Trump’s MEGA Bill Narrowly Passes US Senate

The US Senate passed President Donald Trump’s domestic agenda bill, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill” (MEGA), with a 51–50 vote, thanks to Vice President James David Vance’s tie-breaking vote. The bill makes Trump-era tax cuts permanent and slashes aid programs, sparking opposition from Democrats and some Republicans. It now heads to the House, where tougher resistance is expected. Trump called the passage a “great development,” while Elon Musk criticized the bill and threatened political retaliation.
