The House of Representatives passed President Donald Trump’s ambitious tax and spending package by a razor-thin margin early Thursday, with a 215-214-1 vote, narrowly beating Speaker Mike Johnson’s Memorial Day target. Two Republicans, Reps. Warren Davidson of Ohio and Thomas Massie of Kentucky, broke ranks and voted alongside every Democrat. Meanwhile, Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland abstained by voting “present,” effectively enabling the measure to pass.
With House approval secured, the bill now heads to the Senate for its next hurdle.

These price changes are expected to roll out by June 1, roughly four weeks before the full implementation of Trump’s tariff plan.

Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman has filed a criminal complaint with the police against Rav Yitzchok Yosef, the former Sephardic chief rabbi, along with several senior chareidi rabbinic figures. The complaint centers around their open calls urging bochurim in yeshivos to refuse orders to report for IDF service—actions Liberman says blatantly break the law.
Speaking to The Times of Israel, Lieberman explained that he had twice appealed to the Attorney General and the national police to take legal action against these prominent rabbonim. “If there is no response to the second letter, then we will turn to the High Court of Justice,” he said at a press briefing held before Yisrael Beytenu’s weekly Knesset gathering.
