Luna says she'll force House vote on member stock trading ban
Luna is moving forward with the highly sensitive effort after internal talks over proposals to curb lawmaker trading have gone sideways on Capitol Hill, with Republicans themselves at loggerheads over the way forward after months of talks. The issue, however, is gaining new momentum among a bipartisan faction of members who argue a crackdown is necessary to root out corruption. The House Ethics Committee concluded last week that Rep. Mike Kelly's wife bought shares in the steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs after Kelly's office learned the Commerce Department was launching an investigation that could result in tariffs benefiting the company — before notice of the investigation was made public. Kelly, a Pennsylvania Republican, is a senior member of the Ways and Means Committee. House Republicans also have privately raised concerns about Rep. Rob Bresnahan, another Pennsylvania Republican who has been a prolific stock trader after promising on the campaign trail to push a trading ban in Congress. Bresnahan has since introduced his own legislation and argues someone else manages the portfolio. A discharge petition allows a majority of the House to sidestep the majority party leadership's control of the floor agenda. Forcing a vote requires gathering signatures from 218 House members, but successful discharges are rare because it is considered a serious breach of party loyalty for majority members to sign them. The uproar adds to the politically explosive challenges Johnson will face when lawmakers return from their recess. He's already facing the threat of a separate discharge petition from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) that would force a vote on a bipartisan bill to release Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. On stock trading, a bipartisan group of House members — including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) — have been trying to chart a way forward on a ban for months without a resolution, according to five people granted anonymity to discuss the private conversations. They have been unable to settle on a compromise between several competing bills, including Burchett's legislation and a separate, more comprehensive bipartisan bill from Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.).

Daily Horoscope for July 29, 2025
General Daily Insight for July 29, 2025 Balance may be easy come, easy go today! With the easygoing Moon entering harmony-driven Libra today at 1:43 am EDT, balance seems as though it's being restored. We might breathe a sigh of relief. However, a curveball is coming in the form of Luna disagreeing with stubborn Saturn, pulling us back into stressful situations we thought we had left behind. Another twist arrives as the Moon faces off with confusing Neptune as well, making it hard to know what's true and what's false. Tread carefully. Aries March 21 – April 19 Confusion about where you want to go may impact everyone around you. You might fully believe that you know your path, but watch out for unexpected factors throwing you off course. Maybe you'll suddenly realize that you weren't ready, some information wasn't right, or that your destination isn't so desirable after all. People who watched you get to this point may think that you're inconsistent, but you should be allowed to change your mind if you so choose. You don't have to feel locked in. Taurus April 20 – May 20 What you don't know might lead you off course. It's important to cross your t's and dot your i's today, because there's a strong chance that you're missing or forgetting something. That piece could be a key factor in deciding whether you end up on top or must restart from scratch! Having to go back to the drawing board is not always a bad thing, but it should save time to have all your ducks in a row before you move forward. Check and double-check. Gemini May 21 – June 20 No matter how much you want to get along with your peers, exciting risks may call your name louder than they do. Your pals may not want you to take the leaps that tug at your soul, motivating them to ask that you conform to the group. Is there really a 'right or wrong' here? Maybe not! You can follow your intuition without throwing everything they say out the window. After all, you might regret what you didn't do more than what you did do. Cancer June 21 – July 22 You're making strides in your career, but you might not be seeing the full fruits of your labor yet. The hard work that you're putting in certainly counts for something, but you likely have to push onward to reach the ultimate reward that you're seeking. Right now, people may not be acknowledging your contributions — maybe they're too focused on their separate lives to appreciate what you're bringing to the table. Even if people can't see what you're doing yet, keep pushing. Leo July 23 – August 22 Don't run from life! You might feel more pulled to escapist or avoidant pursuits as a way of escaping from the heaviness of reality and reason. When you can temporarily put your mind on hold, it'll be easier to let your sense of fun take the reins. Watch out — whatever you're ignoring may grow bigger in your absence! Try to handle any urgent matters ASAP, or much bigger issues might be waiting once you return to work. Life's calling, so make sure you answer. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Which way? You might feel trapped within a situation right now, feeling as though there is a labyrinth of confusing paths stretching in every possible direction. Perhaps you agreed to something before you understood the terms and conditions, or you could have gotten emotionally attached to someone before realizing who they truly were. While such things make for tricky webs to break free from, don't give up on yourself! Always remember who you were before you were entangled. You'll fly to freedom yet again. Libra September 23 – October 22 Listen to your heart. Someone could be insisting that you keep your feelings inside, because expressing yourself would make it uncomfortable for them. They could also try to make you feel a way that you don't, so much so that you start to doubt your true feelings. You may be spending too much time with someone who has strong opinions about how you should and should not perceive your emotions. Spending time alone should help you to get back in touch with your soul. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Habits can take you to places you never expected. If you've tapped into good habits in the recent past, you may look in the mirror now and see someone happier, stronger, or healthier than you remember seeing before. On the other hand, if you've fallen into indulging in habits that aren't so good for your mind or body, you could look in the mirror and have the opposite realization. Your daily habits eventually become your legacy, so make sure that you approve of them. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 Analyzing the pros and cons of a current situation could be tougher than it sounds. As you attempt to weigh your options, your scale might not be providing the right reading. You may want something so badly that you ignore any red flags that crop up. Maybe something is so intimidating that you refuse to acknowledge the positive effects that it could have. A healthy dose of realism is needed to make the right decisions, so come back down to earth. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Others may distort how you see yourself. You might be trying to fit in, whether with your family, a long-standing group of friends, or potential roommates. Any group could start telling you who you are rather than seeing you for who you are. Instead of allowing them to label you, reinforce your identity through your words and actions at every opportunity. Others should never write your story for you! You're the author, so make sure you're making the final decisions about what fills your pages. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Expressing yourself is one thing — doing so accurately is quite another. You could find that you're tripping over your words, babbling so much that you end up saying very little coherently. Getting your point across to anyone will be quite complicated. You may think that you've explained your ideas or emotions in the best way possible, but misunderstandings still abound. Try to be as straightforward as you can, and don't muddy the waters by saying more than needs to be said. Pisces February 19 – March 20 Security can be hard to find today. It might be one of those days when you just can't seem to figure out what's going on, as others could be acting in confusing or shocking ways around you. A lack of preparation could also have left you feeling insecure or exposed. Instead of broadcasting that you are feeling unsure of yourself, fake it until you make it — just don't make any promises that you won't be able to tackle. Lay low if you can!

