Republicans and Democrats grew weary in the early hours of Wednesday morning on Capitol Hill as they slogged through at-times contentious debate over provisions in President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending cuts package.

Capitol police took 26 people into custody for illegally demonstrating outside the budget hearing on charges of crowding, obstructing and incommoding.

Markup hearings for President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” dragged late through the night Tuesday into Wednesday as House lawmakers debated how deep to cut government spending in the massive piece of legislation.

Two members of Congress from Colorado will play a pivotal role in deciding the fate of Medicaid, a program that provides health care for one in five Coloradans.

The vote came after an all-night debate that saw at least one lawmaker fall asleep at his post. Republicans rejected a series of proposed changes by opposition Democrats, who blasted the bill as a wasteful giveaway to the wealthy that would shred health and food benefits for the poor and worsen the nation's financial standing.

Tensions rose and emotions flared as the hours dragged on into early Wednesday morning. House Republicans are working to push President Donald Trump’s signature legislative package through a gauntlet of committees and mounting opposition from Democrats, advocacy groups and even some wary Republicans themselves.
