Republicans have advanced President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" in the House. The spending package is now open for debate after hours spent trying to find enough votes to clear an important legislative hurdle.        The Pentagon says Iran's nuclear program has been set back close to two years after U.S. strikes. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell gave the assessment Wednesday -- one that's more optimistic than what UN inspectors have said. The U.S. military has said three key nuclear sites were significantly damaged by more than a dozen bunker-buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles.        The Wisconsin Supreme Court is stopping a state abortion ban. The 1849 near-total abortion ban had technically retaken effect after the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights, however, abortion providers in the state resumed the procedure in 2023 after a judge ruled the ban was superseded by a more recent law. Wisconsin Supreme Court judges voted four to three, along ideological lines, to affirm the lower court's ruling that overturned the ban and left in place a more recent law allowing most abortions until about the 20th week of pregnancy.        The firefighter injured in an Idaho ambush Sunday is doing better. Dave Tysdal was critically injured. Doctors are optimistic, but he faces a long recovery. Battalion Chiefs Frank Harwood and John Morrison were killed in the shooting.        Police say a congressional intern was killed in a Washington, DC shooting earlier this week. Eric Tarpinian-Jachym was struck by gunfire when multiple suspects opened fire on a group of people on Monday. He was an intern in the office of Republican Representative Ron Estes of Kansas.        Funeral plans for Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart are set. He died this week at his Louisiana home at the age of 90. There will be a public viewing at the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge one week from Saturday. Services will be the following Sunday.
