Donald Trump claims that the economy will grow as a result of his extensive tax cuts. However, some claim that the bill will cause more money to be owed.
President Donald Trump’s signature policy bill, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” would lower taxes and largely benefit the wealthiest Americans.
Federal spending would be slashed, including those related to student loans, food stamps, and Medicaid, to pay for it. Supporters claim that the bill will create jobs and spur economic growth.
Millions of Americans would be paying the price, claim critics, including some Republicans. The bill’s non-partisan Congressional Budget Office predicts that the debt will total an estimated $3.3 trillion over the course of ten years.

China asserts that it should be involved in the selection process for Tibetan spiritual leaders.
Tibetan Buddhists will have a new spiritual leader, according to the Dalai Lama.
Attention has turned to the delicate subject of his successor as the Nobel Peace Prize laureate approaches 90 years old.
Each Dalai Lama is regarded as a “Living Buddha.” The current one fled to India in 1959 after a failed revolt against Tibetan Communists, and he claims his followers there might be able to find him again.
The Dalai Lama’s veto of his own reincarnation is supported by the United States, who Beijing views as separatist and insists it is a veto.
How will religion and regional politics be weighed against each other in the selection process?
What are the chances of having two Dalai Lamas if it doesn’t work?

Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has assured Donald Trump that Moscow will continue to work toward eradicating the “root causes” of the Ukrainian conflict.
Russian President Yuri Ushakov said to reporters, “Russia will not back down,” despite the fact that Putin had also indicated in his one-hour phone call with Trump that he was “ready to seek a political and negotiated solution to the conflict.”
The Kremlin’s claim that it was forced to invade Ukraine in full-fledged form in 2022 to stop it from joining NATO and being used by the West as a launchpad to attack Russia is shorthand, supported in part by Trump, is known as “root causes,” but rejected by Kyiv and its allies.
The Pentagon reaffirmed that some deliveries of weapons to Kyiv, including precision-guided artillery and air defense missiles, would be stopped, prompting them to make the sixth phone call since Trump began his second term in January. Under President Joe Biden’s leadership, they were promised. Russia’s increased attacks on Ukraine have prompted the announcement.
According to the Kremlin aide, Trump and Putin did not discuss the halted weapons deliveries, saying that the US president had raised the issue of putting an end to the war quickly.
The two leaders agreed to continue speaking even though it was not discussed.
Trump has attempted to mediate the conflict in Ukraine, but he hasn’t made much progress. There was nothing in the Kremlin readout that suggested any change in Putin’s position, despite the fact that he has so far rejected Washington’s request for an unconditional ceasefire. The proposal was approved by Ukraine.
Ushakov argued that any peace negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv needed to take place even though Russia was ready to talk to the US.
In response to some indications that Moscow is attempting to avoid holding any peace negotiations in a trilateral format, he made the comment. Russian negotiators allegedly demanded US diplomats leave the room during an early-June meeting in Istanbul, according to Ukrainian officials.
The last time Putin and Trump spoke on were in mid-June, when Putin offered to serve as the media for the recent 12-day Iran-Israel conflict. Trump responded to Putin’s request by shifting Ukraine’s attention, saying, “No, I don’t need assistance with Iran.” I need assistance with you.
According to Ushakov, Putin stressed the need to resolve all “dissartions, and conflict situations” involving Iran during Thursday’s call.
Last month, the US launched a three-site bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, which Moscow deemed to be unprovoked and illegal.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, met with leaders of the European Union in Denmark earlier on Thursday, stressing the need to “strengthen our cooperation and coordination through the EU, NATO, and also in our direct relations.”
Trump has in essence resisted Ukraine’s attempts to join NATO militarily.
“Genocide is profitable for some,” he said. A shocking report from UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese accuses major corporations of profiting from Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory and the genocide there.

Oasis will take to the stage for the first time in 16 years tomorrow night(Image: PA)
Last month the Oasis deal with Adidas was announced with huge fanfare including a two minute TV advert on Channel 4 and YouTube.
Noel and Liam Gallagher posed up together for the first time since the Oasis global tour was announced. The brothers were pictured as part of an Adidas promotional campaign, which launched in an advert on Channel 4.
Liam and Noel have only been photographed together once in the last two decades in August last year, when they confirmed the reunion tour with a black and white shot which made headlines around the world.

At the start of the Knebworth concerts, giant Adidas footballs were filmed. A tambourine once struck ice, and Liam could be heard saying, “At some point, a tambourine struck ice.”
You are aware of my words, “There are times when you are in the zone.” You simply remain completely silent as a result of the chaos that surrounds you. Simply put, this feeling is the best in the world, without the need to participate in it. Simply remain completely still.
Then, as the final scene of the commercial showed them reunited and posing together, Liam and Noel could be seen preparing to play a concert on stage.
On Friday night during the Oasis tour, the stadium Merchandise stand will remain open until 11 p.m.

Jessica Simpson posted a photo of herself rocking two daisy dukes on her social media page.

Jessica Simpson looked out of this world as she slipped back into denim shorts two decades after Dukes of Hazzard. The 2005 action comedy movie is loosely based on the 80s series of the same name, with the likes of Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Willie Nelson and Jessica in starring roles.
In the movie, Jessica rocked daisy dukes and red heels. She recently took to her Instagram page to recreate her iconic 00s look. Jessica posed in light blue daisy dukes and a low-cut cheetah print halter neck top. She added a chunky belt, matching bracelets and layered a few statement necklaces.

Red and denim-colored shoes are this summer’s go-tos, according to the caption of the post. Fans hurried to her comment section to compare her appearance to that in Dukes of Hazzard.
One user wrote, “You’re absolutely beautiful hun,” and another wrote, “You’re so beautiful and gorgeous especially in the Dukes of Hazard movie.”
One follower wrote, “One of my all-time favorite movies.” Prior to this, Jessica revealed that she has a “ridiculous number” of shorts in her closet, including those from The Dukes of Hazzard.

In Dukes of Hazzard, Jessica starred in 2005.
She claimed that Diana Ross’ clothing was more glamorous than her outfits. Ashlee’s mother-in-law is Diana’s sister. She said, “Here is full of sequins that make you salivate, and mine is full of Daisy Dukes and Juicy suits.”
Jessica and her husband Eric Johnson split up earlier this year.
The singer and the former NFL player tied the knot on July 5, 2014 after beginning their relationship in January 2010. Maxwell, Ace, and Birdie, their five-year-old children, are their parents.
According to an insider at the time, Jessica had to call it quits on her relationship because the pop star had been sober since October 2017 and that protecting her sobriety was one of the main goals.
A source shared that while Jessica had “grown” since marrying Eric, her husband hadn’t developed alongside her. “Eric likes to take the credit for Jessica getting sober and turning her life around, and while he was supportive of her and her journey, she did this herself. He didn’t babysit her,” they claimed.
Jessica and Eric had been “extremely absent” for a few years, and with the “spark gone,” it no longer made sense to stay together for the kids, according to the insider.
The couple tried a number of methods, including counseling, spiritual healing, and tantric exercises, according to the insider, but “it didn’t work.” Concerns for Jessica’s own health rose in addition to the relationship’s worries.
