What are the key provisions of the Republican tax and spending cut bill being voted on today?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingley. On Capitol Hill, the House is expected to vote this morning on the Republican tax and spending cut bill. Lawmakers are debating the legislation which narrowly cleared the Senate after Vice President Vance cast the tiebreaking vote. Републикін конгресмен Ток of California says congressional passage of the GOP bill will mean
lower taxes, lighter regulations, a secure border. More frugal spending and a war on waste.
The bill extends tax cuts passed during President Trump's first term in the White House and increases funding for border security and national defense.
The Congressional Budget Office says the package will add $3.3 trillion to the national debt. over ten years. A federal judge says the Trump administration does not have the authority to turn away asylum seekers at the U.S. Southern border. Here's NPR's Jasmine Garst.
The proclamation to deny entry to asylum seekers at the southern border was issued by President Trump on his first day in office.
How did the federal judge rule on the Trump administration’s authority to turn away asylum seekers?
A lawsuit sought to halt the policy on behalf of more than a dozen people who had been detained or removed from the U.S. without their asylum claims being addressed. Lawyers said some of their clients were fleeing government torture in their home countries. In his ruling, Judge Randolph D. Moss said the president. Does not have the power to create an alternative immigration system. The ruling will take effect in two weeks in order to give the Trump administration time to appeal. Jasmine Garst, NPR News, New York.
A judge in New York City is denying bail to hip hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs after jurors delivered a split verdict in his trial. Combs was acquitted of the most serious counts sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. He was convicted on lesser charges related to prostitution. Samantha Max with member station WNYC reports from Harlem.
It was business as usual here after a jury convicted Combs on two counts and acquitted him of more serious charges. Vendors sold clothing, ambulance sirens blared, and commuters waited for the bus. Sam Stigger says combs means nothing to the local community. Did you see any signs? Anybody celebrating? Anybody say Go Diddy? Cause it's wrong. Prosecutors have accused Combs of creating a criminal enterprise to abuse women. Outside the famed Apollo Theatre, Denver Williams says the verdict is disheartening. I
I wouldn't know how to feel if I was those victims.
What were the outcomes of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial and how is the community reacting?
Combs has denied breaking the law. He faces up to twenty years in prison. For NPR News, I'm Samantha Max in New York.
This is NPR News from Washington. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash of a skydiving plane in southern New Jersey with fifteen people aboard. Nobody was killed, but authorities say the injuries of those on the flight ranged from minor to critical. The pilot of the single engine Cessna reported having engine trouble shortly after takeoff from Cross Keys Airport and tried to make it back to the runway. The plane ended up in some trees during the attempted landing. The airport is about twenty miles southeast of Philadelphia. In Major League Baseball, Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers is now the twentieth pitcher in league history to record three thousand career strikeouts.
As Steve Flutterman reports, Kershaw reached that milestone last night in the Dodgers' 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox.
Entering Wednesday night's game against the Chicago White Sox, Clayton Kershaw needed just three strikeouts to reach the magic 3,000 mark. In the sixth inning, he did it. One-two pitch.
Strike three card! There it is! Strikeout number 3,000 for Clayton Kershaw. History at Dodger Stadium!
Look home on the Dodger Radio Network. Kershaw is the first pitcher to achieve the historic feat since 2021 when Max Scherzer, also pitching for the Dodgers, recorded his 3,000th strikeout. Kershaw is 37 and has faced major injuries in recent years. 3,000 strikeouts is a virtual guarantee of eventual entry into the Hall of Fame. For MPR News, I'm Steve Federman in Los Angeles.
