While senators slog through their vote-a-rama, House Republicans are frantically trying to squeeze some final changes into the Senate's "big, beautiful bill," Axios' Kate Santaliz and Justin Green report.

  • The Senate is trying to jam the House to accept its version, with a final floor vote expected tonight. There isn't time for a House-Senate conference before President Trump's July 4 deadline.
  • But House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) opened the door last week to blowing past that deadline, saying some Senate provisions could force the House to make revisions.
