BIG WIN for President Trump | Senate PASSES the ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’ by NARROW 51-49 Majority

Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill has cleared a key Senate hurdle with a narrow 51–49 vote, advancing to final debate.

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ In CRISIS As Vance Steps In To Break Republican Senate Deadlock [Video]

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ In CRISIS As Vance Steps In To Break Republican Senate Deadlock

Donald Trump’s flagship legislative proposal, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," faces a dramatic standoff in the U.S. Senate as three Republican senators—Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and Thom Tillis—oppose it, forcing Vice President JD Vance to step in for a potential tie-breaking vote. The White House has called failure to pass the bill “the ultimate betrayal.” The bill, touted by Trump as a landmark achievement, needs a simple majority to pass, but GOP defections now threaten its future. With the Senate split and time running out before the July 4 deadline, Vance’s decisive vote could seal the fate of Trump’s legislative agenda. As Republicans wrestle with internal dissent, questions swirl over the bill’s substance, timing, and rushed delivery. Trump has publicly urged lawmakers to stop “grandstanding” and deliver results to the American people, branding the bill as “phenomenal” and necessary for the nation's future. #TrumpBigBeautifulBill #JdVanceTiebreaker #TrumpSenateVote #RonJohnson #RandPaul #ThomTillis #GOPDefection #SenateShowdown #TrumpLegislation #TrumpPromise #WhiteHouseStatement #RepublicanSenators #TrumpVanceBill #TrumpJuly4Deadline #TiebreakerVote #TrumpBillFail #TrumpBillSupport #OneBeautifulBill #PromisesMadePromisesKept #SenateRepublicans ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.125~

Can Pope Leo Xiv Lose US Citizenship After Becoming Vatican’s American-Born Head Of State?US-Vatican

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status. #PopeLeoXIV #VaticanCity #USCitizenship #RobertPrevost #AmericanPope #HolySee #CatholicChurch #PapalElection #DualCitizenship #VaticanNews #USLaw #CitizenshipReview #PopeAndPolitics #ChurchAndState #PeterSpiro #PapalHistory #PeruCitizenship #ConstitutionalLaw #USStateDepartment #InternationalLaw ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.122~

Lavrov REJECTS Pope's Offer To Host Russia-Ukraine Talks, Calls Vatican 'Unsuitable…' For Mediation

Amid escalating global interest in resolving the Russia–Ukraine war, Pope Leo XIV offered the Vatican as a neutral ground for the next round of peace negotiations. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni confirmed the Pope’s willingness. However, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the offer, claiming the Vatican is unsuitable as a platform, citing religious concerns and Ukraine’s persecution of the Orthodox Church. Lavrov also mentioned that Moscow’s draft peace memorandum is nearly ready, but there is no clarity yet on when the next round of talks might occur. #RussiaUkraineWar #Lavrov #VaticanPeaceTalks #PopeLeoXIV #UkraineCrisis #PeaceNegotiations #GiorgiaMeloni #OrthodoxChurch #CatholicChurch #RussiaUkraineConflict #LavrovStatement #PeaceDeal #VaticanOfferRejected #WarMediation #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #UkraineOrthodoxChurch #PopeLeoPeace #InternationalDiplomacy #HolySee Also Read Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov Warns Against Nuclear Conflict in UN Speech Targeting the West :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-nuclear-capacity-un-speech-west-011-3947317.html?ref=DMDesc Russia's Lavrov Engages Guinea in Diplomatic Outreach Amid Cooling Western Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-foreign-minister-lavrov-africa-visit-guinea-011-3841367.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, North Korea Deepen Ties Amid Arms Deal Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-north-korea-talks-amid-arms-deal-concerns-gen-3728289.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~GR.125~
