- The House of Representatives passed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' on Thursday morning, rewriting tax and spending policies.

- Given internal criticism and narrow House approval, the bill’s future depends on Senate revisions, which could reshape healthcare and tax provisions while testing Republican cohesion.
