Overview

• Sen. John Fetterman told reporters he’d rather be at the beach than stay for late-night votes and confirmed he would cast a no vote on the reconciliation bill.
• His remarks drew swift criticism on social media and from fellow Democrats such as Nina Turner and activist Aru Shiney-Ajay, who deemed the comment insensitive to constituents facing healthcare losses.
• Senate Republicans have spent days revising the 940-page “One Big Beautiful Bill” to comply with parliamentarian rulings and opened a vote-a-rama on amendments starting June 28.
• Despite unified Democratic opposition, GOP leaders are pushing for the final Senate vote later Monday to meet President Trump’s July 4 deadline before the bill returns to the House.
• A Congressional Budget Office report warns the measure would add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over a decade and slash over $1.1 trillion from Medicaid and the ACA, risking coverage for 16 million people.
