🏛️ Behind the Scenes of the Senate All-Nighter The Senate pulled an all-nighter to pass the bill using the budget reconciliation process, which allows legislation to pass with a simple majority (50 votes) and bypass the filibuster. The process involved a "vote-a-rama"—a marathon session of votes on amendments, lasting over 27 hours. Senators coped with the long hours by napping in cloakrooms or hideaways, eating fast food (like McDonald's breakfast), and socializing in informal groups. 📜 Major Provisions in the Bill Extension of the 2017 Trump Tax Cuts Prevents a $4 trillion tax increase that would have occurred if the cuts expired.

Military and Defense $150 billion for military modernization, including hypersonic weapons, submarines, and missile defense systems. $24 billion for the Coast Guard, including new polar icebreakers. Trump Accounts New private investment accounts for every newborn, seeded with $1,000. Encourages long-term savings and financial literacy. Supported by major CEOs like Michael Dell, who pledged employer contributions. School Choice Expanded 529 savings plans (up to $20,000/year).
