It is day 163 of the second Trump administration and after a marathon voting session, the Senate narrowly passed the president's sweeping budget bill. The vote was 51 to 50 with Vice President J. Dance casting the break the tiebreaking vote because three Republicans, can you guess who they were? Susan Collins, Ran Paul, and Tom Tillis voted no. In the end, Lisa Marowski of Alaska, a very vocal critic of several provisions of this bill. She voted yes, but she said it was an agonizing decision. Our own Ryan N ...

We could call out each of the 50 Republicans who voted yes, but we want to focus on some special attention, if you will, Lisa Marowski, because she expressed genuine reservations about the bill and voted for it anyway. Even after she voted yes, she claimed to reporters that she didn't like the legislation she just voted for. Folks, where's the courage. Where is the backbone on the legislation.Heads to back to the house and speaker Johnson has promised to get it to the president's desk by Friday. Joining us ...

Good evening from New York. I'm Chris Hayes. You know, there's a meme I see on the internet all the time.You might have seen it, too. It is a post by the satirical social media outfit cousin of the Onion called Click Hole. And it's a photo of this very seriousl looking man with the headline, "Hartbreaking. The worst person you know just made a great point on social media. This can indeed be heartbreaking. It could be heartbreaking in real life." And that post has taken on a life of its own over the last few ...

The Senate passed President Trump's big beautiful bill 51 to 50 Tuesday with Vice President Vance having to cast the tiebreaking vote using a rule that lets them bypass the normal 60 vote threshold. It's called budget reconciliation which if the bill meets certain conditions allows them to pass on a simple majority. Importantly, the bill can't add to the deficit outside of a 10-year window.If a bill lowers taxes, it has to lower spending the same amount. Trump's tax cuts in 2017 that this big beautiful bill ...

ated for my state's interests. I will continue to do that and I will make no excuses for doing that. Do I like this bill.No. Because I tried to take care of Alaska's interests. But I know I know that in many parts of the country there are Americans that are not going to be advantaged by this bill.I don't like that. I don't. Today was the day when Republican lawmakers went from passengers in the implementation of Donald Trump's agenda to co-drivers because that massive domestic spending bill, the one that ad ...

Effectively what we're doing here is we're authorizing $3.8% trillion in deficit increases without paying for it and moreover assuming that the cost is zero. And the reason that's important is mostly for the bond markets and anybody looking at our go forward debt and deficits that effectively paves the road a beautiful road for steamrolling through any further deficit increases that any party wants from from now on. So this is like sort of the end of any sort of leash on deficit increases or spending from C ...

Dismal polling, multiple warnings of an electoral wipeout, and a primary threat from the world's richest man. Well, none of that deterred Senate Republicans from passing Donald Trump's mega bill. In the end, the Senate voted 5050 to pass the bill.JD Vance breaking the tie. Three Republican senators voting no. And now the bill heads back to the House where Republicans on both ends of the spectrum have major issues with it.Now, a reminder, the bill guts Medicaid to the tune of$1 trillion dollars, kicks 11.8% ...

On this vote, the yays are 50, the nays are 50. The Senate being evenly divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative. The bill as amended is passed.We're here on Capitol Hill where the Senate just passed President Trump's reconciliation package on a 51-50 vote with Vice President JD Vance casting the tiebreaker. The plan combines $4.5% trillion in tax cuts with $1.2% trillion in spending cuts. Senate Republicans were broadly in agreement about the main pillars of the bill, including when it came to ...

I also want to bring in Democratic Senator Peter Welch of Vermont who just voted no on this bill. Uh, as we just heard from Tim Miller, a senator, this bill did seem like it was on the cusp of potentially being defeated. Uh, Lisa Marowski, again, as Tim just pointed out, had a chance to be what John McCain was for Obamacare, defy his party, and vote yes.Um, what do you make of what we just saw on the floor of the House of the Senate. Well, obviously very disappointing for us. I mean, this is a very signific ...

Now to breaking news on Capitol Hill where senators just voted to pass the so-called big beautiful bill. That's right. It happened just moments ago and really it's been a marathon session there in the Senate as lawmakers race to get this bill passed uh by a self-imposed July 4th deadline.Julie Circin joins us now from her post. Uh Julie, what's interesting about this to me is is Vance broke this 50-50 tie, but but this is just to reset the scene for our viewers. is really the bulk of President Donald Trump' ...
