US President Donald Trump and congressional republicans have pushed for the One Bill Beautiful Bill Act to be passed by July 4th. Will this occur?
This resolves "yes" if it is signed into law by July 4th 11:59PM in Washington DC. This will be resolved from a combination of the linked Wikipedia page (ignoring temporary vandalism), and the congress.gov HR.1 page (which currently might be out of date). Any amendments are allowed as long as the wikipedia page still resolves to an article on passed legislation. I will not bet in this market.
Trump's schedule today:

It seems like there's a whole ceremony for this. I was holding out on Musk wringing out some last minute political capital play in opposition to the bill's EV car stuff, but I'm starting to lose faith in that happening.
Maybe I'll start pumping more into NO if the ceremony ends without a signature.
@Quroe
So at white house 12:45 to 21:45 and ceremony planned for after 16:00 So the schedule does not prevent expected signing ceremony? Or did you reach a different conclusion?

@ChristopherRandles I think I read it as he signs the bill at some point between 12:50pm and 5pm. If it's not signed in that time frame, I'd probably start railing off NO orders more aggressively.
@ChristopherRandles Wait, I'm reading things wrong. The items aren't in chronological order, and the AM and PM signs are screwing with me... Hm...
@MartinSundhaug I'm getting all turned around by it yeah. Okay, so it's actually chronological from top to bottom, first to last.
5pm still looks like the cutoff. I think Trump wants the pageantry of signing his pet bill and will try to make a big show of it, more so than normal legislation.
He wants to do it during the picnic with a freaking jet flyover. https://youtu.be/NWBL7MCbj0g?si=F7rcNPwNxz5e20kt
@Traveel Trump will thank the people pushing his agenda for their good job and they will literally address him as Daddy. Only vetos if he has a vision of an even worse bill to pass

I don't really understand, is sleep deprivation torture an acceptable tactic nowadays for wrangling votes? They can just hold it open forever? I have never seen such an absurd spectacle play out on the House floor.
Presumably because the house vote has been going all night. I was wondering if you take the same issue with Jefferies' speech (from 4:52 a.m. for eight + hours)
@FergusArgyll If this is a serious question, then no I don't consider a "magic minute" floor speech whose length is finitely constrained by the biological limits of one man with just indefinitely holding the House hostage to meet a completely artificial deadline.
