President Donald Trump’s second-term success rests in large part on signing his megabill as soon as possible. He’s acting accordingly. At the heart of Trump’s ugly row with former right-hand man Elon Musk is the Tesla CEO’s public lambasting of the “big, beautiful” legislation. Beyond that, the president is laboring behind the scenes to quell dissent while publicly lobbying GOP senators in meetings, gaggles and his social media feed, even amidst the battle with Musk.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., is pushing to add language to her party’s tax-and-spending bill that would revamp how the US taxes cryptocurrency.
