Medicaid for illegal immigrants.
1.4M Illegal aliens still getting Medicaid or nah?

Seems they are.
Sounds like it.

That'll disappoint some people.
But it’s so neutered as to be nothing like the House passed… and a*****e congresscritters will all go home for the 4th patting themselves on the back for having done a great thing, when all they’ve done is nothing like they claim it’s doing.

That's another concern.
I hope Trump declines signing this bill if it includes funding illegals in any way, shape or form. https://t.co/jsVFYZRABx

We'll see.
Some are very happy:
Hallelujah!!! Thank you President Trump!!! https://t.co/KVfs7zrT4I

Others see an incoming fight with the House:
And it won't pass the House when it goes back. Everyone should listen to Beck's interview this morning with Chip Roy about how bad the Senate is screwing us and POTUS

There are some concerns about gun control legislation in the bill, too.
If they don't add back the language on SBRs and Suppressors, thr GOP will lose the mid terms. Nothing about this Bill is beautiful.

Others are hoping this means progress to a final bill:
Thune’s words mean progress. Let’s finish strong and deliver for the people.

As we said, this is a developing story. We'll keep you updated on when the bill comes to a vote. We do not have timing on when that might happen.
