Live updates: Senate fights to the finish line on Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'

snip

Senators will convene for a lengthy “vote-a-rama,” during which lawmakers can offer an unlimited number of amendments that are related to the mammoth proposal. Democrats will be at the heart of the action, as they try to amend the mammoth bill that champions President Trump’s agenda.

Republicans can lose a maximum of three votes, with Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) already expected to vote “no” over their opposition to proposed Medicaid cuts and the inclusion of a $5 trillion debt ceiling hike, respectively. The House will return midweek to vote on the bill.

Catch up on the weekend’s action:

Senate GOP declines to meet with parliamentarian on whether Trump tax cuts add to deficit
Trump urges Senate GOP to overrule parliamentarian
Tillis: Senate bill breaks Trump’s promise on Medicaid
The White House will brief reporters at 1 p.m. EDT Monday.

In court action, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans will hear oral arguments in a case contesting the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. And the Supreme Court will announce a lineup of cases for its next term.
