Senate Passes President Trump’s Megabill (WSJ. 20250701)

Vance. The Senate's 51/50 action puts Republicans on the verge of locking in Trump's top legislative priorities, extended tax cuts, new tax breaks, reductions in Medicaid spending, and more money for border enforcement and defense. The package would next go to the house where Republicans would again need to bridge deep political divides in the party. Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said that steady economic activity would allow the central bank to wait and see the effects that tariffs have had on prices and economic growth before resuming interest rate reductions. Speaking at a conference in Portugal hosted by the European Central Bank, Powell declined to make any predictions for the Fed's upcoming meeting at the end of the month, and said that decisions would be shaped by the economic outlook. AMC Entertainment has reached an agreement with creditors to reduce debt and receive new financing.
