Trump admin live updates: Jeffries' marathon speech continues as final megabill vote looms
Trump's megabill cleared a key procedural hurdle overnight after GOP drama. 3:34 After hours of Republican drama, the House on Thursday morning was nearing a final vote on President Donald Trump's sweeping tax cut and spending bill. Trump helped Speaker Mike Johnson pressure GOP holdouts into flipping their no votes to allow the measure to go forward in time to meet the president's self-imposed July Fourth deadline. Republican fiscal hawks were upset that the Senate version being voted is projected to add roughly $1 trillion more to the deficit than what the House passed back in May. 76 Updates Jun 30, 2025, 3:33 PM EDT Democrats use early hours of vote-a-rama to highlight cuts to Medicaid, SNAP Democrats are using Monday's "vote-a-rama" to highlight cuts they say President Trump's megabill will make to Medicaid, SNAP and rural hospitals -- and to hammer in the tax cuts they say this bill gives to the wealthiest Americans. So far, Republicans have defeated all Democratic efforts to modify or reconsider the bill. The Senate voted down 47-53 an amendment led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that he said would have undone "the travesty that is at the core of the Republican bill." "Their bill -- the so-called big beautiful bill, which is really a big, ugly betrayal -- cuts taxes for billionaires by taking away health care for millions of people. So what my amendment simply says -- if people's health care costs go up, the billionaire tax cuts vanish," Schumer said. Senate Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo, a Republican, argued against Schumer's amendment, saying he incorrectly framed what the bill does. "The reality is, the reforms we are putting into place are to try to reign in control of wasteful and fraudulent and abusive spending that actually diverts resources away from the people who these programs really deserve to receive," Crapo said. Democratic Sen. Ed Markey's effort to strip provisions that he said would negatively impact rural hospitals due to cuts to Medicaid also failed, but did receive the support of two Republicans: Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the top Democrat on the Senate Agriculture committee, argued that the SNAP provisions in the bill create "chaos for state budgets and hardship for families" and violate budget rules. Her motion was waived by Republicans. "The largest unfunded mandate is on the back of kids and veterans and seniors and people with disabilities," Klobuchar said. "It's hurting local grocery stores, it's hurting our farmers and it's all done to pay for tax cuts to the wealthy. I say to our colleagues: vote for families over billionaires." -ABC News' Allison Pecorin President Trump sent a handwritten note to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell calling on him to lower interest rates, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during Monday's briefing. Leavitt held up the note to reporters, which appeared to have been written by Trump using his signature black Sharpie. "I bring to you original correspondence from the president of the United States to our Fed Chair, Jerome Powell," she said. The paper included a list of interest rates from other nations, including Japan and the United Kingdom, which are lower than that of the U.S. A note written on top of the chart read, "Jerome, you are, as usual, 'too late.' You have cost the USA a fortune and continue to do so. You should lower the rate - by a lot! Hundreds of billions of dollars are being lost! No inflation." "I would remind the Fed chair, and I would remind the entire world that this is a president who was a businessman first, and he knows what he is doing," Leavitt said. "He has a proven economic formula that worked in his first term as president, and it is working again. The one problem that remains is high interest rates for the American people. The American people want to borrow money cheaply, and they should be able to do that. But unfortunately, we have interest rates that are still too high. So, the president sent this note to the Fed chair today." Jun 30, 2025, 1:46 PM EDT White House urges Republicans to stay unified on Trump megabill The White House had a message for Republicans on Monday as lawmakers rush to try to pass President Trump's megabill before his July 4 deadline. "Republicans need to stay tough and unified during the home stretch, and we are counting on them to get the job done," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at her briefing. Leavitt was asked about the bill's prospects in the House, which will have to sign off on the Senate changes. There is currently little room for error in either chamber for Republicans -- Speaker Mike Johnson can only afford three defections if all members are present and voting. "We need the full weight of the Republican conference to get behind this bill and we expect them to, and we are confident they will," Leavitt said. "The president has been working hand in hand with Senate Majority Leader Thune and also our House Republican Leader, or the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, both of whom will be at the White House today to meet with the president yet again. I believe they were here this morning," she added. Jun 30, 2025, 10:11 AM EDT 'Vote-a-rama' kicks off in the Senate on Trump's megabill

Did Zelensky Wear A Suit? Ukrainian President's NATO Outfit Leaves Crypto Bettors In Shambles
