Trump Tax Bill Hits Senate With GOP Torn by Competing Demands
(Bloomberg) -- Senate Majority Leader John Thune is rushing to meet President Donald Trump's July 4 deadline for pushing through his massive tax and spending bill, but first he has to work through a list of approximately eight Republican senators who have expressed opposition to portions of it. Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown Sao Paulo Pushes Out Favela Residents, Drug Users to Revive Its City Center Within the next two days, he needs to find a way to appease most of them. The South Dakota Republican has one of the least enviable jobs in Washington in the coming hours — trying to knit a compromise between factions of his party: one side pushing for more spending cuts in the legislation and senators who are threatening to withhold their support unless there is more funding for health benefits, renewable energy subsidies and other priorities. Thune can afford to lose only three his 53 members in the chamber, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie. Trump is closely watching the talks, quick to issue a harsh social media broadside to anyone who criticize his signature tax-cut legislation. Just ask North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis, one of two Republicans who voted against a late-night Saturday procedural vote to begin debate on the legislation. Trump unleashed a series of scathing posts, threatening to primary Tillis. The president took personal swipes, calling him a 'talker and complainer, NOT A DOER!' before also getting in a jab at Rand Paul, the other GOP senator to oppose the vote to advance the bill. Tillis on Sunday announced he wouldn't be running for reelection, a decision that unshackles him from any need to show fidelity to Trump to preserve his political career. He's indicated he's likely to oppose the bill. Paul has said he is also likely to vote 'no' on the legislation based on the price tag and the inclusion of a $5 trillion debt ceiling increase. If both Tillis and Paul remain in opposition, Thune can only lose one more. Polls show that Americans are wary of the bill. A recent Pew Research survey found that 49% of Americans oppose the bill, while 29% supported it. Some 21% weren't sure what to think. Republicans in Congress broadly support the $4.5 trillion worth of tax cuts in the package, which extend the 2017 tax cuts and create new breaks for tipped and hourly workers, along with seniors and car buyers. But the $1.2 trillion worth of spending cuts have created numerous problems. Moderates including Tillis, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are pushing to scale back cuts to Medicaid benefits, warning that those reductions could come at a great political cost if millions of Americans lose health coverage as a result of the bill. Some 11.8 million people could lose access to insurance benefits over the course of a decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office's most recent estimate. Murkowski and Tillis have also called to slow down planned phaseouts of solar, wind and other renewable energy credits that have spurred job creation in their states. Those asks are in direct opposition to demands from Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and others to bake in more Medicaid cuts in a bid to shrink the overall price tag of the bill. He says Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming will join with him to back an amendment to include faster health coverage cuts during an a marathon voting session slated to start late Sunday or early Monday. Trump has not delved into the details of the legislation. Instead, the president has pushed for speed, demanding that Congress deliver the bill to him by July 4. The House will also need to vote on the Senate-passed version before it can go the president's desk to be signed into law. Meeting the July 4 deadline is ambitious — but possible if Republican leaders can successfully navigate thorny fights. Senators are expected to remain in the Capitol Sunday into Monday for an overnight voting session. Final passage of the bill could come sometime Monday if Thune is able to cut deals with enough senators for passage. The House then will need to vote on the Senate package. That likely means Speaker Mike Johnson will have to wrangle House Republicans to support the Senate package. Several members have already signaled they aren't satisfied with aspects of the bill, but any further changes likely mean missing Trump's July 4 deadline and risking his ire.

Hundreds of neighbors rally to give a 9-year-old with cancer one last Christmas
Kelley Zocks doesn't usually go all out for Christmas. She might hang some twinkly lights, maybe put up a wreath on the red door of her home. But on the last Saturday in June, following a week of dangerously hot temperatures in the D.C. region, Zocks dotted her walkway with glowing luminaria, set up a red inflatable shopfront announcing 'cookies for Santa,' propped open lawn chairs and put on a Mrs. Claus costume and wig before loading up a cooler with dozens of chocolate ice pops. Frozen hot cocoa, if you will. Hers was one of hundreds of households that signed up to celebrate Christmas in June for a little girl with cancer who might not make it to December. For miles, in the thick heat and humidity, neighbors dressed in holiday apparel gathered to watch the girl and her family wind through streets alight and glowing, like a scene out of a Christmas card. At a time when crises, global and local, feel constant and far beyond any one person's control, several community members said they felt grateful to be able to do something tangible to help one family find a moment of happiness in the face of certain tragedy. It started with an email to neighbors from Alyssa Zachmann, whose 9-year-old daughter Kasey was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer four years ago. 'Kasey loves Christmas,' Zachmann wrote last weekend, 'and we want to give her a chance to experience some Christmas joy, so we are hoping some houses in the neighborhood would be willing to put up Christmas lights next Saturday.' Zachmann knew this week was going to be a scorcher. She didn't expect anyone to go too far out of their way. Maybe some lights here and there, a few decorations on a front lawn or two. The houses nearby, in the Brookdale and Westbrook neighborhoods, would be more than enough to make Kasey feel like Christmas had come early, she thought. She made a spreadsheet to keep track; so the family could make sure to drive by each household that volunteered. But as the days passed, the number of names multiplied. A dozen people signed up. Then 100. By Saturday afternoon, the list had exceeded 270 homes from 11 neighborhoods up and down the D.C.