U.S. President Donald Trump declared that "now, after we made peace, the time has come to finish the job here at home and pass the 'Big Beautiful Bill'" - a budget proposal that was approved in the House of Representatives and needs final approval in the Senate. Trump called on senators to "close the deal this week. Lock yourselves in a room if necessary." At the same time, he attacked Republican Senator Thomas Massie, who announced he would oppose the bill, and prominent Democratic lawmakers, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whom he called "one of the stupidest in Congress," and senior Senator Chuck Schumer: "Crying Chuck, our Palestinian senator."
