Senate begins debate on Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'

The Senate floor is currently in a bit of a state of paralysis as Senate Republicans try to eke out the necessary votes to begin debate on the "One Big Beautiful Bill.'

The vote tally on the floor stands at 47-50. Three Republicans -- Sens. Mike Lee, Rick Scott and Cynthia Lummis -- still need to cast votes. All three of them will need to vote in favor of this bill in order to keep it moving forward.

The procedural vote on whether to begin debate on the bill has been open for nearly two hours. Vice President JD Vance arrived over an hour ago to prepare to cast the tie-breaking vote.

Even if Republicans get the necessary votes to proceed tonight, there's no guarantee they'll have enough votes when it comes to final passage. Some senators who cast votes to proceed tonight have been non-committal about how they'll vote on final passage.

A federal judge on Friday permanently blocked the Trump Administration from implementing an executive order that sought to target the law firm Susman Godfrey, marking the latest setback for the administration's efforts to punish firms that have represented political enemies of President Trump.

The ruling by Judge Loren AliKhan makes Susman Godfrey the fourth and final firm which has sued the administration in court to secure a permanent ruling blocking the executive order signed by President Trump from taking effect.

"Susman has demonstrated that the Order is unconstitutional from beginning to end," Judge AliKhan wrote in a 53-page ruling. "Here, the Order goes beyond violating the Constitution and the laws of the United States. The Order threatens the independence of the bar—a necessity for the rule of law. Accordingly, the court concludes that the balance of the equities and the public interest weigh overwhelmingly in favor of granting the permanent injunction."

The administration has yet to appeal any of its losses as judge after judge in Washington, D.C.'s district court has handed down blistering rulings describing the efforts to target law firms as blatantly unconstitutional.

After fudging his long-standing, self-imposed July Fourth deadline for Congress to pass his massive immigration and tax bill, Trump doubled down on the date in a social media post.

"The Great Republicans in the U.S. Senate are working all weekend to finish our 'ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,'" he wrote on his social media platform.

"The House of Representatives must be ready to send it to my desk before July 4th -- We can get it done," the president added. "It will be a wonderful Celebration for our Country, which is right now, 'The Hottest Country anywhere in the World' -- And to think, just last year, we were a laughingstock. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

The post came just after he made a rare appearance in the White House briefing room, where he said the Fourth of July deadline was important but was "not the end all."

"It can go longer, but we'd like to get it done by that time if possible," he said.

Trump wrote on his social media platform Friday afternoon that he is terminating all discussions on trade with Canada immediately.

Trump said he came to the decision after learning Canada announced they are putting a digital service tax on U.S. technology companies, which he calls a "direct and blatant attack" on the U.S.

"They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us," he claimed.

Trump also wrote that the White House will let Canada know the tariff they'll be paying in the next seven days.

The White House didn't immediately comment.
