Rep. Moran reacts to Texas House passing ‘Big, Beautiful Bill'
Lindale ISD employee celebrated after dedicating 35 years to the district
The 'Big, Beautiful Bill' is a fiscal package bill from Trump with the goal of cutting $1.5 trillion from the the government's budget in an effort to establish different tax laws, overtime pay and more. Moran released this message in statement following the bill's passage in the Texas House.
'With today's passage of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, House Republicans delivered on the promises we made to the American people,' Moran said. 'This legislation puts working families, small businesses, and rural communities back at the center of our economic future—right where they belong.'
Moran expressed that without the 'Big Beautiful Bill', families would see a major tax increase by 2026. He said families earning the median income of $62,182 would see a 22% increase amounting to $1,142 on their tax bill.

According to a release from Moran's team, the bill aims to strengthen small businesses by making the 199A small business deduction permanent, which would reportedly produce $750 billion in economic growth and aid 1 million new jobs.
This bill is not just for small businesses, it will also support families, rural America and the boarder economy. Families could see tax relief on car loan interest, overtime pay and tips along with getting an increase on the Child Tax Credit, according to the release.
The release said rural family farms could see growth with expensing for new factories and agricultural improvements. The boarder economy could also see expensing for new factories with more upgrades.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Want to see tennis stars like Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon's Centre Court for $20? Here's how
LONDON -- It might just be the best deal in all of major professional sports: Tennis fans can get a chance to watch stars such as Carlos Alcaraz compete on Centre Court at Wimbledon by forking over just 15 pounds — about $20 at the current exchange rate. That's instead of Friday's price of nearly $220 for the best seats at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament's biggest stadium. Face value there rises as the event goes on, hitting nearly $370 by the end of Week 2, then going up again for the singles finals. The secret to saving so much cash? The official resale service. It allows anyone already on-site with a ticket to sign up via the Wimbledon app for a daily lottery to get into one of the top three courts at a cut rate, including about $13 each for No. 1 Court or No. 2 Court. Those spots are offered up to the All England Club by spectators who leave before play ends. 'It's an elite tournament in terms of the players, but it's not elite to get in, which is part of the appeal,' said Ed Hogan, a retired 69-year-old from Reading, which is a little more than an hour west of Wimbledon. 'The concept of resales is great. It's recycling at its best — sharing the joy.' The All England Club wouldn't say how many tickets get resold. 'We're selling the same ticket twice,' said the club's operations manager, Michelle Dite, 'and the primary reason is to make tennis as accessible to as many people as possible.' Money from resales goes to charities via the Wimbledon Foundation. Nearly $80,000 was raised through the first three days of this year's tournament; last year's total was about $300,000. Wimbledon has done resales since 1954, but until last year, folks hoping to take advantage of the deal needed to stand in a line once they were on-site, hope they were there soon enough — and hope enough tickets were returned. Now, though, that 'line' is virtual. Here's how it works: After opting in on the app and getting their phone scanned by 2:30 p.m. at kiosks on-site or near the Wimbledon Queue, where thousands of people camp out at a local park for up to 24 hours in hopes of getting full-price tickets for main courts or grounds passes for smaller ones, fans then wait for a text message giving the good news that they were one of the lucky ones chosen for the resale, which runs from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. They have 10 minutes to confirm they still want a used ticket for the rest of the day, and another 20 minutes to get themselves to the green-and-brown ticket resale booth behind No. 1 Court to show the QR code that lets them pay for the cheap tickets. 'You're not stuck in one place forever," said Henry Thompson, 38, a high school math teacher from Missouri. 'This is much more efficient. Took 30 seconds. Much better.' Thompson, who was wearing a blue hat with the Wimbledon logo, really wanted to see 10th-seeded American Ben Shelton, so he entered the resale lottery and was able to get a seat for No. 2 Court for $13 instead of $115. 'It's beneficial to the sport to give people access to those courts for a reasonable price,' said Marcos Giron, a 45th-ranked American who won first-round matches in singles and doubles this week. 'It's a wonderful thing.' Chen Pinjung, who just finished medical school in Taiwan, waited in the queue for six hours, paid 30 pounds ($40) there for a grounds pass, then also got herself into No. 1 Court via a resale for an additional $13 — instead of the $150 it could have cost to see 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina win there Thursday. 'If everybody knew how that works, I'm sure everybody would apply,' said Rafael Garcia, who was with his girlfriend, Diana Meneses, and her brother, Gustavo Meneses. 'We saw that (resale) office last year, but we didn't know how to do it. Now we will.'

Posthaste: Canadian dollar could hit 78 cents U.S. and sooner than expected, says Scotiabank analyst
Currency analysts at Scotiabank say it's possible the Canadian dollar could rise to as high as 78 cents U.S. against the greenback by the end of this year instead of 2026 on a deteriorating outlook for the loonie's American counterpart 'We remain a bit more bullish on the CAD (Canadian dollar) outlook, bearish on the U.S. dollar than the Street consensus,' Shaun Osborne, chief FX strategist at Scotiabank Global FX Strategy, said during a webinar. The Canadian dollar has clocked a strong run over the last six months and is up 6.2 per cent against the U.S. dollar. Thursday alone, the loonie rose 0.5 per cent to an intraday high of 73.76 cents U.S. Conversely, the U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback's performance against a basket of other major currencies including the Canadian dollar, has fallen nearly 11 per cent in its worst performance over six straight months since the 1970s, and its worst first-half showing since 2017. 'A six-month run (down) is pretty unusual,' Osborne said. 'It does seem quite likely that even though we've seen this significant depreciation … in the past few months. That trend is very likely to continue.' Osborne forecast to the policies and actions of United States President Donald Trump, including his massive tax-cut bill, which is projected to increase U.S. debt by US$3.3 trillion. The bill passed its final legislative test on Thursday and was due to be signed into law by Trump by his July 4 deadline. 'It seems quite likely that we will see persistent deficits in the U.S. Over time we have seen a pretty strong relationship between the situation on the deficit side and the evolution of the U.S. dollar,' he said. Osborne also said the 'potential erosion of Fed (U.S. Federal Reserve) independence is another worry for investors at a time where inflationary pressures still seem to be simmering,' which is another headwind for the U.S. dollar's performance. On Wednesday, Trump said in a Truth Social post that Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell was 'too late' and 'should resign immediately.' The U.S. dollar could decline further if Trump decides to name a 'shadow' chair who is amenable to the president's calls for lower interest rates. 'Given the exceptional returns from the U.S. economy and assets over the last 10 to 15 years, we think we are in a position where global investors have become over-indexed to U.S. dollar assets and they are wondering if that situation is wise and whether it should continue,' Osborne said. There were signs in April that investors were thinking exactly that when the largest net outflow from U.S. Treasuries by Canadian investors ($57.8 billion) was recorded — also bad news for the greenback, but a definite boost to the loonie. On the plus side for the Canadian dollar, a TD Securities report from last week said if Canadian pension funds decide to repatriate U.S. investments to hedge against greenback losses, that flow of money back into Canada could provide a significant lift. TD Securities is currently calling for the Canadian dollar to rise 76 cents U.S. by December. Added Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Corpay Currency Research: 'As long as the slow-motion flight from the dollar continues, the loonie stands to benefit.' to get Posthaste delivered straight to your share of exports destined for the United States shrank to the smallest proportion since at least 1997, excluding the COVID pandemic.
