Topics
Jane Koston: 我认为这项共和党支出法案问题重重。阿拉斯加共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基对该法案的通过表示不满，这暗示了该法案可能对美国不利。该法案削减了医疗补助，降低了底层收入者的税后收入，同时增加了对移民执法的资金投入，这与民粹主义背道而驰。此外，即使是参议院版本，对于那些更倾向于众议院版本的财政鹰派来说，仍然不够理想。众议院议长迈克·约翰逊现在面临着巨大的挑战，他只能承受失去三票的风险，并且已经有共和党内部成员公开反对参议院的版本。 Lisa Murkowski: 我承认我不喜欢这项法案。我努力维护阿拉斯加的利益，但我知道这个法案对美国其他地区的人民没有好处。我对这一点感到不满。 Nicholas Wu: 我认为该法案延续了2017年的减税政策，同时削减了医疗补助并增加了国防开支。众议院共和党领导人计划让众议院复会并尝试通过该法案，但能否获得足够的支持票数尚不确定。自由党团似乎是约翰逊目前面临的最大问题，他们对参议院的版本持强硬立场，并且不一定像中间派共和党人那样听从领导。共和党可能会找到方法通过该法案，但需要对强硬派做出让步。特朗普总统对共和党人施加了巨大的压力，要求他们必须在7月4日之前通过该法案。

The Senate passed President Donald Trump's spending bill on Tuesday after Vice President JD Vance arrived to break a 50-50 tie. The bill is now headed back to the House where Republican Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford to lose three members and still pass the bill by a party line vote. To learn more about what this means for Republicans' big beautiful bill and the looming July Fourth deadline, we spoke with Nicholas Wu, a congressional reporter for Politico.

And in headlines: President Trump tours "Alligator Alcatraz," Florida's new migrant detention center, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says Trump's tariff wars pretty much stopped it from cutting interest rates, and the Trump-Musk feud is reignited.
