Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The two-minute video includes eight people discussing the impact they believe the bill will have on their lives. Among those featured are a rancher, firefighter, DoorDash driver, pilot and border patrol agent, all praising the legislation. The Abraham family, whose daughter Katie was killed in January in a hit-and-run crash, also appears in the video. The man accused of killing her and another student is a migrant from Guatemala who was arrested on a bus in Texas as he attempted to return to Mexico. 'It's great to see that he is strengthening the border, he is putting some rational processes in, versus what's been going on the last four or five years, which is the Wild West,' Katie's father, Joe Abraham, said. 'Katie would be with us here today if we had this type of strength at the border.' Others in the video praise the bill's tax proposals and other measures. 'The reason I support the 'one big, beautiful bill' is because of the tax provisions,' said Kevin Kester, a California rancher. 'The 'one big, beautiful bill' provides funding to ensure a modernized, safe, and efficient air traffic control system here in the United States,' said Captain Miles Morgan, managing director of flight training for United Airlines. Trump has said he wants to sign the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' on July 4, which marks the 249th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. He has called on Republicans to pass the legislation by that date and warned that he would cancel their break next week if the bill isn't ready for him to sign by that deadline. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'The Great Republicans in the US Senate are working all weekend to finish our 'ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL. The House of Representatives must be ready to send it to my desk before July 4th — We can get it done,' he wrote on Truth Social. What is the 'Big, Beautiful Bill'? The 'One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act' is a proposed legislative package in the US House of Representatives aiming to reshape key areas of American policy. It's a comprehensive measure addressing taxes, federal spending, and border security. According to the White House, the bill will grow the economy by creating jobs, supporting manufacturing and encouraging investment. Officials say it will strengthen American businesses, provide families with lasting tax relief, and ensure that farms and small businesses can stay in family hands for generations. Supporters describe it as fulfilling a major promise to lower taxes for workers and businesses, protect family farms, and deliver strong, long-term economic growth.

Island wedding a picture-perfect reality
Katie and Jon met at 16 and tied the knot 25 years later. They flew 50 of their closest family and friends to the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and put on a weekend-long wedding extravaganza. The local community came together for the very special occasion. Local celebrant Amy Rossbach conducted the ceremony, a local teacher played the aisle music, and Cocos Picnics make charcuterie cups. Locals also helped put the marquees up and were behind the bar. The icing on the Cocos cake? Bride Katie flew saxophonist Laura Wilkins up to surprise her husband with his dream tunes in the evening. The big day took place on March 15, 2025, at bride Katie's birthplace — the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Katie's gorgeous dress was a Stella York design from Tuscany Bridal, and Jon wore linen trousers from Robertson Sand and a linen shirt from MJ Bale. The newlyweds spent three weeks on Cocos following the wedding, and plan on a child-free trip to Bali in 2026.

White House releases video featuring workers in ‘big, beautiful bill' pressure campaign
The White House on Friday released a video with testimonials from workers about the benefits of President Trump's 'big, beautiful bill,' as it seeks to ramp up pressure on Republicans ahead of planned Senate votes this weekend. In a video first shared with The Hill, eight people who attended Trump's event at the White House on Thursday talked about the impact they think the bill will have on their lives. The two-minute video included testimony from a rancher, fireman, Door Dash driver, pilot and border patrol agent, among others, hailing from states including Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois. The Abraham family, whose daughter Katie was killed in January in a hit-and-run crash, were featured in the video. The man accused of killing her and another student was a migrant from Guatemala and was caught on a bus in Texas leaving for Mexico. 'It's great to see that he is strengthening the border, he is putting some rational processes in, versus what's been going on the last four or five years, which is the wild west,' Katie's father, Joe Abraham, said. 'Katie would be with us here today if we had this type of strength of the border.' Others touted the tax proposals in the legislation and other provisions. 'The reason I support the one 'big, beautiful bill' is because of the tax provisions,' said Kevin Kester, a California rancher. 'The one 'big, beautiful bill' provides funding to ensure a modernized, safe and efficient air traffic control system here in the United States of America,' said Capt. Miles Morgan, the managing director for flight training for United Airlines. Earlier in the day, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told Senate Republicans to expect to see the legislative text of the budget reconciliation package Friday evening and then to vote at noon Saturday to begin debate on the bill. Trump has called on Republicans to pass the legislation by July 4 and earlier this week threatened to yank next week's recess if the legislation is not on his desk by the self-imposed deadline. 'The Great Republicans in the U.S. Senate are working all weekend to finish our 'ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,'' he said on Truth Social. 'The House of Representatives must be ready to send it to my desk before July 4th — We can get it done.' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was on Capitol Hill on Friday to discuss a tentative deal between the White House and House Republicans from New York, New Jersey and California to raise the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions from $10,000 to $40,000 for a period of five years. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters that he was in the Oval Office with Thune on Thursday evening to work through the bill with the president.

Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater UNFOLLOWS Conor McGregor after she was pictured partying with him in Ibiza
Vehind the scenes, the pictures didn't go down well with JJ, who swiftly hit the unfollow button on Conor's account conor McGone Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater UNFOLLOWS Conor McGregor after she was pictured partying with him in Ibiza Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KATIE Price's boyfriend JJ Slater has unfollowed Conor McGregor on Instagram after she was pictured partying with him in Ibiza. Page 3 legend Katie, 47, was snapped in a barely-there red and white bikini cuddling up to the UFC star, 36, at Ocean Beach during a rowdy day out on the Spanish party island. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Katie Price's boyfriend JJ Slater has unfollowed Conor McGregor on Instagram Credit: PA 4 The former glamour model was pictured cuddling up to the UFC star in Ibiza last week Credit: Instagram / Conor McGregor Grinning for selfies and dancing among the crowd, the mum-of-five looked in her element as she joined a host of celeb pals - including Wayne Lineker, Jamie O'Hara and Dean Gaffney - at the event. Conor later posted a photo from the event with Katie, captioning it: "Katie Price Forever." But behind the scenes, the pictures didn't go down well with JJ, 31, who swiftly hit the unfollow button on Conor's account. A source told The Sun: 'JJ had been following Conor on social media for around six months. "Katie and JJ went to Ireland a few months ago and Katie took him to Conor McGregor's pub and introduced them. "Katie was already following Conor on socials, and after that he followed her back and JJ also started following Conor. "Now, after Katie was snapped partying with Conor in Ibiza, JJ has unfollowed Conor. "He didn't like seeing the pictures of them having a whale of a time on the party island, he thought it looked disrespectful.' JJ, who found fame on Married at First Sight UK, has been dating Katie since earlier this year, with the pair recently enjoying a string of PDA-filled outings. Katie's tiny figure was on full display as she cuddled up with Conor during the wild party earlier this month. Katie Price reveals exactly how much she weighs after fan concerns over her skinny frame The reality star nearly slipped out of her tiny bikini as she danced among the crowd with the boxer. Showing off a deep bronze tan and slender frame, Katie beamed next to Conor as she posed with fans and the boxer. With a tiny red and white bikini barely keeping her famously enhanced boobs covered, Katie delighted in the revelry on the day out. JJ's representatives have been contacted for comment. Fans have grown concerned for the star in recent weeks during her increasingly slender frame. Katie has repeatedly shut down speculation she had started using weight loss jabs – and hit back at critics of her weight loss. Speaking on her Snapchat in May, Katie said: "Yes I've lost weight. "Yes that what I've wanted to do, I've wanted to lose weight. "Because the past three, four years ago when I broke my feet and I was in a wheelchair for 10 months because they said I'd never walk again, and obviously you put weight on being in a wheelchair. "And then I did all the IVF stuff, that also puts on weight. "So yeah I did put on weight and I hated it, I felt uncomfortable and it wasn't me." She then explained how, after finishing her failed IVF treatment, she became more active with healthy eating. "Everyone is talking about it - it's driving me mad," she said. "I'm healthy and I do eat. "If you look at old old pictures of me in the Jordan days, I was always skinny." The mum-of-five underwent a £1,500 bum filler procedure in May which she livestreamed on TikTok from the operating table. She told the camera: 'You can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. "If there's procedures out there to be done, I will take advantage of them. And at least I'm being honest.' Just weeks later, she shared that she had gone for more, further enlarging her rear. Plasters from the treatment were still present and bleeding on her bum by the time she arrived in Ibiza, with Katie showing off the bandages by the poolside. 4 Katie was photographed chatting with Conor at the party - with the boxer later sharing the pics Credit: Instagram / Conor McGregor
