Show Notes

This is "Arkies in the Beltway" for the week of July 6, 2025! I'm Alex Thomas, Washington Correspondent for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, with your look at national politics and the Arkansans influencing the discussions.

Members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives were supposed to be spending the week of July 4 away from Capitol Hill, but lawmakers were instead in Washington, D.C., to consider congressional Republicans' tax and spending package.

The Senate and House passed the "one big, beautiful bill," which President Donald Trump signed into law last Friday.

All six members of the Arkansas congressional delegation supported the measure.
