After a long wait, the Senate is launching action on President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” of tax breaks and spending cuts at a risky moment for the U.S. and global economy. More than a month after House Republicans surprised Washington by advancing their framework for Trump’s tax breaks and spending cuts package, Senate Republicans voted Thursday to start working on their version. The 52-48 vote sets the stage for back-to-back Senate all-nighters spilling into Friday and the weekend. But work on the multitrillion-dollar package is coming as markets at home and abroad are on edge in the aftermath Trump’s vast tariffs scheme, complicating an already difficult political and procedural undertaking.

Due to a critical shortage of corrections officers, New York state will begin releasing some prisoners ahead of schedule, just weeks after more than 2,000 guards were terminated for participating in a strike over poor working conditions.
Corrections Commissioner Daniel Martuscello issued a directive to prison officials instructing them to compile a list of inmates who were convicted of lesser offenses and are already scheduled to be released in the next 15 to 110 days, so they can be evaluated for early release.
According to the state’s Department of Corrections, individuals found guilty of sex offenses, violent crimes, or serious felonies—such as arson, terrorism, or murder—will not qualify for the early release initiative.

A former top aide to former President Biden’s 2020 campaign declared she felt “lied to” over bombshell revelations that Biden was “fatigued, befuddled, and disengaged” in the days leading up to Biden’s disastrous performance in the June presidential debate, where he squared off against Donald Trump. Ashley Allison, who served as a senior official on the Biden-Harris campaign, voiced her fury on CNN Wednesday, following the release of excerpts from journalist Chris Whipple’s forthcoming book. The most damning of those excerpts includes testimony from former Biden White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, who reportedly said he was “startled” by Biden’s exhaustion and that the president seemed “out of it.” “Do you feel lied to?” host Abby Phillip asked. “Yes,” Allison responded.
