House GOP moves to block DC from stopping Trump tax cuts for tipped, overtime workers

The House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday aimed at stopping the Washington, D.C. local government from blocking parts of President Donald Trump's new tax law.

D.C.'s progressive city council passed a local measure to stop certain parts of Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" from going into effect due to their expected effect of cutting city revenues. 

Policies that would have been blocked include Trump's elimination of taxes on tipped and overtime wages, as well as certain tax cuts aimed at businesses.
