Top House Republicans send stern warning to Senate GOP as Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' risks delay
Print Close By Elizabeth Elkind Published June 27, 2025 FIRST ON FOX: Top House Republicans are warning the Senate to proceed carefully with any possible changes to President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill." "We in the House don't want to see this changed too much. Of course, they're going to put their mark on it, and they're going to shape it and hopefully make it better, But, yeah, it just can't change materially too much for us to have to thread that needle again," said Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas. He hosted House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, on an episode of the RSC's podcast, "Right To The Point," an early copy of which was obtained by Fox News Digital. Arrington told Pfluger, "The reality is, we struck a very difficult and very, very delicate balance in the House that could be disrupted on any number of policy fronts, if the Senate were to go too far." 148 DEMOCRATS BACK NONCITIZEN VOTING IN DC AS GOP RAISES ALARM ABOUT FOREIGN AGENTS The RSC is a 189-strong member group in the House GOP that acts as the conference's de facto conservative think tank. Arrington's committee, meanwhile, plays a central role in the budget reconciliation process – which is what Republicans are using to pass Trump's agenda on tax, immigration, energy, defense, and the national debt in one massive bill. It's notable that they used the RSC's weekly podcast to send a pointed message to their colleagues in the Senate, which comes as lawmakers there wrestle with key issues in the House's version of the bill. Senate Republicans still have to deal with unresolved questions on Medicaid and state and local tax (SALT) deductions, among other items. REPUBLICANS CHALLENGE 'IRRELEVANT' BUDGET OFFICE AS IT CRITIQUES TRUMP'S 'BEAUTIFUL BILL' Senate GOP leaders have said their changes to the bill are critical in order for it to survive their razor-thin majority of three seats – the same margin as the House holds. The House passed its version of the bill by just one vote in late May. Now, different House GOP factions are warning that they will not accept the Senate's proposed changes on a number of key issues. "If you and I had the pen, and it was just between two West Texans, I know there are deeper, deeper fiscal reforms that would bend the curve even more dramatically on our spending and debt to GDP. But we have other members that we have to negotiate with," Arrington said. "So yes, make it as good as you can make in terms of improvements, but there is a point at which you will, instead of bend, you will break the delicate balance, and you will imperil the most important and most consequential bill – with the greatest set of conservative reforms in my lifetime, if not 100 years." When reached for comment on Arrington's remark, Senate Majority Leader John Thune's office pointed Fox News Digital to the South Dakota Republican's appearance on the Hugh Hewitt show Wednesday. "I met with [House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.] yesterday, and we've talked several times today already, just checking in on various aspects of the Senate bill and, you know, what the prospects are when it gets to the House," Thune said. "So there's been a lot of coordination from the very beginning about this and that, you know, continues to this day, which is why we continue to stay in close contact." Johnson, Thune and the White House have been in near-constant communication, hammering out details big and small in the bill. Pfluger said he was still "hopeful," however, about Republicans' self-imposed July 4 deadline.

Johnson told reporters on Friday that it was "possible" that the deadline could slip, but said he "doesn't want to accept that as an option right now."

A Play About a Breakdown Was a 2000 Hit. What Do Audiences Say Today?
When the British playwright Sarah Kane died by suicide in 1999, at age 28, she left behind the manuscript for an unperformed work. 'Just remember, writing it killed me,' Kane wrote in an accompanying note, according to Mel Kenyon, the playwright's long-term agent. Just over a year later, when the Royal Court Theater in London premiered the piece — a one-act play called '4:48 Psychosis' that puts the audience inside the mind of somebody having a breakdown — it received rave reviews. Writing in The New York Times, the critic Matt Wolf said it was 'arguably Kane's best play' and compared it to the work of Samuel Beckett. Yet despite the praise, a question hung over the production: Was it possible to honestly critique a play about depression so soon after Kane's tragic death? The headline on an article by the Guardian theater critic Michael Billington suggested a challenge: 'How Do You Judge a 75-Minute Suicide Note?' Now, 25 years later, theatergoers are getting a chance to look at the original production of '4:48 Psychosis' afresh, and see if passing time brings a change in perspective. The show's cast and creative team is reviving the production at the Royal Court, where it runs through July 5, before transferring to the Royal Shakespeare Company's Other Place Theater in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, where it will run from July 10-27. This time around, critical reception has been mixed. Dominic Cavendish, writing in The Daily Telegraph, praised the production and said the play 'still feels raw,' but Clive Davis, in The Times of London, argued that ''4:48 Psychosis' isn't a play at all, rather the random agonized reflections of a mind that has passed beyond breaking point.'

Seán O'Connor: Shelbourne keep calm and carry on to earn a point as post-Damien Duff era begins
Waterford 2 Shelbourne 2 It's almost three years since Damien Duff left the RSC after guiding his Shelbourne side to a first FAI Cup final in 11 years, via a memorable 1-0 win over Waterford. 'It absolutely blows away anything I've ever done in my career,' he said at the time – nearing the end of his first season in charge – but of course that proved just a taste of what was to come as European qualification and, of course, their stunning 2024 title triumph would soon follow. The type of days the Shels faithful were dreaming of for so long.
