WWW.FOXNEWS.COMSCOOP: House Republican eyes bid for Thom Tillis Senate seat after Trump attackFIRST ON FOX: A first-term House Republican and military veteran is eyeing a bid for Sen. Thom Tillis' North Carolina Senate seat after the GOP lawmaker announced he would not run for re-election, a source close to the congressman told Fox News Digital.Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., a former Army Special Forces Officer who was deployed to Afghanistan, was elected to represent North Carolina's 10th congressional district in November 2024.It comes after President Donald Trump pledged to find a primary challenger for Tillis over the senator's decision to vote "no" on a key procedural hurdle to advance the commander-in-chief's "big, beautiful bill."SENATE REPUBLICANS RAM TRUMP'S BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL THROUGH KEY TEST VOTEHarrigan was elected to replace former House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry, R-N.C.He's among the first to express interest in Tillis' seat in what could shape up into a crowded Republican primary race ahead of the 2026 midterms.Tillis revealed he would not run for re-election in a bombshell statement on Sunday afternoon, criticizing the current political environment."Too many elected officials are motivated by pure raw politics who really don't give a damn about thepeople theypromised to represent on the campaign trail. After they get elected, they don't bother to do the hard work to research the policies they seek to implement and understand the consequences thosepolicies could have on that young adult living in a trailer park, struggling to make ends meet," Tillis said."As many of my colleagues have noticed over the last year, and attimes even jokedabout, I haven't exactly been excited about running for anotherterm. That is true since the choice is between spending another six years navigatingthe political theatre and partisan gridlock in Washington or spending that time with the love of my life Susan, our two children, three beautiful grandchildren, and the rest of our extended family back home."The statement came on the second continuous day that senators are wrestling with the "one big, beautiful bill," a vast piece of legislation advancing Trump's agenda on tax, immigration, energy, defense, and the national debt.TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' FACES REPUBLICAN FAMILY FEUD AS SENATE REVEALS ITS FINAL TEXTTillis said he had objections to the bill's spending cuts targeting Medicaid, arguing they would be damaging to rural communities and hospitals in North Carolina.The senate voted 51-49 to begin debate on the legislation late on Saturday. Tillis and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., were the only two Republicans to vote "no."Trump posted on Saturday, "Numerous people have come forward wanting to run in the primary against 'Senator Thom' Tillis. I will be meeting with them over the coming weeks, looking for someone who will properly represent the Great People of North Carolina and, so importantly, the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"0 Comments 0 Shares 20 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMMike Lee preemptively drops 'big beautiful bill' provision to sell federal lands that riled GOP colleaguesUtah Republican Sen. Mike Lee preemptively withdrew a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on Saturday evening that would have allowed for the sale of federal lands for development after widespread outrage among his conservative colleagues."Over the past several weeks, I've spent a lot of time listening to members of the community, local leaders, and stakeholders across the country. While there has been a tremendous amount of misinformation and in some cases, outright lies about my bill, many people brought forward sincere concerns," Lee said in a message posted to his X account on Saturday evening.Lee, who chairs the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said he pulled the provision after he failed to secure "safeguards to guarantee that these lands would be sold only to American families," and not to China or corporations. The Senate parliamentarian ruled on Monday that the provision's original language did not comply with strict rules related to what could be included in reconciliation legislation, with Lee's office resubmitting the provision with new language before pulling it altogether on Saturday evening.Lee said he maintains his long-held position that the U.S. government owns too much land that is often mismanaged and leaves Americans, most notably in Western states, with higher tax burdens.HOUSE GOP LEADERSHIP TAKES VICTORY LAP AFTER PASSING TRUMPS ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL"I continue to believe the federal government owns far too much land land it is mismanaging and in many cases ruining for the next generation," Lee wrote in his post. "Under Democratic presidents, massive swaths of the West are being locked away from the people who live there, with no meaningful recourse."Lee had included a mandate for sales of millions of acres of federal lands in a draft provision of the tax cut package earlier this month. He preemptively pulled the provision on Saturday ahead of a procedural vote, as a handful of Republican lawmakers in both chambers publicly denounced the provision and said they would vote against the bill if it was included."Weve got the votes to strike it," Montana Sen. Steve Daines said Thursday of Lee's provision. "Were ready."SENATE GOP AIMS TO APPROVE