Trump appears to have dropped his expectations that his marquee tax spending bill will pass before the holidays as it faces roadblocks in the Senate \u2013 key US politics stories from Thursday 26 June at a glance
Just two days ago, Donald Trump<\/a> told Republican members of Congress to cancel their vacation plans until his \u201cbig beautiful bill\u201d is sewn up and ready for his signature on 4 July.
But in his final pitch to congressional leaders and cabinet secretaries at the White House on Thursday, he made no mention of deadlines, as his marquee tax-and-spending bill develops a logjam that could threaten its passage through the Senate.
Trump stood before an assembly composed of police and fire officers, working parents and the mother and father of a woman he said died at the hands of an undocumented immigrant to argue that Americans like them would benefit from the bill, which includes<\/a> new tax cuts and the extension of lower rates enacted during his first term, as well as an infusion of funds for immigration enforcement.
\u201cThere are hundreds of things here. It\u2019s so good,\u201d he said.
The bill is highly divisive and deeply unpopular with segments of the country. Democrats have dubbed the bill the \u201cbig, ugly betrayal\u201d, and railed against what would be the biggest funding cut<\/a> to Medicaid since it was created in 1965, and cost an estimated 16 million people their insurance. It would also slash funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), which helps Americans afford food.
Republicans intended to circumvent the filibuster in the Senate by using the budget reconciliation procedure, under which they can pass legislation with just a majority vote, provided it only affects spending, revenue and the debt limit. But on Thursday, the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, ruled that a change to taxes that states use to pay for Medicaid was not allowed under the rules.
Democrats took credit for MacDonough\u2019s ruling, with Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer saying the party \u201csuccessfully fought a noxious provision that would\u2019ve decimated America\u2019s healthcare system and hurt millions of Americans. This win saves hundreds of billions of dollars for Americans to get healthcare, rather than funding tax cuts to billionaires.\u201d

The US secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth<\/a>, defended the US strikes on Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities and said that Trump had \u201cdecimated \u2026 obliterated\u201d the country\u2019s nuclear program despite initial intelligence assessments that last week\u2019s strikes had failed to destroy key enrichment facilities<\/a> and they could resume operations within just months.
But he and the chair of the joint chiefs of staff, Gen Dan Caine, largely based that assessment on AI modeling, showing test videos of the bunker buster bombs used in the strikes and referred questions on a battle damage assessment of Fordow to the intelligence community.
