Description: Senate Republicans hauled President Donald Trump’s big tax breaks and spending cuts bill to passage Tuesday on the narrowest of votes, pushing past opposition from Democrats and their own GOP ranks after a turbulent overnight session.

Vice President JD Vance broke a 50-50 tie to push it over the top.

The outcome capped an unusually tense weekend of work at the Capitol, the president’s signature legislative priority teetering on the edge of approval, or collapse.

Senate votes on Trump’s big bill stretches: Here's the latest

Title: Senate votes on Trump’s big bill stretches: Here's the latest
Runtime: 2:15
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: The Senate slogged through a tense overnight session that has now dragged into Tuesday morning, with Republican leaders searching for ways to secure support for President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts while fending off proposed amendments, mostly from Democrats trying to defeat the package.

An endgame appeared to be taking shape. Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota spent the night reaching for last-minute agreements between those in his party worried the bill’s reductions to Medicaid will leave millions without care and his most conservative flank, which wants even steeper cuts to hold down deficits ballooning with the tax cuts.

It’s a pivotal moment for the Republicans, who have control of Congress and are racing to wrap up work with just days to go before Trump’s self-imposed July 4 deadline. The 940-page “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” as it’s formally titled, has consumed Congress as its shared priority w...

Description: Aerial footage of the ship.

A father jumped into the ocean to save his young daughter after she fell overboard from a Disney Cruise Line ship on its way back to South Florida, prompting a dramatic rescue at sea, according to passengers, videos posted on social media and a statement from Disney Cruise Line.

The incident happened Sunday aboard the Disney Dream as it sailed between the Bahamas and Fort Lauderdale.

As first reported by The Street, the child went overboard during the final leg of the cruise, and her father immediately leapt in after her. Passengers who spoke with CBS News Miami said he treaded water for more than 10 minutes.

An emergency alert sounded through the ship as crew members launched a rescue boat and tossed life preservers into the water.

"The ship was moving quickly, so quickly, it's crazy how quickly the people became tiny dots in the sea, and then you lost sight of them. The captain slowed the sh...

Runtime: 2:22
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: President Donald Trump’s big bill to cut taxes and reduce federal spending on some social safety net programs could have large implications for states, but for many it’s too late to do much about it this year.

Tuesday marks the start of a new budget year in 46 states. Though some legislatures are still working, most already have adjourned and finalized their spending plans without knowing whether federal funding will be cut and, if so, by how much.

“The ebb and flow of rumors and reality have created great uncertainty and some anxiety in state governments,” said David Adkins, executive director of The Council of State Governments.

Several states have taken preemptive steps, setting aside money in reserves or tasking committees to monitor the impact of federal funding reductions. Others are tentatively planning to return in special sessions this year to account for potential funding cuts to joint federal-state programs such as Medicaid and ...

Coeur d'Alene police and firefighters ambushed responding to fire in Idaho

Title: Coeur d'Alene police and firefighters ambushed responding to fire in Idaho
Runtime: 4:01
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: Authorities say two firefighters were killed and another was badly injured after they were ambushed and shot while responding to a wildfire near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Here's what to know about Sunday's attack, the investigation and next steps.

Ambush starts with a brush fire
Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said firefighters first responded to an early afternoon report of a brush fire at Canfield Mountain, a popular and scenic hiking and biking area near the outskirts of town. But once the firefighters arrived, someone began shooting at them.

The fire was set to lure the firefighters into an ambush, Norris said.

“These firefighters did not have a chance,” he said.

Law enforcement officials responded, locking down the neighborhoods near the hiking area and trying to find the shooter in hilly terrain that had plenty of cover, with thick brush and trees and smoke from the fire nearby.

Runtime: 0:47
Date posted: 1 year ago
Description: After a weekend of setbacks, the Senate is trying to sprint ahead Monday on President Donald Trump's big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts despite a series of challenges, including the sudden announcement from one GOP senator that he won't run for reelection after opposing the package over its Medicaid health care cuts.

An all-night session to consider an endless stream of proposed amendments to the package, in what's called a vote-a-rama, was abruptly postponed, but it's now underway. With Democrats united against the Republican president's legislation and eagerly lined up to challenge it, the voting could take all day.

“It's time to vote,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said the “hardest choices" for Republicans are still to come. His side plans to bring “amendment after amendment after amendment to the floor, so Republicans can defend their billionaire tax cu...

Description: Even in a crowded gym, it’s hard to miss John Thomas.

With his 260-pound muscular frame, neon green mohawk and arsenal of pinstriped workout shorts, Thomas resembles a radioactive cartoon strongman come to life. That’s even before he turns to the side, revealing a head tattoo proclaiming “VEGAN” in block letters.

Thomas, 32, welcomes the attention. The fitness coach and social media influencer has over 85,000 Instagram followers under his account “thebodybuildingvegan.” There, he aims to show how a plant-based diet can benefit both athletic performance and the planet.

Thomas, a Gainesville native, said he first went vegan at age 13 after experiencing bullying. He hasn’t eaten any animal products – including meat, dairy, fish, eggs and honey – since.

Description: “Getting out of the military was a culture shock … it goes from, ‘You’re needed every second of every day’ to ‘you’re needed never,’” he said. “Getting that community, getting that person that you like to work out with as part of a camaraderie event, is my number one end goal for this.”
