When asked yesterday if August 1 was firm, President Trump said “I would say firm, but not 100 percent firm. If they call up and say they would like to do something in a different way, we’re going to be open to that.”

Dept. of Veterans Affairs says it is on pace to reduce workforce by 30k by the end of the fiscal year. “VA has multiple safeguards in place to ensure these staff reductions do not impact Veteran care or benefits,” the agency says.

President Trump signs executive order that directs Interior Department to increase entry fees at national parks for foreign tourists and “take steps to improve services and affordability for United States residents visiting national parks.”

RT @foxnewsradio: #FoxNewsRundown: Evening Edition #podcast. Evening Edition: A 'Big Beautiful Bill' heads to President Trump's desk. @real….

"No, I didn't make any progress with him at all," President Trump says about his call with Putin and ending the war in Ukraine.

Sound up: House Republicans delivered the “one big beautiful bill” before President Trump’s July 4th deadline. My @foxnewsradio report this afternoon.

WH: President Trump will sign the "big, beautiful bill" at 5pm tomorrow.

With two Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition, the House gives final passage to President Trump's "one big beautiful bill" 218-214. The President is expected to sign it tomorrow.

RT @ajconwashington: Jeffries ended his record-breaking speech with references to John Lewis and “good trouble”.

Democrats, filling the chamber, clap, cheer and chant "Hakeem" as Jeffries makes his way back to his seat. Vote on passing the "big, beautiful bill" is imminent.

"I yield back," Democratic Leader Jeffries says, ending a nearly nine hour floor speech that began at 4:53am.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries' floor speech hits 8 hours and 33 minutes, eclipsing the previous record floor speech set by former GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy in 2021.

Still a ways to go if the intention is to best Kevin McCarthy's record-setting 8 and a half hour "magic minute" from 2021.