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. What is a suit? This seemingly simple question is at the center of a $53 million dispute on the popular cryptocurrency betting platform Polymarket. Specifically, cryptocurrency bettors are split on whether Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's recent NATO summit attire was a suit. Zelensky's wardrobe decisions have become a hot-button topic since his ill-fated meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House in February. At that meeting, Zelensky's signature military-esque sweatshirt, donned as an act of solidarity with Ukrainian troops fighting Russia's invasion, attracted snide comments from Trump. 'You're all dressed up today,' Trump said, referring to Zelensky as he stepped out of his car. Don't Miss: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . In recent months, this incident has inspired multiple betting markets on whether Zelensky will wear a suit on Polymarket. The most recent market, 'Will Zelensky wear a suit before July?' was supposed to resolve on Tuesday, but is still open on Thursday amid disputes over whether what he wore at the NATO summit at The Hague on June 24 was a suit. At the summit, Zelensky ditched his signature military-style sweatshirt for a black military-style black jacket, black shirt, and black pants, an outfit widely reported by several media outlets and an official Polymarket X account as a suit. While this reporting consensus should have typically led to the resolution of the market in favor of bets that Zelensky would wear a suit, the market is in dispute. Trending: New to crypto? on Coinbase. For one, some have taken issue with the unorthodox style of Zelensky's outfit. 'I dno [dunno] what kind of suit you wear but what the Z man worse [wore] is NOT a suit!' a user under the name 'Grinch' said on Polymarket's Discord. At the same time, others have pointed out that Zelensky wore a similar outfit in May, but the market resolved 'No,' suggesting it was not a suit. On the other hand, some have argued that individual opinions on whether or not it was a suit should not matter, citing the mass media coverage and the condition for resolution of the market. That condition reads, 'The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.' Voices in this camp argue that the market only resolved "No" in May because there was no reporting far, two attempts to resolve the market in the affirmative on Universal Market Access have been blocked. UMA is a decentralized finance oracle and dispute resolution protocol partnered with Polymarket. The protocol allows token holders to vote on the truthfulness of assertions based on real-world data. The clarification from the second resolution attempt reads, 'At the time of this clarification, 09:33am ET July 01, a consensus of credible reporting has not confirmed that Zelenskyy has worn a suit.' This clarification has stoked manipulation claims. 'The June market must resolve Yes,' a user under the name 'vazelin' said on Discord. 'There is overwhelming consensus from global media, including Polymarket itself. If this resolves No like May, it damages trust.' The recent dispute raises questions about the fairness and reliability of prediction markets in nuanced situations. The dispute comes as Polymarket is reportedly close to announcing a $200 million raise that will see it achieve unicorn status. Polymarket has yet to return a Benzinga request for comment.

First immigration detainees arrive at Florida center in the Everglades
The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new detention center deep in the Florida Everglades that officials have dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz,' a spokesperson for Republican state Atty. Gen. James Uthmeier told the Associated Press. 'People are there,' Press Secretary Jae Williams said, though he didn't immediately provide further details on the number of detainees or when they arrived. 'Next stop: back to where they came from,' Uthmeier said on the X social media platform Wednesday. He's been credited as the architect behind the Everglades proposal. Requests for additional information from the office of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Division of Emergency Management, which is building the site, had not been returned early Thursday afternoon. The facility, at an airport used for training, will have an initial capacity of about 3,000 detainees, DeSantis said. The center was built in eight days and features more than 200 security cameras, 28,000-plus feet of barbed wire and 400 security personnel. Immigrants who are arrested by Florida law enforcement officers under the federal government's 287(g) program will be taken to the facility, according to a Trump administration official. The program is led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and allows police officers to interrogate immigrants in their custody and detain them for potential deportation. The facility is expected to be expanded in 500-bed increments until it has an estimated 5,000 beds by early July. Environmental groups and Native American tribes have protested against the center, contending it is a threat to the fragile Everglades system, would be cruel to detainees because of heat and mosquitoes, and is on land the tribes consider sacred. It's also located at a place prone to frequent heavy rains, which caused some flooding in the tents Tuesday during a visit by President Trump to mark its opening. State officials say the complex can withstand a Category 2 hurricane, which packs winds of between 96 and 110 mph, and that contractors worked overnight to shore up areas where flooding occurred. DeSantis and other state officials say locating the facility in the rugged and remote Florida Everglades is meant as a deterrent — and naming it after the notorious federal prison of Alcatraz, an island fortress known for its brutal conditions, is meant to send a message. It's another sign of how the Trump administration and its allies are relying on scare tactics to try to persuade people in the country illegally to leave voluntarily. State and federal officials have touted the plans on social media and conservative airwaves, sharing a meme of a compound ringed with barbed wire and 'guarded' by alligators wearing hats labeled 'ICE' for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Republican Party of Florida has taken to fundraising off the detention center, selling branded T-shirts and beer koozies emblazoned with the facility's name. Anderson and Payne write for the Associated Press. Anderson reported from St. Petersburg, Fla. Payne reported from Tallahassee, Fla. AP reporter Gisela Salomon in Miami contributed to this report.
