Congress passes Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'

 
Congress passed Donald Trump's massive package of tax and federal spending cuts, delivering the president the first big legislative win of his second term.
 
Its passage followed a fierce arm-twisting campaign by GOP leaders to unite a deeply divided party behind Trump's sweeping domestic agenda.
 
The president is expected to sign his 'big, beautiful bill' on Friday at 5 p.m. as he celebrates the 4th of July at the White House.
 
The House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries broke the modern-day record for longest house floor speech using his magic minute to speak for hours against the bill and drawing out debate on the package. 
 
The multi-trillion-dollar bill is set to unlock tax cuts and funding boosts for national security, partially paid for by the largest cut to the federal safety net in decades.
