<h1>Senate Republicans Begin Work on Tax Cuts Package with Border Security Funding After House Advances Similar Framework</h1> Senate Republicans have initiated work on their version of President Trump's tax breaks and spending cuts package following House Republicans' advancement of their framework. The 52-48 vote begins a process expected to involve extended debates. The Senate package aims to make Trump's first-term tax cuts permanent and includes $175 billion for border security. While House Republicans approved $4.5 trillion in tax breaks with up to $2 trillion in spending cuts, Senate Republicans are taking a different approach to offsetting costs. Democrats oppose the plan, arguing it prioritizes tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of essential programs. The process coincides with market volatility following Trump's tariff announcements.
