It's five hours and counting that House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York has held the floor as he speaks out against President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax breaks and spending cuts bill. Republicans, up all night, are ready to vote on the package Thursday and send it to the White House. But Jeffries is seizing on a leader's prerogative for unlimited debate. GOP leaders were up all night and the president himself worked to persuade skeptical holdouts to drop their opposition. Jeffries is reading letter after letter from Americans writing about their reliance of the health care programs and their worries of devastating cuts.
U.S. employers added 147,000 jobs in June as the American labor market continues to show surprising resilience despite uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s economic policies. The unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1% from 4.2% in May, the Labor Department said Thursday. Hiring rose modestly from a revised 144,000 in May and beat economists expectations of fewer than 118,000 new jobs and a rise in the unemployment rate.
The man accused of killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and wounding a state senator and his wife, is due back in court after a week's delay. Prosecutors allege 57-year-old Vance Boelter carried out the June 14 attacks disguised as a police officer. Authorities say he also targeted other Democrats. Boelter's lawyer argued that he'd been sleep-deprived due to harsh jail conditions, and won a delay in proceedings last week. Boelter could face the federal death penalty, though no decision has been made. The attacks have been described as a political assassination and a threat to democracy.
