Senate approves Republican plan for trillions in tax breaks and spending cuts

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Vote fell mostly along party lines and now goes to the House, where it could be voted on as soon as next week Senate Republicans plugged away overnight and into early Saturday morning to approve their multitrillion-dollar tax breaks and spending cuts framework, hurtling past hardened Democratic opposition toward what Donald Trump calls the "big, beautiful bill" that is central to his agenda.
54% : They all failed, though a GOP amendment to protect Medicare and Medicaid was accepted.
53% : But with a nod from Trump, GOP leaders held on, determined to march ahead.
50% : The House Republicans had already approved their version, with $4.5tn in tax breaks over 10 years and about $2tn in budget cuts pointed at changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other programs, and some have panned the Senate's approach.
50% : A new estimate from the joint committee on taxation projects the tax breaks will add $5.5tn in debt over the next decade when including interest, and $4.6tn not including interest.
43% : Among them were proposals to ban tax breaks for the super-wealthy, end Trump's tariffs, clip his efforts to shrink the federal government, and protect Medicaid, social security and other services.
10% : "Trump's policies are a disaster," said the Democratic Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer of New York, as is Elon Musk's "department of government efficiency".
