City Council Special Meeting - Dec 09 2024
 

 

The House will hold a final vote on President Trump's domestic spending bill at some point today. Republicans worked through the night to get members of their own party to vote for the massive tax cut bill. The overnight vote to begin final debate was 219-213, moving the bill to just one more vote away from landing on Trump's desk.        The Supreme Court is set to hear a case on whether states can ban transgender students from being on sports teams that match their gender identity. It comes just days after the court upheld a Tennessee law that restricts gender transition care for minors. The justices on Thursday said they will hear appeals from Republican leaders in West Virgina and Idaho, who will defend bans in their states.        More than 18-million people are projected to pass through the nation's airports by the time the Fourth of July holiday wraps up. Spokesperson Jessica Mayle says fireworks are one item travelers absolutely cannot pack in their carry on or checked luggage. She says it's important passengers know what items are prohibited to keep security lines moving, especially since the holiday can come with extra wait times.        Rain is expected to disrupt Fourth of July festivities in Florida and parts of the Southeast. Florida has already seen showers and thunderstorms this week. It's due to a possible tropical system in the Atlantic that has a medium chance of developing over the next week.        The monthly employment report is out and it beat expectations with the number of new jobs created in June. The Labor Department reports non-farm payrolls increased by 147-thousand last month. Most analysts were expecting to see today's number come in somewhere between 110 and 115-thousand. The 147-thousand is also better than the 139-thousand new jobs added the month prior.        Miley Cyrus, Timothée Chalamet, Demi Moore and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony are among the performers set to be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of the Class of 2026. The 35 inductees were announced Wednesday and picked from motion pictures, television, live theater and live performance, recording and sports entertainment. Others selected include Emily Blunt, Molly Ringwald, and Shaquille O'Neal.
