Markup hearings for President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” dragged late through the night Tuesday into Wednesday as House lawmakers debated how deep to cut government spending in the massive piece of legislation.   The details the three House committees – Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce and Agriculture – sought to iron out include some of the bill’s most continuous aspects – including a dramatic Medicaid overhaul, reforms to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and how to handle state and local tax (SALT) deductions.   The hearings also brought a group of protesters to DC.