-Maryland border. In 2021, when Kasey was just 5 years old, she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer. Kasey underwent months of chemotherapy as she attended first grade. At first, Alyssa Zachmann said, the family wasn't as public about Kasey's diagnosis. They held onto a quiet hope that she could beat back the disease and become one of the 6 in 10 children who, according to the National Institutes of Health, go on to survive a medulloblastoma diagnosis. For a few months in 2022, the cancer appeared to be in remission. But then, Alyssa Zachmann said, it returned. 'When you feel helpless in the face of something like this, people channel that in different ways. We channeled it into advocacy and raising money for pediatric brain cancer research, which means we had to start talking about it,' she said, noting their work with the nonprofit Lilabean Foundation for Pediatric Brain Cancer Research. 'I think deep down we thought, 'What if we can raise enough money to find a cure for Kasey before it's too late?'' Over the last four years, Kasey has endured 10 surgeries, dozens of rounds of radiation and an aggressive regimen of medication, including two clinical trials. In that time, Zachmann said, the community has gotten to know Kasey and her story. When the Zachmanns announced they would be participating in Children's National's annual Race for Every Child, dozens of neighbors signed up to donate money or run in the 5k. In the last three years, Team KVZ has been one of Children's National's top fundraisers for the event. In 2022, Kasey's team had 64 members and raised more than $55,000. The next year, Team KVZ had grown to 90 people and brought in more than $60,000 in donations. Last year, the biggest turnout yet, had 139 team members who helped raise nearly $70,000 in donations. 'This family is so fantastic — just the grace they've shown in sharing their story and being so open about everything they've gone through over the course of this,' said Dana Rice, a neighbor who lives in Brookdale community and worked as the Zachmann family's real estate agent. 'It makes the rest of us in the community feel like this family belongs to all of us. That this is our story, too.' This month, the Zachmanns learned that the cancer in Kasey's brain had spread to her lymph nodes — a rare progression. Doctors told them that Kasey didn't have much time. Alyssa and Joe Zachmann began to think about what they could do for their daughter to make whatever time she had left as joyful as possible. One idea rose to the top: What if we did Christmas, the family posited. In June. Kasey's love of Christmas has never been contained to the holiday season. She watches Christmas movies devotedly — Macaulay Culkin's 'Home Alone' films are some of her favorites — and sings along to Christmas carols all year round. Her most-loved album, Gwen Stefani's 'You Make It Feel Like Christmas,' is on a near-constant rotation in the family's home. These days, Kasey gets tired quickly. When she's awake, her small body is wracked with pain. Medications help manage it, but make her lethargic and sleepy. To ensure Kasey had 'a few good hours' on Saturday, the Zachmanns planned to manage her medications carefully — and did what they could to make sure Kasey's best window lined up with a visit from Santa. 'I grew up Jewish; I didn't even celebrate Christmas until I met my husband,' Alyssa Zachmann said days before Saturday's event as the list of participants continued to grow. 'But Christmas magic is real, and I'm hoping it's present for my family and the whole neighborhood this weekend.' On Saturday, Santa didn't arrive in a sleigh. The big man in red got driven to Kasey's house in an antique engine from the Rockville Volunteer Fire Department. Firefighters from several departments across the state — from Bethesda Fire to Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company — rode through the neighborhood like they do in December for the annual Christmas parade. But first, they delivered cards and gifts directly to Kasey. 'The volunteer fire service doesn't do anything small,' said Lt. Megan Quinn of the Glen Echo Fire Department. 'They don't do anything halfway.' Neither does the Zachmanns' neighborhood. Houses were draped with banners that read 'Merry Christmas, Kasey!' One house on Jamestown Road spelled out Kasey's initials, KVZ, in lights. Neighbors and local businesses propped up decorations and hung homemade ornaments in the Zachmanns' front yard. Just after 8 p.m., Santa arrived with a 'ho-ho-ho' and a helper at his side. It wasn't an elf, but instead the mascot Dr. Bear from Children's National Hospital, where Kasey goes for treatment. Kasey beamed, and hugged the two before taking their hands and leading them to sit on the porch. Children in elf ears, Christmas pajamas and Santa hats clamored around the trio as Dr. Bear offered up tickles and high-fives. Kasey read her cards aloud and then called her little sister, Zara, over to share in one of the gifts: stuffed animals of the sibling duo Bluey and Bingo, from the popular show. Joe Zachmann, Kasey's dad, wiped away tears. Soon, the parade set off with the Zachmann family car following close behind. As evening fell, the Christmas celebration began to feel more like a summer block party. Alison Goradia, a former registered nurse at Children's National who also lives in the neighborhood, was one of the first people to call the Glen Echo Fire Department and ask that they roll out the usual Christmas pageantry. She also donned the Dr. Bear costume Saturday night. 'This is such great modeling for our kids. It's how to show up, how to actually be present and put everything else aside and say, 'This moment matters more than anything else going on,'' she said. 'This moment matters so much, not just to this sweet little girl who's fighting for her life literally, but for her family, who will have this memory forever.' As the Zachmanns drove past people stretched out on front porches and lawns, several neighbors came up to the back seat to give Kasey gifts and words of encouragement. At the house with the big inflatable display for Mrs. Claus's cafe, Zocks appeared. Under her gray coiffed wig, Zocks wore a white tank top and 1920s-style red-and-white striped bathing suit bottom, glasses with a pearl chain, red lipstick and a watermelon pool floaty around her waist. She offered Zara, Kasey's sister, a fruit popsicle out of a metallic ice cream cart. It went like this, on and on, for miles. The Zachmann family, determined to see every home that put in the effort to deliver Christmas for Kasey, drove around for two hours. Neighbors who spotted them shouted 'Merry Christmas' and cheered. Some stayed outside to greet the family through squalls of rain. Kasey was quiet in the back seat. Her small face looked out, taking in the lights. Every so often, as the family passed another house, another neighbor, another display with Kasey's name draped across front doors and parked cars, Kasey let out a single breathless word: 'Wow.'

