House Republicans are ready to finish Trump's bill. Not so fast, Democratic leader Jeffries says
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans, up all night, are ready to vote on President Donald Trump's $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill after GOP leaders and the president worked to persuade skeptical holdouts to drop their opposition by his Fourth of July deadline. Not so fast, the top Democrat says. Final debates began in the predawn hours Thursday after another chaotic day, and night, at the Capitol. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., insisted the House would meet the Friday deadline. But for now, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York was holding the floor and doing the speaking. Seizing a leader's prerogative for unlimited debate, Jeffries did just that, starting early in the morning and continuing for some five hours, and counting. He read letter after letter from Americans writing about their reliance of the health care programs and their worries of devastating cuts. He spoke of Republican colleagues who could stand up and oppose what he called the 'big ugly bill.' Fellow Democrats filled the chairs around Jeffries, cheering at times. 'I never thought that I'd be on the House floor saying that this is a crime scene,' Jeffries said. 'It's a crime scene, going after the health, and the safety, and the well-being of the American people.' And as Democrats, he said, 'We want no part of it.' He was a few hours away from the record for the longest House leaders speech, set in 2021. Johnson promised his own speech would be short. 'Our way is to plow through and get it done,' Johnson said, emerging in the middle of the night from closed-door meetings. 'We will meet our July 4th deadline.' The outcome would be a milestone for the president and his party, compiling a long list of their priorities into what they call his 'one big beautiful bill,' an 800-plus page package. With Democrats unified in opposition, the bill will become a defining measure of Trump's return to the White House, with the sweep of Republican control of Congress. Tax breaks and safety net cuts At its core: $4.5 trillion in tax breaks enacted in Trump's first term in 2017 that would expire if Congress failed to act, along with new ones. This includes allowing workers to deduct tips and overtime pay, and a $6,000 deduction for most older adults earning less than $75,000 a year. It provides some $350 billion for national security, Trump's deportation agenda and development of the 'Golden Dome' defensive system over the United States. To help offset the costs of lost tax revenue, the package has $1.2 trillion in cutbacks to the Medicaid health care and food stamps, largely by imposing new work requirements, including for some parents and older people, and a massive rollback of green energy investments. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the proposal will add $3.3 trillion to the nation's debt over the decade and 11.8 million more people will go without health coverage. "This was a generational opportunity to deliver the most comprehensive and consequential set of conservative reforms in modern history, and that's exactly what we're doing,' said Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, the House Budget Committee chairman. Democrats stand united in opposition Democrats unified against the bill as a tax giveaway to the rich paid for on the backs of the most vulnerable in society, what they called 'trickle down cruelty.' 'Have you no shame?' said Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee. Republicans have struggled mightily with the bill nearly every step of the way in the House and Senate, often succeeding only by the narrowest of margins: just one vote. In the Senate, Vice President JD Vance broke the tie vote. The slim 220-212 majority in the House leaves Republicans little room for defections. Political costs of saying no In some ways, the bill became too big to fail, in part because Republicans found it difficult to buck Trump. As Wednesday's stalled floor action dragged overnight, Trump railed against the delays. 'What are the Republicans waiting for???' the president said in a midnight post. 'What are you trying to prove???' Johnson relied heavily on White House Cabinet secretaries, lawyers and others to satisfy skeptical GOP holdouts. Moderate Republicans worried about the severity of cuts while conservatives pressed for steeper reductions. Lawmakers said they were being told the administration could provide executive actions, projects or other provisions in their districts back home. The alternative was clear. Republicans who staked out opposition to the bill, including Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, were being warned by Trump's well-funded political operation. Tillis soon after announced he would not seek reelection. Rollback of past presidential agendas In many ways, the package is a repudiation of the agendas of the last two Democratic presidents, a chiseling away at the Medicaid expansion from Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act and a pullback of Joe Biden's climate change strategies in the Inflation Reduction Act. Democrats say cuts to Medicaid, which some 80 million Americans rely on, would result in lives lost. Food stamps that help feed more than 40 million people would "rip food from the mouths of hungry children, hungry veterans and hungry seniors,' Jeffries said. Republicans say the tax breaks will prevent a tax increase on households and grow the economy. They maintain they are trying to rightsize the safety net programs for the population they were initially designed to serve, mainly pregnant women, the disabled and children, and root out what they describe as waste, fraud and abuse. The Tax Policy Center, which provides nonpartisan analysis of tax and budget policy, projected the bill would result next year in a $150 tax break for the lowest quintile of Americans, a $1,750 tax cut for the middle quintile and a $10,950 tax cut for the top quintile. That's compared with what they would face if the 2017 tax cuts expired. ___ Associated Press writers Kevin Freking, Joey Cappelletti and Matt Brown contributed to this report.

HKFoods backtracks on plan to sell Polish bacon factory
Following a strategic review, Finnish meat processor HKFoods has decided to keep its bacon production unit in Swinoujście, Poland. In a stock exchange filing published today (3 July), the company said it will 'continue with the current group structure', backtracking on reassessment plans announced in April that could have included a sale of the Swinoujście site. Operated by HKFoods' business in Poland, the Swinoujście plant has around 300 employees, according to the company. HKFoods reiterated its April estimate today that the Polish subsidiary will generate net sales of approximately €70m ($82.3m) in 2025. Commenting on the decision, HKFoods CEO Juha Ruohola said: 'We have invested in the Polish bacon unit over the past years and the profitable unit is in good shape. We have developed the unit's capacity and efficiency by investing in a slicing and packaging line in 2024, for example. During the first half of 2025, we have also continued our investment in increasing the added value of our Polish operations and our property development project. 'Following the extensive restructuring, we are now focusing on implementing our strategy in the HKFoods Group's operations in Finland and Poland, improving the competitiveness of our core business and the profitability of our operations, in addition to commercial activities." The company had said in April that the assessment was part of its ongoing evaluation of its group structure 'aimed at strengthening the group's balance sheet'. The Finnish meat processor has undergone significant restructuring in recent years to bolster its financial flexibility, including selling its businesses in the Baltics, Sweden, and Denmark. In May last year, the company signed a deal to sell its Danish subsidiary to Plukon Food Group, a Netherlands-based poultry group, for €44.6m. HKFoods also sold its Swedish business to local agri-food group Lantmännen in January 2024. The company's 2024 financial results, published in February, showed net sales from continuing operations of €1bn, up 7.4% from the previous year, driven by 'good' consumer demand and 'successful' commercial activities. EBITDA from continuing operations rose to €56.3m, a 24.8% increase from 2023, while the loss for the period narrowed to €1.8m from €17.3m in 2023. Losses turned positive in the most recent results issued in May for the first quarter of 2025. HKFoods delivered a net profit of €0.8m versus a €3.8m loss a year earlier. Sales climbed 2.2% to €233.7m in the three months to 31 March, while EBITDA from continuing operations rose 36% to €12.1m. In March, HKFoods also closed a slaughterhouse in the town of Paimio, Finland, as cattle numbers declined. Operations conducted by the company's Paimion Teurastamo business were to be transferred to the 'external service provider' Liha Hietanen in Sastamala by 31 March, HKFoods said in a statement.