MAJOR LEGISLATION NEXT WEEK AS TRUMP TOUTS PARTY UNITY"I agree with my colleagues that the federal government has mismanaged federal lands for decades. But I dont agree with their solution. The solution is not to sell public lands. The solution is better management. Lets send legislation to POTUS desk to improve management and access. I remain a no on the senate reconciliation bill," Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke posted to X last week ahead of Lee pulling the provision. Zinke served as President Donald Trump's secretary of the Department of the Interior during his first administration."The people of Idaho have been clear we do NOT support the sale of our public lands to the highest bidder. I am proud to help lead the effort to remove this provision from the One Big Beautiful Bill," Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch posted to X after Lee said he would pull the provision.MIKE JOHNSON, DONALD TRUMP GET BIG, 'BEAUTIFUL WIN AS BUDGET PASSES HOUSELawmakers are on a tight 4th of July deadline to get the legislation, which will advance Trump's agenda on taxes, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt, to the president's desk. Senate Republicans successfully carried the legislation over a procedural hurdle late on Saturday after hours of negotiations.Fox News Digital's Alex Miller and Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.0 Comments 0 Shares 21 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDem delay tactic ends, debate begins on Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'Senate Democrats delay tactic has finally come to a close, but Senate Republicans are still a ways out from voting on President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful bill."Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., forced clerks on the Senate floor to read aloud the entirety of the Senate GOPs version of Trumps megabill on Saturday. In all, reading the 940-page legislative behemoth bled well into Sunday and took nearly 16 hours.SENATE REPUBLICANS RAM TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' THROUGH KEY TEST VOTESchumer announced that he would be forcing the clerks to read the bill ahead of the ultimately successful, albeit drama-filled, procedural vote. And after forcing the reading of the bill, he said on X, "Republicans are squirming.""I know damn well they haven't read the bill, so were going to make them," he said.Its an oft-unused strategy Schumer and Senate Democrats deployed as part of the pain campaign against Republicans, who have iced them out from having input on the presidents agenda.SCHUMER FORCES READING OF TRUMP'S ENTIRE 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' AS SENATE BRACES FOR ALL-NIGHTERThe last time Senate clerks were forced to read the entirety of a bill on the floor was in 2021, when Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., similarly objected and demanded that former President Joe Bidens American Rescue Act be read aloud.Now with the reading dispensed, lawmakers will trudge onward with 20 hours of debate evenly divided between both Democrats and Republicans. Senate Democrats are expected to squeeze every second from their allotted time, while Senate Republicans will likely only use a couple of hours at most.That time on the GOP side will be used by those already critical of the bill, like Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. While his support for final passage is unlikely, he is not the only headache that Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., may have to worry about.KEY GOP SENATOR DEFECTS ON CRUCIAL VOTE, IMPERILING TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' IN NARROW MAJORITYSen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., is unlikely to change his mind and vote for final passage despite Trump bashing him on social media and threatening a primary challenger unless substantial changes are made to the Medicaid adjustments in the bill.Tillis further steeled his resolve against the bill when he announced his retirement from Washington at the end of his term, opting against a likely grueling primary battle.Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who supported the legislation through the first test, also wants to see real changes to the Medicaid provider tax rate.Then there are the fiscal hawks who held the vote hostage on Saturday night as they negotiated with Thune, with the help of Vice President JD Vance, to get an amendment to make changes to the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP), which is the amount that the federal government pays for Medicaid to each state.Changes to FMAP are not popular among most Senate Republicans, save for fiscal hawks looking for steeper cuts in the colossal bill.0 Comments 0 Shares 21 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMGOP, Dem senators remain divided over Medicaid after Trumps big, beautiful bill voteSenate Republicans and Democrats remain divided on the Medicaid issue hours after President Donald Trumps "big, beautiful bill" passed a key Senate vote Saturday night.Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., and Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., both appeared on "Fox News Sunday" to discuss Trumps legislation in the wake of the 51-49 vote.Banks argued that the Medicaid reforms would only affect certain people."The Medicaid reforms would affect able-bodied Americans, those who are sitting at home who can work, who don't work, who don't have a sick kid or a sick mom, they shouldn't receive Medicaid without working," he said. "And on top of that, the bill would take Medicaid away from illegal immigrants."SENATE REPUBLICANS RAM TRUMP'S BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL THROUGH KEY TEST VOTECoons conceded there are states that are using their state funding to provide healthcare "for people who are undocumented," though argued that Trumps $900 billion cuts to the program "are not about throwing people off of Medicaid who are not here legally.""They are about imposing more and more requirements on the beneficiaries of Medicaid," the Democrat said.Banks argued that taxes for everyday Americans will go up if the bill doesnt get passed."If we don't pass this bill, everyone's taxes on average will go up $2,000 a household, and that's not fair to the regular Americans who work hard every day," he said.Lingering concerns in both chambers about Medicaid specifically the Medicaid provider tax rate and the effect of direct payments to states energy tax credits, the state and local tax (SALT) deduction and others proved to be pain points that threatened the bills survival.TRUMP, LAWMAKERS REACT AFTER BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL CLEARS SENATE HURDLECoons, however, said that Americans who dont believe the Democrats standpoint should listen to Sen. Tom Tillis, R-N.C., who, along with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted against the bill."Don't believe me. Listen to Senator Tom Tillis," Coons said. "He's been saying loudlythis bill is a bad deal for the middle class. It'll raise healthcare costs and throw millions off of needed health care."On Sunday morning, Trump slammed both Tillis and Paul on social media.Hours later, Tillis announced he would not seek reelection.Following the vote, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., demanded that the text of the behemoth bill be read aloud before debates begin. After 14 hours, Senate clerks were still about 120 pages short of finishing reading aloud the 940-page text.Once the reading is finished, the two parties will each get about 10 hours to debate on the bill.The timeline puts a likely Senate vote-a-rama on the bill in the early morning hours of Monday. A final passage vote could happen between late morning and late Monday night.Fox News Digitals Alex Miller and Fox News Tyler Olson contributed to this report.0 Comments 0 Shares 24 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMEx-NFL star throws cold water on Shedeur Sanders' Browns starting QB hopesFormer NFL star wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh offered his take on the Cleveland Browns quarterback situation as training camps are weeks away from opening.The Browns selected Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in the draft and added them to a roster that already included Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. Its unclear who is the frontrunner to win the job. But Houshmandzadeh pointed out two players he believed were ahead in the competition.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"I was told from somebody that is in the building that aint a player, its really coming down to Kenny Pickett or Dillon Gabriel," the former Cincinnati Bengals star said on Friday on "Nightcap." "Thats what I was told. But now when you get the reports that Shedeurs completing seven out of nine passes is it against starters?"Or is it against the threes and the fours, the guys that are going to get released? So it seems impressive when you see the graphic, but is it really if its not against the starters or guys that are going to be on the team?"BOSTON SPORTS RADIO HOSTS UNLOAD ON AARON RODGERS OVER FINAL NFL SEASON REVELATIONFlacco had success with the Browns in the past, but may not be the long-term answer that Cleveland is looking for. Pickett was relegated to a backup role last season with the Philadelphia Eagles after he started some games for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022 and 2023.Gabriel was a standout quarterback for the Oregon Ducks and other teams before the Browns selected him. Sanders draft slide lasted until the third day, when Cleveland selected him. However, Sanders has already had some issue with the law since getting to Cleveland.Theres still a lot to be decided before the Browns begin their season against the Bengals.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.0 Comments 0 Shares 24 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMNew satellite imagery shows ongoing activity at Iran's Fordow nuclear complex after US airstrikesRecent satellite imagery has revealed ongoing activity and fresh evidence of significant damage to tunnels and access roads at Irans underground Fordow uranium enrichment site caused by last weeks airstrikes.The facility was targeted by Israeli forces on June 23, one day after the U.S. carried out strikes using bunker-buster bombs.The new high-resolution satellite imagery, collected by Maxar Technologies, shows an excavator and several personnel positioned immediately next to the northern shaft on the ridge above the underground complex.The crane also appears to be operating at the entrance to the shaft, where several additional vehicles are seen below the ridge, parked along the access path that was built to access the site.US STRIKES SET IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM BACK 'MANY YEARS,' ISRAELI ASSESSMENT FINDSMaxars photos also reveal the complete destruction of a facility north of the site, surrounded by more craters and scattered dust. One more crater and visible