The House is planning to vote on the Senate-passed version of President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" as soon as Wednesday morning.

In the end, after hours of cajoling, Murkowski got to “yes” by securing several Alaska-specific wins, including by making the bill’s cuts to Medicaid and federal food assistance less severe in her state. She told reporters afterward that she hoped the House would fix the problems in the bill, but few people, including me, took that seriously.
