Stars, stripes and soundbites: Trump celebrates his 'big, beautiful' win

Why you can trust Sky News It couldn't have been more American. Stars, stripes and soundbites at the Iowa State Fairground on the eve of the fourth of July. The stars had aligned for President Trump, celebrating the passage of his signature tax and spending bill. "There can be no better birthday for America than the phenomenal victory we achieved just hours ago when Congress passed the big, beautiful bill to make America great again," he told the crowd at Des Moines. In recent weeks, his administration has earned its stripes, chalking up unexpected successes: an Israel/Iran ceasefire, agreement at NATO and a legislative breakthrough. It was a small margin - 218 votes to 214 - but a huge win for Donald Trump because the wide-ranging legislation effectively bankrolls his second-term agenda. He feels invincible right now, even joking when a bang interrupted his Iowa speech. "Don't worry, it's only fireworks, I hope. Famous last words… You always have to think positive. I didn't like the sound of that either," he laughed. Democrats have branded the bill "the big, ugly betrayal", claiming 11 million lower-income Americans will lose their healthcare to fund Trump's tax cuts and spending priorities. 👉 Follow Trump100 on your podcast app 👈 Their leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, vowed to "press on for democracy" in a record-breaking speech lasting eight hours and 11 minutes. But the Democrats will struggle to press on anywhere until they find a leader and a coherent opposition strategy to rally around. Republican representatives greeted the result with chants of "USA, USA", but their ownership of the bill makes them accountable for its impact. How Donald Trump handles this degree of power will define this presidency.

A year before declaring independence, colonists offered 'Olive Branch' petition to King George III

Alarmed by the policies of President Donald Trump, millions turned out last month for protests around the United States and overseas. Mindful of next year's 250th anniversary of American independence, organizers called the movement 'No Kings.' Had the same kind of rallies been called for in the summer of 1775, the response likely would have been more cautious. 'It ('No Kings') was probably a minority opinion in July 1775,' says H.W. Brands, a prize-winning scholar and chair of the history department at the University of Texas at Austin. 'There was a lot of passion for revolution in New England, but that was different from the rest of the country,' says Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis. 'There were still people who don't want to drawn into what they feared was an unnecessary war.' This month marks the 250th anniversary — the semiquincentennial — of a document enacted almost exactly a year before the Declaration of Independence: 'The Olive Branch Petition,' ratified July 5, 1775 by the Continental Congress. Its primary author was John Dickinson, a Pennsylvanian whose writing skills led some to call him the 'Penman of the Revolution,' and would stand as a final, desperate plea to reconcile with Britain. They put forth a pre-revolutionary argument The notion of 'No Kings' is a foundation of democracy. But over the first half of 1775 Dickinson and others still hoped that King George III could be reasoned with and would undo the tax hikes and other alleged abuses they blamed on the British Parliament and other officials. Ellis calls it the 'Awkward Interval,' when Americans had fought the British in Lexington and Concord and around Bunker Hill, while holding off from a full separation. 'Public opinion is changing during this time, but it still would have been premature to issue a declaration of independence,' says Ellis, whose books include 'Founding Brothers,' 'The Cause' and the upcoming 'The Great Contradiction." The Continental Congress projected unity in its official statements. But privately, like the colonies overall, members differed. Jack Rakove, a professor of history at Stanford University and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning 'Original Meanings,' noted that delegates to Congress ranged from 'radicals' such as Samuel Adams who were avid for independence to such 'moderates' as Dickinson and New York 's John Jay. The Olive Branch resolution balanced references to 'the delusive pretences, fruitless terrors, and unavailing severities' administered by British officials with dutiful tributes to shared ties and to the king's 'royal magnanimity and benevolence.' '(N)otwithstanding the sufferings of your loyal Colonists during the course of this present controversy, our Breasts retain too tender a regard for the Kingdom from which we derive our Origin to request such a Reconciliation as might in any manner be inconsistent with her Dignity or her welfare,' the sometimes obsequious petition reads in part. The American Revolution didn't arise at a single moment but through years of anguished steps away from the 'mother' country — a kind of weaning that at times suggested a coming of age, a young person's final departure from home. In letters and diaries written in the months before July 1775, American leaders often referred to themselves as children, the British as parents and the conflict a family argument. Edmund Pendleton, a Virginia delegate to the Continental Congress, urged 'a reconciliation with Our mother Country.' Jay, who would later help negotiate the treaty formally ending the Revolutionary War, proposed informing King George that 'your majesty's American subjects' are 'bound to your majesty by the strongest ties of allegiance and affection and attached to their parent country by every bond that can unite societies.' In the Olive Branch paper, Dickinson would offer tribute to 'the union between our Mother country and these colonies.' An early example of 'peace through strength' The Congress, which had been formed the year before, relied in the first half of 1775 on a dual strategy that now might be called 'peace through strength,' a blend of resolve and compromise. John Adams defined it as 'to hold the sword in one hand, the olive branch in the other.' Dickinson's petition was a gesture of peace. A companion document, 'The Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms," was a statement of resolve. The 1775 declaration was drafted by Thomas Jefferson, who a year later would be the principal writer of the Declaration of Independence, revised by Dickinson and approved by the Congress on July 6. The language anticipated the Declaration of Independence with its condemnation of the British for 'their intemperate Rage for unlimited Domination' and its vows to 'make known the Justice of our Cause.' But while the Declaration of Independence ends with the 13 colonies 'absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown,' the authors in 1775 assured a nervous public 'that we mean not to dissolve that Union which has so long and so happily subsisted between us, and which we sincerely wish to see restored.' 'Necessity has not yet driven us into that desperate Measure, or induced us to excite any other Nation to war against them,' they wrote. John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were among the peers of Dickinson who thought him naive about the British, and were unfazed when the king refused even to look at the Olive Branch petition and ruled that the colonies were in a state of rebellion. Around the same time Dickinson was working on his draft, the Continental Congress readied for further conflict. It appointed a commander of the newly-formed Continental Army, a renowned Virginian whom Adams praised as 'modest and virtuous ... amiable, generous and brave." His name: George Washington. His ascension, Adams wrote, "will have a great effect, in cementing and securing the Union of these Colonies.'

