It's the moment we've been waiting on (forever, it seems). After a hard-fought procedural vote on Saturday and then an all-day-all-night marathon vote-a-rama session starting Monday, the Senate finally took a vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill late morning on Tuesday.
In a 51-50 vote, the measure passed. Vice President JD Vance was on hand to break the tie.

Why the One Big Beautiful Bill Must Pass—Despite Its Ugly Parts
RedState's Joe Cunningham explained the importance of the OBBB's passage thusly:
Despite these legitimate concerns, the alternative is worse. The Tax Foundation analysis shows that extending the TCJA would increase long-run GDP by 1.1 percent and raise wages for American workers. The bill would prevent tax increases on 62 percent of taxpayers that would otherwise occur.
This isn't just about numbers on a spreadsheet. It's about families gaining up to $13,300 more in take-home pay and workers seeing wage increases of more than $11,000. It's about giving American families breathing room in an economy that's still recovering from years of government-induced inflation.
The bill also includes $175 billion for immigration and border enforcement and increases the military budget by $150 billion. For a conservative, those are priorities worth supporting, even if the overall package isn't perfect.
So, what's next? The measure will head back to the House. As Becca Lower noted:
In a conference call Saturday, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reportedly reassured members that he has been helping Senate Republicans shepherd the bill to make it more closely match the bill the House had passed. There will be some bumps in the road, of course.
He also had a caution for them, also with "a promise":
Johnson also [sic] members to bring any remaining concerns directly to their GOP senators and to the White House — and to not air those grievances in public. House GOP leadership said they would stick with a promise to give members 48 hours notice of a vote so that lawmakers have adequate time to return to Washington.
While it's likely there will be some wrinkles that remain to be smoothed out there, GOP leadership in the House remains sanguine:
GOP Conf Chair McClain on Fox: We are in lockstep. And Leader Johnson and Leader Thune, along with the rest of the leadership teams and the House and and the Senate, have really been working hand-in-glove to talk to each other about what is palatable, what isn't palatable, what…

GOP Conf Chair McClain on Fox: We are in lockstep. And Leader Johnson and Leader Thune, along with the rest of the leadership teams and the House and and the Senate, have really been working hand-in-glove to talk to each other about what is palatable, what isn't palatable, what our redlines, it really has been a coordinated, interactive process, which is very different than I've seen before. And people are really trying to work together, which I think is rather refreshing for a change.
This is a developing story. RedState will have additional coverage as warranted.