US Senate pushes ahead on Trump tax cuts as nonpartisan analysis raises price tag
By Bo Erickson and Phil Stewart WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Senate version of President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill will add $3.3 trillion to the nation's debt, about $800 billion more than the version passed last month by the House of Representatives, a nonpartisan forecaster said on Sunday. The Congressional Budget Office issued its estimate of the bill's hit to the $36.2 trillion federal debt as Senate Republicans sought to push the bill forward in a marathon weekend session. Republicans, who have long voiced concern about growing U.S. deficits and debt, have rejected the CBO's longstanding methodology to calculate the cost of legislation. But Democrats hope the latest, eye-widening figure could stoke enough anxiety among fiscally-minded conservatives to get them to buck their party, which controls both chambers of Congress. The Senate only narrowly advanced the tax-cut, immigration, border and military spending bill in a procedural vote late on Saturday, voting 51-49 to open debate on the 940-page megabill. Trump on social media hailed Saturday's vote as a "great victory" for his "great, big, beautiful bill." In an illustration of the depths of the divide within the Republican Party over the bill, Senator Thom Tillis said he would not seek re-election next year, after Trump threatened to back a primary challenger in retribution for Tillis' Saturday night vote against the bill. Tillis' North Carolina seat is one of the few Republican Senate seats seen as vulnerable in next year's midterm elections. He was one of just two Republicans to vote no on Saturday. Trump wants the bill passed before the July 4 Independence Day holiday. While that deadline is one of choice, lawmakers will face a far more serious deadline later this summer when they must raise the nation's self-imposed debt ceiling or risk a devastating default on $36.2 trillion in debt. 'We are going to make sure hardworking people can keep more of their money,' Senator Katie Britt, an Alabama Republican, told CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. HITS TO BENEFITS Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, said this legislation would come to haunt Republicans if it gets approved, predicting 16 million Americans would lose their health insurance. "Many of my Republican friends know ... they're walking the plank on this and we'll see if those who've expressed quiet consternation will actually have the courage of their convictions," Warner told CBS News' "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan." The legislation has been the sole focus of a marathon weekend congressional session marked by political drama, division and lengthy delays as Democrats seek to slow the legislation's path to passage. Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer called for the entire text of the bill to be read on the Senate floor, a process that began before midnight Saturday and ran well into Sunday afternoon. Following that lawmakers will begin up to 20 hours of debate on the legislation. That will be followed by an amendment session, known as a "vote-a-rama," before the Senate votes on passage. Lawmakers said they hoped to complete work on the bill on Monday. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the other Republican "no" vote, opposed the legislation because it would raise the federal borrowing limit by an additional $5 trillion. "Did Rand Paul Vote 'NO' again tonight? What's wrong with this guy???" Trump said on social media. The megabill would extend the 2017 tax cuts that were Trump's main legislative achievement during his first term as president, cut other taxes and boost spending on the military and border security. Representative Michael McCaul, however, warned that fellow Republicans who do not back Trump on the bill could face payback from voters. "They know that their jobs are at risk. Not just from the president, but from the voting -- the American people. Our base back home will not reelect us to office if we vote no on this," McCaul also told CBS News. Senate Republicans, who reject the CBO's estimates on the cost of the legislation, are set on using an alternative calculation method that does not factor in costs from extending the 2017 tax cuts. Outside tax experts, like Andrew Lautz from the nonpartisan think tank Bipartisan Policy Center, call it a "magic trick." Using this calculation method, the Senate Republicans' budget bill appears to cost substantially less and seems to save $500 billion, according to the BPC analysis. If the Senate passes the bill, it will then return to the House of Representatives for final passage before Trump can sign it into law. The House passed its version of the bill last month.
