The Republican-led Senate late Saturdayadvanced a sweeping domestic policy packagefor President Donald Trump's agenda after a dramatic hourslong vote, moving it one step closer to passage. The vote was 51-49, with two Republicans — Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky — joining all Democrats in opposition. Following the vote,Trump attacked Tillisfor opposing the sweeping domestic policy bill, threatening to meet with potential Republican primary challengers. On Sunday, Tillis announced that he wouldnot run for re-election, opening up seat in a battleground state that already was expected to be one of the most hotly contested races of the 2026 midterms. There will now be up to 20 hours of debate before a process in which senators can offer unlimited amendments. And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., forced a reading of the entire bill on the floor of the chamber, which will add hours to the process. Elon Musk resumed attackson the bill, calling it "utterly insane and destructive." The Tesla CEO's criticisms previously led to a high-profile spat with the president. Anabandoned ice cream carthas become a symbol of resistance to residents of a west Los Angeles neighborhood who oppose President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies. The cart belonged to a beloved ice cream vendor, Ambrocio "Enrique" Lozano, who was arrested by federal agents last week while walking his usual route through Culver City. A photo of Lozano's lone ice cream cart spread quickly across social media, triggering a tidal wave of responses from immigration advocates, residents and lawmakers. A crowdfunding campaign for Lozano and his family topped $57,000 after the photo drew national attention. The response to Lozano's arrest highlights a new strategy emerging after large-scale protests overtook downtown Los Angeles earlier this month. Instead of focusing on marches outside federal buildings, residents of sprawling L.A. County are zeroing in on their own blocks and neighborhoods to show their opposition to Trump's mass deportation efforts. In other immigration news, Trump said during a Fox News interview that he is working to develop atemporary pass for immigrants who work in certain industries, marking the latest shift in the administration's approach to immigration enforcement for farmworkers. Zohran Mamdani, the presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor in New York City, on Sunday said that hedoesn't believe billionaires should exist. Asked directly whether billionaires should have a right to exist, Mamdani, who identifies himself as a Democratic socialist, told NBC News' "Meet the Press," "I don't think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality, and ultimately, what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country." "And I look forward to working with everyone, including billionaires, to make a city that is fair for all of them," he added. His remarks come as some wealthy people in New York City soured on Mamdani in the days after it became clear that he would be the presumptive nominee. Meanwhile, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.,called President Donald Trump's military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities "illegal"but dodged when asked if he should be impeached for ordering the attacks without congressional approval. "That's a decision the House makes. That's not a decision the Senate makes. But it is clear that this is illegal," Murphy said when asked whether he agreed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's comments that Trump's strikes were grounds for impeachment.
