House Republicans have narrowly passed a massive tax and spending bill championed by President Donald Trump, winning by a single vote after intense internal negotiations.

The $5.2 trillion package extends Trump-era tax cuts, boosts defense spending, and funds mass deportations while cutting programs like Medicaid and SNAP, sparking strong opposition from the Democrats.

It also includes temporary tax exemptions for overtime and tips—key promises from Trump’s 2024 campaign.

The bill now heads to the Senate, where changes are expected.

  1. Nothing will be done to stop the illegal and UN-Constitutional Double Taxation of Americans living and working overseas, where they are taxed on both their local foreign income, and also on their overseas foreign income by the illegal IRS!
    These ‘American Overseas’ groups have yet to file lawsuits to that effect!
    This is why the Yanks have renounced their U.S. Citizenship in record numbers. Used to be only a few (60+) but now it’s in the thousands!
