House Republicans stayed up all night to pass their multitrillion-dollar tax breaks package. Speaker Mike Johnson defied the skeptics within his ranks and muscled President Donald Trump’s priority bill to approval Thursday. Last-minute concessions and a stern warning from Trump appeared to win over the hold outs to salvage what he calls the “big, beautiful bill.” The outcome caps an intense time on Capitol Hill, with days of private negotiations and public committee hearings. Democrats, without the votes to stop Trump’s package, tried to stall it. The Congressional Budget Office says the tax provisions would add $3.8 trillion to federal deficits.
President Trump hosted the leader of South Africa in the White House. The media lost their collective minds over Trump’s comments during the meeting. See more on Salem News Channel.
Government vaccine advisers are meeting to decide if the recipe for COVID-19 vaccines needs updating for this fall and winter. The meeting comes even as a new Trump administration policy has thrown into question whether healthy people younger than 65 will still qualify for a shot — or if vaccines will be limited to seniors and people at high risk from infection. Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration will debate if the virus has mutated enough since last winter to require a tweak to the formula. Thursday’s meeting is the group’s first since President Donald Trump took office in January.
Iran’s top diplomat has warned that his country would take “special measures” to defend its nuclear facilities if Israel continues to threaten them, raising the stakes further ahead of a new round of talks with the United States. The comments Thursday by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi offered no specifics on what Tehran would do, but already, international inspectors have seen their access limited to Iran’s program. That’s even as Tehran enriches uranium to 60% purity, a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. The U.S. and Iran are due to meet Friday in Rome.
