Trump lands first major legislative win after Congress passes his massive domestic policy bill
WASHINGTON — Republican lawmakers have handed President Donald Trump the first major legislative achievement of his second term, following a fierce arm-twisting campaign by GOP leaders to unite a deeply divided party behind his sweeping domestic agenda.House Republicans voted Thursday afternoon to approve Trump’s massive package of tax and federal spending cuts and funding boosts for the Pentagon and border security, clearing the bill to be sent to the White House for his signature. The Senate passed the bill earlier in the week.The landmark victory for Republicans comes just six months into Trump’s second administration – a rapid timeline that appeared in question up until the final vote. The president and his Capitol Hill allies ratcheted up pressure on party holdouts in recent...

‘Morally repugnant’: US Cardinal hits out at Trump’s immigration policy
ROME — A prominent Catholic Church leader and ally of Pope Leo XIV has strongly criticized the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, describing the rounding up and deportation of immigrants as “inhumane” and “morally repugnant.” In a wide-ranging interview with CNN, Cardinal Robert McElroy, the Archbishop of Washington, DC, also voiced strong opposition to Trump’s major tax and spending bill, warned of the risks of US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and discussed his view of the role of women in the church. “It’s right to be able to control our borders. However, what’s going on now is something far beyond that,” the cardinal told CNN on Tuesday. “It is a mass, indiscriminate deportation of men and women and children and families which literally rips...

US Supreme Court allows Trump to deport migrants held in Djibouti to South Sudan
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport to South Sudan a group of migrants who have been held for weeks on a military base in Djibouti.The high court’s unsigned order came days after a majority of justices allowed the administration to deport certain migrants to countries other than their homeland with little notice. But that June 23 decision kicked off a legal skirmish about the specific group of migrants being held in Djibouti.A lower court had put their removal back on hold, prompting the Trump administration to race up to the Supreme Court. The court’s decision Thursday sided with the administration, over the dissent of two liberal justices, and allowed officials to remove the migrants at issue to South Sudan.The...

'Diddy' denied bail after being cleared of most serious charges
NEW YORK — A judge has denied bail to Sean "Diddy" Combs after a jury convicted the hip-hop mogul of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted him of the most serious charges: racketeering and sex-trafficking.Lawyers for the recording artist had argued he posed no flight risk, pointing out his jet is being chartered in Hawaii.But Judge Arun Subramanian cited Combs' history of violence as he ruled the rapper must remain behind bars until sentencing later this year when he faces up to 20 years in prison.In the nearly two-month federal trial in New York City, prosecutors accused Combs of using his celebrity status and business empire to run a criminal enterprise to sex traffic women.A panel of 12 jurors deliberated for 13 hours before acquitting Combs of three of...

Trump warns ‘spoiled’ Japan may not get a US trade deal
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump cast doubt on reaching a trade deal with Japan, a day after threatening higher tariffs on Japanese exports to the United States, claiming the country won’t buy American rice.“We’ve dealt with Japan. I’m not sure if we’re gonna make a deal, I doubt it, with Japan,” he told reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday. “They and others are so spoiled from having ripped us off for 30, 40 years that it’s really hard for them to make a deal.”As July 9, the end of the 90-day pause on Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs,” approaches, US trade partners including Japan are looking to strike deals that they hope will appease the American president. Japanese exports to the US were hit with a 24% levy when Trump launched his global tariff offensive on...
