Monday evening, senators were still stuck in a marathon voting session as Republicans worked feverishly to weather Democrat opposition, sway holdouts, and ultimately pass the Big, Beautiful Bill through the upper chamber.

From The Hill:
The Senate is more than seven hours into a vote-a-rama on the massive GOP policy legislation dubbed the “big, beautiful bill” after a marathon weekend of adjusting legislation to fit parliamentarian rulings and appease particular senators.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is looking to nail down the support of several Republican senators, including at least two moderates and three conservatives, who haven’t yet said they will vote for final passage.
On the Senate floor, Democrats are at the heart of the action as they try to change the mammoth bill that champions President Trump’s agenda — or at least force Republicans to take tough votes.
As debate continues, Democrats have already suffered some losses. The Hill reports that senators voted along party to score President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts as “deficit neutral,” meaning they can be passed by a simple majority instead of the usual 60 votes.
That doesn’t mean, however, that Republicans are necessarily winning. Holdouts on both the moderate and conservative sides are stretching Majority Leader Thune to his limit. The House, meanwhile, seems displeased with what the bill has become.
In an article published at The Hill, one anonymous representative said that “no one is happy with the Senate version [of the bill].” 6 moderate Republicans have reportedly vowed to vote no on the bill when it returns to the House.
All of this calls into question Republicans’ ability to pass the Bill by July 4, a deadline set earlier this year by the President. Only time will tell if lawmakers are able to make it.
For now, let’s continue to pray. Let’s pray that lawmakers are able to craft and pass legislation that honors God and blesses Americans!

Lord Jesus, You alone know the future. I pray that everything that is contained in the BBB will be in line with all that is consistent with Your will. I pray that you will give guidance and wisdom to everyone involved in shaping this legislation. May the end result be in accordance with Your will for America for such a time as this Thank you Jesus.
Father God, In the mighty Name of Your Son Jesus and the Power of Your Holy Spirit, I am asking that You open the minds of all in the Senate and the House of representatives, Both Republican and Democrat parties seek Your will in all these matters that are before them.
Father many of us are being taxed beyond our means and we have not seen the end. Our children are suffering because the parents have to work two or three jobs to make ends meet. They live in homes that need repairs and are unable to keep them up. They continually want our chikdren to be inindated with all kinds of sexual perversions. Thank Your Lord for what has already been acompolished and we know that You will help our government and the people of this U.S. A. to make right decisions.
We pray for this Nation and the Nations around the world to come close to You and hear Your voice and repent and turn from their wicked evil ways 2 Chronicles 7:14.
Father God, we believe in Miracles and by Your Holy Spirit and the Ministering angels that You send out to Those who will receive and believe. Hebrews 1:14. In Jesus Mighty Name Amen.
I believe that the BBB is just the beginning of other bills to follow. That will benefit the USA and by extension, the nations. I believe God’s master plan is being fully carried out and this BBB is part of His will for all of us at this time. Restoring what the Locusts has eaten( Joel 2:25).
