🇺🇸 BREAKING: HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE APPROVES TRUMP'S "BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL" AFTER MARATHON SESSION
The House Rules Committee voted to advance Republicans' massive tax and spending package to the floor after Speaker Mike Johnson made key amendments to win over GOP holdouts during a nearly full-day meeting.
The multitrillion-dollar legislation now heads to the House floor, with lawmakers notified to return to Capitol Hill for a late-night vote series that could extend into the early morning hours.
The bill includes accelerated Medicaid work requirements, expanded state and local tax deductions, and faster elimination of clean energy tax credits—changes designed to satisfy various Republican factions.
Johnson successfully navigated his narrow three-seat majority to get the legislation through the Rules Committee, marking a crucial step toward passing Trump's domestic policy agenda through the House.

JUST IN: Interim National Security Adviser and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has placed over 100 officials at the National Security Council at the White House on administrative leave on Friday, according to CNN.
“An email from NSC chief of staff Brian McCormack went out around 4:20 p.m. informing those being dismissed they’d have 30 minutes to clean out their desks, according to an administration official. If they weren’t on campus, the email read, they could email an address and arrange a time to retrieve their stuff later and turn in devices.”
“The email subject line read: “Your return to home agency,” indicating that most of those affected were detailed to the NSC from other departments and agencies.”
“Those put on leave include career officials, as well as political hires made during the Trump administration,” CNN reports.
Marco Rubio has been by far Trump’s best cabinet selection.
