House GOP pulls all-nighter as they try to push Trump's "big, beautiful bill" forward

Washington — The House is pushing forward on President Trump's "one, big beautiful bill," as the final committees considered some of the most contentious parts of the major budget package aimed at addressing the president's defense, energy and tax priorities.
The Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce and Agriculture committees began meeting Tuesday to debate and vote on their proposals as Republicans remained divided on a number of major issues — from Medicaid to tax cuts.
After a nearly 18-hour markup, the Ways and Means panel, which is responsible for the tax portions of the bill, advanced its portion of the legislation Wednesday morning, in a 26-19 vote. But the key sticking point, a cap on the state and local tax deduction, often referred to as SALT, appeared to go unresolved. Republicans who represent blue states have pushed for an increase to the $10,000 cap, but balked at a proposed $30,000 cap in recent days.
