House Republicans work through the night on Trump’s tax cut bill

Republicans in the House of Representatives direct Edward Huber this week trying to pass the “beautiful draft law” of President Trump.

Hopper is famous for “Nighthawks”, and is one of the most famous paintings in American history. The painting in 1942 depicts four people at dinner in the middle of the night. Deserted street orders in the foreground. Two men – heads filled with Fedoras – sits separately on the table, and coffee disease. One of the men has a cigarette tucked between his index and middle fingers. He is in a place next to a woman with crimson hair and a red dress. It appears to carry a bite of cakes or sandwich, and study it as if it was a rare artifact. It seems that it discusses if it should eat it. One of the young meters – which wears white clothes with a clear envelope hat – tends down in search of glass utensils or hidden dishes under it.

It is the death of the night. Everyone is far and separate. Even the couple-although they sit side by side-do not look at each other.

In Nighthawks, everyone appears as if they were just trying to reach at night until dawn.

It is a kind of what Republicans in the House of Representatives are going through this week.

“Dead of Night”: Democrats accuse the Republican Party of cheese on my voice late at night on the “big and beautiful” budget bill for Trump

The House of Representatives budget committee was held at 10:26 pm East time on Sunday night to develop a package of tax reduction and reduce spending after hiping on Friday afternoon. At 10:39 pm EST, the committee approved the draft law 17-16-where four Republicans in the House of Representatives voted “present”.

The next station is the Parliamentary Parliamentary Bases Committee, the final parliamentary road station before depositing legislation on the ground.

At 12:31 am US EST on Monday, the rules committee announced that it would work to prepare the draft land law – with a meeting at 1 am on Wednesday. This session can continue throughout the day Wednesday. literally. The Energy and Trade Committee met for 26 consecutive hours last week to prepare its section of the budget settlement scale. The roads and means are gathered throughout the night.

A group of Republicans in the House of Representatives who are paid to the state and the local tax of the high -tax states (known as Salt) set a meeting with parliament Speaker Mike Johnson, R. -La. , 9 pm East time. It is completely possible to discuss the House of Representatives or even vote on the procedure late Thursday or the first hours of Friday morning or until Friday night.

This is the way Capitol Hill rolls when there is major legislation around the clock. The hours are late. Long meetings. Legionships collect different sessions whenever they need it – just to get the measure via the finish line.

The only difference between Congress halls now and “Nighthawks” is that coffee nourishes shapes in the plate until dawn. It was 1942. But this is in 2025. Edward Hopper did not know anything about Celsius or Red Bull.

There is an actual parliamentary reason for a reason that the budget committee met late Sunday night after stumbling on Friday afternoon. There is a method of the rules committee at 1 am on Wednesday.

Let’s go back.

The Budget Committee tried to mix the various provisions of nearly ten committees of the House of Representatives to a unified legislative product in mid -Friday. This effort came short. A total of five republics of the Budget Committee. You have stumbled on spending discounts, tax credits for green energy and the time frame for work requirements for those in Medicaid.

Four of the five Republican Party has really opposed. Representative Lloyd Sucker, R. Pence, Voice so that he can request a re -voting. The rules allow a member on the winning side of the case (in this case, nays), to request another vote later. Support SMUCKER Plan. But he then transferred his vote to Nay to be on the winning side. That binds the re -voting possible.

Republicans are ready late at night on the “Trump Grand Great Bill” after the Republican party rebellion

“The summons of the vote leads to progress forward. I think it is an incentive.”

Then the Budget Committee announced that it will be held at 10 pm East time on Sunday.

This is where things become interesting:

The key here was for the budget committee to finish its work before midnight on Friday. Once you roll, the process will consume only 15 or 20 minutes. The Budget Committee agreed to the plan 17-16 with the vote of four “present” Republicans.

Representative Ralph Norman said, RS.C. And that was one of the Jobs who voted on Friday, “We are excited about what we did.”

But Norman was still not enthusiastic enough to vote yes Sunday night. The voice of the present.

“There is a lot that we have to do to curb the government, costs and impotence,” Norman said at Fox Business on Monday.

But regardless of, the procedure was outside the budget committee before the day of magicians on Sunday. Then the announcement of the rules committee – immediately after midnight Monday – came around a session at 1 am on Wednesday to facilitate the “beautiful big bill” in the house hall.

There are several reasons for the House of Representatives Rules Committee, Republicans decided to wander at 1:00 a.m. East time on Wednesday. Let’s start with parliament.

Republicans in the House of Representatives face Dem attacks, protests to attract All-Nights on “a large and beautiful bill for Trump”

The budget committee concluded just before midnight on Sunday. Democrats allow two full days to present their papers and their views after the meeting. Therefore, they had a day and throughout Tuesday. The rules committee needs an “hour” to announce its meeting officially. Therefore, the “official” announcement will be released on the meeting of the rules committee on Wednesday after 12:01:01 am on Wednesday. This leads to a meeting at 1 am on Wednesday.

Here are the other practical reasons.

Republicans need every time they can get it. There is an talk about trying to vote on the ground late in Wednesday. We’ll see that. But the time of the early rules meeting makes this a possibility.

Second, it is possible for a meeting of the rules committee on the entire calendar on Wednesday. The lawmakers from both sides will request the rules committee to propose various amendments. This is a long process.

But in the same manner, the meeting may reduce at 1 am Eastern time from attendance. After all, who wants to appear at one o’clock in the morning for the meeting and may discuss your amendment at 6:30 in the morning? You get the idea.

Once the draft law comes out of the Rules Committee, he signed meetings late at night between the Republicans, as they are trying to close the deal. The House of Representatives can vote at any time from today, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, to pass the bill. This can be late in the evening. Or even overnight. They will vote when the bill is ready, regardless of time around the clock.

This is the piece that was drawn this week by Republicans in the House of Representatives for the “Beautiful Grand Law”. They may have votes. Maybe they will not. Perhaps they will pass more discounts in spending. Perhaps there will be a deal on salt for government taxes and local taxes. Maybe not. The vote may come at three in the afternoon. But most likely, at some time late at night.