burn marks are seen on a western access route.Analysts believe the primary goal of the strikes was to hinder access to the sites and complicate repair efforts.US AIRSTRIKES LEAVE A MARK ON IRANS NUCLEAR SITES, MAXAR SATELLITE IMAGES REVEALBoth the United States and Israel have stated that these military actions were aimed at hindering Irans ability to develop a nuclear weapon. Iran has rejected these accusations, maintaining that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful.The Fordow site, which is buried within a mountain near Qom, about 60 miles southwest of Tehran, was bombed by the U.S. on June 22, resulting in six prominent craters and a noticeable spread of grey debris, according to satellite photos.IRANS FORDOW NUCLEAR SITE STRUCK SECOND TIME AS IDF TARGETS ACCESS ROUTESOn the following day, Israel confirmed it had conducted a second strike on Fordow, specifically targeting the roads leading to the facility. Iranian officials later acknowledged this attack.Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters during a Pentagon briefing last Sunday that while all three Iranian nuclear sites targeted in the strike "sustained extremely severe damage and destruction," the full damage would take time to assess.The latest strike on Fordow comes as the Israel Defense Forces said Israel also launched a series of strikes targeting the notorious Evin prison and several Iranian military command centers in an "ongoing effort to degrade the Iranian regimes military capabilities."Fox News' Stephen Sorace and Yonat Friling contributed to this report.0 Comments 0 Shares 21 Views 0 Reviews

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMDemocratic socialist candidate for NYC mayor a 'gift to Republican Party,' GOP lawmaker saysRep. Riley Moore, R-W.V., said Sunday that Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, who won New York City's mayoral primary, is a "gift to the Republican Party," because other candidates would have to distance themselves from him during the upcoming election cycle."Hes talking about government-run grocery stores, free transportation, jacking up tax prices. If you live in West Palm Beach, Florida, your property value is about to skyrocket, likely," Moore said during CNN's "State of the Union," in reference to Mamdani. "To me, this is a gift to the Republican Party because this guy is going to be a lightning rod that theyre going to have to distance themselves from, in the upcoming election cycle."CNN's Jake Tapper asked Moore if there was something for Republican candidates to worry about with regard to Mamdani's victory. Mamdami defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary last week."Now, what I think happened here is what you saw with Clinton, Obama-flashback to that primary, is that the establishment was just trying to roll over and get what they want and push a unpopular person, such as Cuomo, back into politics, and they just rejected it. They keep running this same kind of playbook, and I think thats what it has more to do with," Moore continued.CITY-RUN GROCERY STORES, DEFUNDING POLICE, SAFE INJECTION SITES: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT NYC'S NEXT POTENTIAL MAYORCNN commentator Ashley Allison said Democrats needed to help Mamdani govern, but acknowledged that he'd made problematic statements."I think that there was an effective and aggressive no-to-Cuomo campaign, which opened for whoever was in that primary to find their lane. And Mamdani was the one who found his lane and is now the Democratic nominee. Democrats, when people win our primaries, support them, help him govern. Dont turn your back on them," she said."We are the big tent party, at least we used to be. So theres enough space for all of us. Dont let him become mayor and then just turn your back on him, help him govern. I am disappointed that more Democrats havent. There are some things that he says that I find problematic, but Donald Trump is our president and a lot of people support him, and he said a lot of things that are problematic too, so we can find our way around things and hold people accountable while still supporting them to be good mayors," Allison continued.WHAT MAMDANI'S STUNNING PRIMARY VICTORY MEANS FOR DEMOCRATS NATIONWIDECLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREMamdani, whose campaign galvanized supporters on the ground and on social media, has proposed what conservatives deem radical ideas, like government-run grocery stores, free bus service, tuition-free city universities, rent freezes and free childcare, among others.The socialist candidate was endorsed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.Mamdani criticized capitalism during a recent interview on CNN.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"No, I have many critiques of capitalism," he said in response to host Erin Burnett's question about whether he liked it."And I think, ultimately, the definition for me of why I call myself a democratic socialist is the words of Dr. [Martin Luther] King decades ago. He said, call it democracy, call it democratic socialism.' There must be a better distribution of wealth for all of Gods children in this country," he said. "And that's what I'm focused on is dignity and taking on income inequality. And for too long, politicians have pretended that we're spectators to that crisis of affordability. We're actually actors, and we have the choice to exacerbate it, like Mayor [Eric] Adams has done, or to respond to it and resolve it like I'm planning to do."0 Comments 0 Shares 21 Views 0 Reviews
