The US Capitol at evening twilight in Washington, DC, on April 4, 2025. US senators were set to vote April 4 on unlocking trillions of dollars for sweeping tax cuts promised by President Donald Trump, despite bitter infighting among the majority Republicans over the savings that will be needed to fund them.<br />
Senators were locked in an all-night session to vote on dozens of proposed tweaks to the plan — some of which were aimed at forcing Republicans onto the record over Trump’s tariffs on imports from countries around the world.<br />

If the plan gets through the Senate, it will still need approval by the House, with Republican leaders desperate to get it to Trump’s desk before Congress begins a two-week Easter break next Friday. (Photo by Drew ANGERER / AFP) (Photo by DREW ANGERER/AFP via Getty Images)
