Congressman Lloyd Doggett and fellow US Democrats address a rally and press conference to announce their opposition to a Republican plan to cut Medicaid AFP Republicans geared up Tuesday for a series of crucial votes on Donald Trump's domestic policy mega-bill, with rows over spending threatening to unravel the US president's plans for sweeping tax cuts. Three key House committees are slated to finalize and vote on their portions of Trump's much-touted "big, beautiful" bill, led by a roughly $5 trillion extension of his 2017 tax relief. Republicans are weighing partially covering the cost with deep cuts to the Medicaid health insurance program that benefits more than 70 million low-income people.
