#ETH Elon Musk has threatened to take out every Republican lawmaker who supports his former best friend President Donald Trump’s new tax and spending bill: This warning was issued just hours before the Senate began voting on Trump’s bill, a 940-page legislative monster that would raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion and cut deeply into federal aid programs.

According to the Associated Press, the Senate began voting on Monday using a method called “vote-a-rama” — a nonstop amendment process that lets any senator offer any number of changes. The goal is to wrap up the process fast and get the bill passed before Trump’s July 4 deadline.

The bill already cleared a key hurdle Saturday night with a narrow 51-49 vote, but final passage isn’t guaranteed. Republicans need 50 of their 53 senators to stay united, and a few have already jumped ship.

Senator Susan Collins from Maine said she’s “leaning against” the final vote even though she voted to advance the bill on Saturday. Susan wants higher taxes on wealthy Americans, not cuts to Medicaid. Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska also helped push the bill forward but raised similar concerns about health care cuts. The GOP leadership is under pressure to make it work before the July 4 deadline set by Trump, now in his second term in the White House.

Bill boosts military, cuts benefits, and sparks more backlash: $The bill also cuts taxes on tips and overtime pay, adds $150 billion in military funding, and pumps new money into Trump’s immigration and deportation operations. To cover those costs, it slashes Medicaid, food stamps, and clean energy funds. $BTC
