Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill': In a late-night post on social media, Trump declared a 'GREAT VICTORY' after the bill cleared the Senate
Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill': Senate Republicans took a major step toward delivering President Donald Trump his ' big, beautiful bill" late Saturday. The bill cleared a key procedural vote, 51-49. Republican leaders must now satisfy numerous holdouts still demanding changes to the bill.
In a late-night post on social media, Trump declared a 'GREAT VICTORY" after the bill cleared the Senate, offering praise to four key senators who shifted their votes to get the procedural bill over the finish line. Tech billionaire Elon Musk, however, doubled down on his criticism of the White House's 'Big Beautiful Bill", calling it 'utterly insane" and 'political suicide".
The Senate must agree on a final version of the bill before sending it to the floor for a vote. The BBC report said that as it is likely to include some of the changes to the original House bill, it will return to the House for another vote where it may see more challenges.

US Stock Market outlook: S&P 500, Dow Jones, Nasdaq to fall or continue to rise on Monday?
US stock market indexes -- S&P 500, Dow Jones , and Nasdaq -- will look to continue the positive momentum on Monday. Recent history has shown July has been a strong month for stocks, with the S&P 500 increasing 2.9 per cent in July on average over the past 15 years, Wedbush analysts noted in a report this week. Overall, measures of market volatility are now well below where they stood at the height of the tariff turmoil in April, with the CBOE VIX index now at 16.3, down from a 52.3 peak on April 8. The stock market has powered through all of that in the past few months to set a new record on Friday and reward investors who stayed their ground through a volatile stretch. The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high of 6,173. For now, at least, stocks are willing to overlook the risks that go along with this style and lack of consistent policies, and give the administration a break as being market friendly, said Steve Sosnick, market strategist at Interactive Brokers.

'As if people like Mahatma Gandhi...': Republican leader says Zohran Mamdani has no idea how cops work
Zohran Mamdani earlier said he would redirect NYPD's budget and won't hire more cops. Amid a major meltdown over the victory of Indian-origin Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary of the New York mayoral election, Republican NYC mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa said Mamdani has no understanding about how the police department works, and that's why he promised to create a new Department of Community Safety separately from the police department. This would effectively neuter the police department if cops are forced to become social workers, Sliwa said to the New York Post, which reported apprehension over NYC becoming unsafe if Mamdani becomes the mayor. 'He has a weird notion of how policing is, as if it should be people like Mahatma Gandhi walking around, you know, functioning as a social worker. That does not work," Sliwa said. Zohran Mamdani's police reform positions Mamdani promised major NYPD reform, including redirecting funds from the police department towards housing, healthcare and mental health services. He said the NYPD's budget was bloated and harmful and community investment was more important over policing. Scott Munro, president of the NYPD Detectives Endowment Association, told NYP the city would be totally unsafe if Mamdani becomes the mayor. 'If you put a guy like him in there, our people are going to get hurt, and nobody's going to want the job. It's going to put recruitment back five more steps,' Munro said. NYPD insiders said Mamdani clearly hates the NYPD, though he accepted round-the-clock police protection. Sliwa blamed the rise of Mamdani on Eric Adams' time in office, which was marked by scandals, and said he is not going anywhere, leaving the mayoral battle. "I'm in it until November 4," he said. 'We have to go after the hipster millennials and Gen Zers. It's the same group that Donald Trump appealed to," Sliwa said. 'There is no Zohran Mamdani if Eric Adams had done a decent job,' Sliwa said. 'He created the atmosphere so that somebody that nobody knew that was at one per cent in the polls back in February could suddenly win a Democratic primary against an iconic figure like Andrew Cuomo.'

Indian Officials Stay Back In US To Seal Trade Deal Before July 9 Tariff Deadline
Last Updated: The bilateral talks, which were originally scheduled to wrap up on June 27, continued for an extra day as both sides sought to bridge key differences The Indian officials have prolonged their visit to Washington as negotiations around the trade deal with the United States intensify in the final stretch before a July 9 tariff deadline, according to individuals familiar with the discussions. The bilateral talks, which were originally scheduled to wrap up on June 27, continued for an extra day as both sides sought to bridge key differences, reported Bloomberg. The extension has raised expectations of a potential interim trade agreement, the sources said, requesting anonymity due to the confidential nature of the negotiations. The discussions come as both countries remain at odds over several unresolved issues. One of the primary sticking points is the US request for India to permit imports of genetically modified (GM) agricultural products. Indian negotiators have declined this proposal, citing potential harm to the country's farming sector. On its part, India is pushing for a more comprehensive outcome that addresses both sector-specific market access and the removal of reciprocal tariffs imposed on Indian exports. Last week, US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about the progress of the talks, stating that a 'very big" agreement with India could be reached soon. With the 90-day suspension of higher US tariffs on Indian goods set to expire on July 9, negotiators on both sides are under increasing pressure to conclude a deal that averts renewed trade friction.
