The House is preparing to vote on the Trump administration's so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill" now that it's cleared the Senate. House Speaker Mike Johnson managed to get it passed by a razor-thin margin within his own party after several intense debates and revisions. According to some estimates, the massive domestic policy bill is projected to add over three-trillion dollars to the national debt over the next decade.        Severe weather could disrupt holiday travel ahead of this Fourth of July weekend. A storm system is expected to bring wind and rain today from New Jersey to Florida along the busy I-95 corridor. Already this morning, over 900 flights have been delayed, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware. Close to 300 have been cancelled.        Fire crews are continuing to keep an eye out on hot spots after a warehouse full of fireworks exploded in Northern California. It happened early Tuesday evening, rocking the town of Esparto, about 40 miles north of Sacramento, and sending plumes of smoke billowing some 15-thousand feet into the air. The explosion also sparked a small wildfire.        President Trump is apparently so pleased with Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz," that he's repeating a call to re-open the original prison in San Francisco's Bay. Trump was in the Sunshine State yesterday, touring the new detention facility for illegal immigrants in the Everglades. The President later posted, "We're going to look into renovating and rebuilding the famous ALCATRAZ Prison sitting high on the Bay, surrounded by sharks."        Authorities in Harris County, Texas are investigating the death of a nine-year-old girl whose mother reportedly left her inside a hot car on Tuesday. Deputies arrived after 2 p.m. at the USG Corporation parking lot in Galena Park. Investigators say the mother left the girl unattended inside the car when she went to work at 6 a.m., returning to find her unresponsive that afternoon.        Funeral arrangements have been announced for televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, who died Tuesday at the age of 90. A public viewing is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 12th, at the Family Worship Center Church in Baton Rouge. A celebration of life service will take place Sunday evening.
