- Jeffries protested limited debate rules and pledged to take his sweet time sharing constituent stories opposing deep Medicaid cuts and social program rollbacks.
- The legislation proposes over $4 trillion in tax reductions, allocates $350 billion for defense and border security, and implements $1.2 trillion in reductions to Medicaid and food assistance programs, reflecting GOP priorities and concerns.

- The Senate passed the bill by one vote, but final House passage remains uncertain due to ongoing opposition and Jeffries' refusal to yield the floor quickly.
