The Senate GOP released text of the 940-page reconciliation bill just after midnight. The Republicans are aiming for a Saturday vote.
On Friday afternoon President Trump said Republican Senators are working all weekend to finish his “Big Beautiful Bill.”
“The Great Republicans in the U.S. Senate are working all weekend to finish our “ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.” We are on the precipice of delivering Massive General Tax Cuts, NO TAX ON TIPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME, NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY FOR OUR SENIORS, Permanently Securing our Borders, an even Bigger and More Powerful Military (I rebuilt it during my First Term, and it is already the Best, but we will make it BETTER!), unleashing our American Economy, dominating the Energy Market, creating Jobs, and getting money back to American Families. The House of Representatives must be ready to send it to my desk before July 4th — We can get it done. It will be a wonderful Celebration for our Country, which is right now, “The Hottest Country anywhere in the World” — And to think, just last year, we were a laughingstock. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said.
Shortly before midnight, Senate Budge Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham released text of the Big Beautiful Bill.
This is not the final bill. Senators are still making revisions.

MacDonough rejected:

- Defunding the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (DOGE targeted this agency)
- The EPA’s effort to roll back Electric Vehicle mandates
- A proposal to restrict federal courts from issuing nationwide injunctions
Fox News reported:
Senate Republicans unveiled their long-awaited version of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” but its survival is not guaranteed.
Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., revealed the stitched-together text of the colossal bill late Firday night.
The final product from the upper chamber is the culmination of a roughly month-long sprint to take the House GOP’s version of the bill and mold and change it. The colossal package includes separate pieces and parts from 10 Senate committees. With the introduction of the bill, a simple procedural hurdle must be passed in order to begin the countdown to final passage.
When that comes remains an open question. Senate Republicans left their daily lunch on Friday under the assumption that a vote could be teed up as early as noon on Saturday.