Russian drone attack on Kyiv injures 14, triggers multiple fires, mayor says

At least 14 people have been injured in an overnight drone attack on Kyiv that also damaged railway infrastructure, and set buildings and cars on fire throughout the city, the mayor has said, while separate explosions were reported in a city near Moscow. The attack was the latest in a series of Russian airstrikes on Kyiv that have intensified in recent weeks and included some of the deadliest assaults of the war on the city of three million people. Twelve of the injured were taken to hospital and two were treated at the scene, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a post on Telegram. Damage was recorded in six of Kyiv's 10 districts on both sides of the Dnipro River, which bisects the city, and falling drone debris set a medical facility on fire in the leafy Holosiivskyi district, Klitschko said. He said two fires had broken out in Svyatoshynskyi district in the west of the city when drone debris fell on a warehouse, while debris from another drone set fire to cars in the courtyard of a 16-storey residential building. Drones also triggered two fires on a roof and in a courtyard in buildings in the neighbouring Solomanskyi district, and a residential building in the Shevchenkivskyi district, he said. Witnesses reported a string of explosions and constant barrages of fire as air defence units tried to down the drones. Video on local media showed residents bedding down in subway stations in anticipation of further attacks. Ukraine's state-owned railway Ukrzaliznytsia, the country's largest carrier, said on Telegram that the attack on Kyiv damaged railway infrastructure in the city, diverting a number of passenger trains and causing delays. US President Donald Trump said that a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday resulted in no progress at all on efforts to end the war in Ukraine, while the Kremlin reiterated that Moscow would keep pushing to solve the conflict's 'root causes'. A decision by Washington earlier this week to halt some shipments of critical weapons to Ukraine prompted warnings by Kyiv that the move would weaken its ability to defend against intensifying airstrikes and battlefield advances. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Thursday that he hopes to speak with Trump on Friday about the supply of US weapons. Ukraine, meanwhile, launched a drone attack on the city of Sergiyev Posad near Moscow, injuring at least one person and with explosions reported in at least four locations, the head of the district Oksana Yerokhanova said early on Friday. 'I ask everyone to remain calm, not to approach the windows, not to photograph the work of the air defence,' Yerokhanova wrote in a post on the Telegram messaging app. Another drone attack on the southern Russian region of Rostov region killed at least one woman, Yury Slyusar, the acting governor of the region, said on Telegram early on Friday.
