Republicans push Trump tax cuts, border security funding in spending bill

The House engaged in debate over President Trump's tax and spending bill, with Republicans emphasizing its benefits, such as tax relief and border security, while some expressed concerns about increased deficits and cuts to social programs. Democrats criticized the bill's impact on struggling families and aimed to sway Republican holdouts. The Senate-passed bill, which extends 2017 tax cuts and alters funding for Medicaid and food stamps, must pass unchanged in the House to meet a July 4 deadline. Meanwhile, a federal judge blocked the administration's asylum seeker crackdown.