Mama Cat 'Too Busy Serving Face' To Nurse Is Such a Mood
Mama Cat 'Too Busy Serving Face' To Nurse Is Such a Mood originally appeared on Parade Pets. Being a parent is a nonstop, 24/7 thrill ride that leaves little room for non-children-related things, especially when they're young and needy and you're exhausted. It almost feels like the most stressful (but exciting!) roller-coaster ride with no off-ramp — just ups and downs forever! That's why it's important to practice self-care whenever possible, whatever that means. For one mama cat named Luna, the self-care option she chose on this particular day is small, but necessary for keeping her sanity. Just 10 seconds of zoning out could mean the difference between holding herself together... or not. And you know what? Good for her! Anyone with kids can probably recognize that spaced-out expression because it's universal. The fatigue from no sleep and caring for little ones day and night really wears on parents, so if Luna needs a moment to go blank, let her! The tiny kitten, which is one of three, is doing just fine. Her name is Rosie, and she's Mommy's little copy + paste baby who loves to snuggle up. Sure, Luna took a few beats to melt her stress away, but Rosie knows Mom will be there to care for her whenever she snaps out of it! The now-viral video of Mom and baby gained a lot of traction in a short time, and I think it's because it really is that relatable! More than 13k people took to the comments to support Luna, and some are off-the-wall hilarious."Hold on, Dear, there's a camera," one person joked. "God forbid a girl continues to be a baddie even with kids," another wrote. "Mother AIN'T mothering today," another fan added. With beauty like hers, you can't expect Luna to stop delivering. She can't, and she won't. It's her gift to the world, whether her children appreciate that or not. Besides, she does an amazing job providing for her babies and has since the day they entered the world. Rosie will understand one day that she has a model for a mother and sometimes serving face is necessary. Her identity can be both mother AND diva, OK? For all the parents going through what Luna's going through, hang in there. They don't stay little forever, but you still need those small moments for yourself. Whether you use it to serve the camera with your gift or hide in the bathroom for 5 minutes to collect yourself, you do you! 🐶🐾🐾 Mama Cat 'Too Busy Serving Face' To Nurse Is Such a Mood first appeared on Parade Pets on Jul 26, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Jul 26, 2025, where it first appeared.

Be kind to yourself, be more kind to yourself. Make more time with the people you love,' the actress said. 'Sana ma-realize din ng makakapanood nito na there are people like Luna na akala niyo malakas, akala niyo strong, pero sila 'yung mas nangangailangan ng kalinga, na kailangan ng shoulder to cry on kasi minsan, sila din, hindi na nila kaya, gusto rin nila gumive up,' she added. Additionally, 'P77' also asks the question: are demons the ones that are made up or ones in real life? 'P77' premieres in cinemas on July 30. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
