By and Erik Wasson

Senate Republicans plan to modify President Donald Trump's massive fiscal package to lower maximum deductions for state and local taxes and limit the impact of a 'revenge' tax on foreign investors.
Senate GOP leaders also plan to cut deeper into Medicaid health insurance for the poor and disabled than House Republicans did in their version of the legislation to help pay for Trump's tax cuts.

Burchett says he's ‘probably' a no on Trump bill if it means ‘more deficit spending'
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said in a Monday interview that he would 'probably' vote against President Trump's tax agenda if it means more deficit spending. In an interview on NewsNation's 'The Hill,' Chris Stirewalt asked the congressman — who voted reluctantly for the bill when it passed the House last month — whether he thinks he will be able to 'get to a yes on what comes back from the Senate,' noting indications so far suggest, 'this legislation is not moving in your direction.' 'If it's more deficit spending, then probably not. I think we need to really take that serious,' Burchett told Stirewalt. The Senate Finance Committee on Monday released its long-awaited version of the 'big, beautiful bill,' which includes provisions to make the 2017 corporate tax cuts permanent, cut hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicaid spending and phase out renewable-energy tax cuts enacted under President Biden. The Senate version includes several changes to the House-passed version, including a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion instead of the $4 trillion increase adopted by House Republicans. Burchett, in the interview, suggested that the legislation 'would slow the rate of growth,' adding, 'but it's still growing.' 'I would hope we can slow it to zero and go the opposite direction at some point. America's got to take this serious, or we're going to become a third world country,' he added. The House-passed bill would cut spending by $1.6 trillion over ten years but, according to the Congressional Budget Office, add $2.4 trillion to the federal deficit.

Colorado suspends access to state election site to remove some information after Minnesota shootings
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold closed off access to the state's online election database, known as "TRACER," over the weekend, amid concerns about publicly available private information about politicians in the aftermath of the politically-motivated shootings and killings in Minnesota. "Addresses and other personal information is on TRACER," Griswold said. "The reason it's on there is for public transparency. There is the ability for elected officials and candidates to request that their addresses are redacted, and so we wanted to give folks enough time to do that, and temporarily took TRACER down." The site is where political candidates post their information to comply with election finance requirements, among other information. The site Monday carried the message, "Down for maintenance," which Griswold pointed out, does happen from time to time. After a few seconds on the error message, the website redirects you to another elections landing page on the Colorado Secretary of State's Office's website. TRACER, Colorado's online elections database, was taken down by the Colorado Secretary of State's Office as election officials and elected officials review private information on the site after the politically-motivated killing of a state representative and her husband and the shooting of a state senator and his wife in Minnesota. CBS She said she had talked with legislative leadership and other statewide elected leaders about the existence of the information on the public database. "Out of abundance of caution, we wanted to make sure that officials had the ability to think about whether they wanted their addresses redacted," Griswold said. There are many places where people's private information can be potentially obtained online, but Griswold said the killing of a state representative and her husband and the shooting of a state senator and his wife in Minnesota made the review timely. Griswold herself has been the subject of repeated threats, particularly following the 2020 elections. Four people have been convicted of charges related to making threats directed at her. "It's coming from the real facts that elected officials are under increased threats. I myself received, just in 2024, over 1,800 death threats or physical threats. It is scary, and I think we have to take that as a fact of where this country is right now," she said. "And for me, weighing the choices of the safety of elected officials, Republicans and Democrats, and a brief outage of Tracer, that the choice was very clear." Griswold said she had asked lawmakers if they wanted information like home addresses, which is not required, to be removed. The process of redacting information was taking time, and she said the site would likely remain down, but for a period of days, not weeks.
