The House Rules Committee convened on Tuesday afternoon to markup the Senate version of Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill. The markup is expected to last for hours.
“H.R.1 has returned to the people’s House with final consideration,” Rules Committee Chair Virginia Foxx said as she kicked off the markup. “And while I don’t often think that the other body improves our legislation, it’s important to recognize that much of what the House included in H.R.1 when we initially passed, it is still included.”

“A failure to pass this legislation, carries with it, serious negative implications, not only for hardworking taxpayers, but also the nation,” Foxx added.
Rules Committee ranking member Jim McGovern, a Democrat, said if the “ugly bill” passes in the House, “it’s going to get a lot uglier when people realize what’s in it, and not even Donald Trump’s new $300 bottle of cologne will cover the stench.”
“We are here today on a bill that just dropped from the Senate hot off the press, passed only an hour ago,” McGovern said. “It’s massive here. It is nearly 1,000 pages long, and I’ve got to ask: Have any of you read it this time? Because last time we met on this legislation, many of our Republican colleagues had not.”
