GOP leaders unveiled a 940-page version of the bill early Saturday. Mirroring the House proposal, it features tax reductions, Medicaid adjustments, cuts to nutritional assistance, and increased funding for both military and immigration enforcement.

“The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!” Musk wrote, highlighting his concerns about the bill’s potential consequences.
Musk has previously stated his belief that the bill would substantially increase the national debt and negate savings achieved by the department of government efficiency, a cost-cutting initiative he previously spearheaded. He has described the bill as a “revolting abomination” that could bankrupt the nation.
What’s next
The Senate is expected to continue debating the bill in the coming days, with a final vote anticipated before the July 4 recess. The House will than consider the Senate-passed version.
