Movement on the bill is a big win for Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson,after hardline Republican conservatives blocked the bill from clearing the House Budget Committee last week over a dispute involving spending cuts to the Medicaid healthcare program for lower-income Americans and the repeal of green energy tax credits. Lawmakers held a rare Sunday session:Four hardline members of the committee's 21 Republicans allowed the legislation to advance by voting "present" Sunday. All Democrats voted against it. How Trump swayed hold-outs: The White House pivoted over the weekend to sell the bill as a key part of Trump's immigration enforcement efforts. What it would mean for Americans:Families of four making as little as $35,365 would see new costs for going to the doctor, some unemployed people would become ineligible for Medicaid, some seniors would lose access to long-term care coverage, and states would lose a portion of federal dollars that help them cover those just above the poverty line. Officials are investigating what caused a Mexican navy tall ship to veer off course and strike the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday, killing two sailors and injuring more than a dozen others on board. Videos shared online captured the training vessel Cuauhtémoc sailing toward the iconic bridge, which connects the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The ship's 147-foot masts, which were shining bright with decorative lights, couldn't clear the arched bridge and were sheared off upon impact. Naval cadets dressed in white uniforms could be seen dangling from the ship's crossbeams.Meanwhile,bystanders fled in terror. Despite a shaky start,Scottie Scheffler wonthe PGA Championship.
