Reporter's Notebook: Recalling an American WWII hero who helped fight off Nazi forces during Normandy invasion

The Senate is deep into a marathon voting session on Trump’s sweeping tax and immigration bill, which has now stretched past 24 hours. Meanwhile, Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made a showy appearance at a controversial detention center in the Everglades—dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz"—where DeSantis claimed harsh conditions would force immigrants to "self-deport." The bill itself includes tax cuts, aggressive deportation measures, and a last-minute amendment to block unemployment benefits for millionaires.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another day in Washington—it’s a high-stakes political spectacle with real consequences. The bill could reshape tax policy and immigration enforcement, while the theatrics around the Everglades detention center highlight the administration’s hardline stance. The amendment targeting jobless millionaires adds a layer of irony, but the bigger picture here is the relentless push to pass a polarizing package that’ll ripple through American lives.

Day two at Wimbledon 2025 is packed with action: Zverev battles through his match, while Sinner and Swiatek dominate with ease. Meanwhile, Pegula’s early exit adds a surprise twist. Off the court, security concerns linger, and Tommy Paul’s shaky start keeps fans on edge.

Editor’s Note: Wimbledon’s always a mix of drama and dominance—top seeds cruising, underdogs stumbling, and off-court chatter (like security worries) reminding us it’s more than just forehands and volleys. For tennis fans, it’s the perfect blend of predictability and chaos.

Lululemon is taking Costco to court, claiming the bulk retailer is selling knockoff versions of its high-end athletic wear. The lawsuit argues that Costco’s products—like yoga jackets—are so similar to Lululemon’s that shoppers might accidentally think they’re buying the real deal.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a spat between two big brands—it’s a fight over how far retailers can go in mimicking popular products before it crosses into legal trouble. For shoppers, it raises questions about what’s really behind those "lookalike" deals, and for brands, it’s a warning shot about protecting their designs. If Lululemon wins, it could make other discount retailers think twice about selling dupes.

Elon Musk is stirring the pot again, this time by threatening to back primary challengers against GOP senators who support Trump's so-called "big, beautiful bill." Fox News asked a few Republican senators about it, and their responses ranged from indifference ("We're ignoring him") to dismissiveness. Basically, they’re not sweating Musk’s political meddling—at least not publicly.

Editor’s Note: Musk’s influence in politics is growing, but this shows there’s still a limit. GOP senators aren’t bending to his threats, which hints at a broader tension between tech billionaires and establishment politicians. It’s also a sign that even with Trump’s endorsement, some bills (or the people backing them) aren’t safe from internal party drama.

Senate Republicans are inching closer to a final vote on President Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill after an all-night push to sway reluctant lawmakers. Party leaders are scrambling to meet their July 4 deadline, but it’s been a grind to get everyone on board.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another procedural vote—it’s a high-stakes moment for Trump’s agenda and the GOP’s ability to deliver on promises. If it passes, it could reshape taxes and spending for years. If it stalls, it’ll be a major setback for a party that’s struggled to unify. Either way, the outcome will ripple through midterm elections and beyond.
