For journalists following me, the House came in at $3.798 trillion in cost, and the Senate came in at “only” $441 billion of cost.
But the Senate told JCT to pretend that $3.760 trillion was free.
On an apples-to-apples basis, the Senate costs $4.201 trillion, $403 billion more.

Cost estimate of Senate tax cuts is out!
On an apples-to-apples basis, the Senate GOP tax bill costs $4.2 trillion, $403 bn more than the House.
However, the Senate has fewer (still some) "temporary" measures.
Take that into account, and it's more expensive, but the House is EVEN more expensive.

Opinion: Minnesota Legislature should not kill community solar
With rising electric bills, a shaky economy and no help from the feds on climate or affordability, we ought to be expanding community solar rather than seeking to end it.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.
That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.
