Game on: Republicans, Democrats trade fire over Big Beautiful Bill in 2026 battle for Congress

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump quickly took aim at Democrats for opposing his sweeping domestic policy bill.
«Not one Democrat voted for us, and I think we use it in the campaign that’s coming up the midterms, because we’ve got to beat them,»
The president spoke as he headlined a July 4th-eve event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds to kickoff celebrations of next year’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Hours earlier, the GOP-controlled House of Representatives, in a 218-214 vote on Thursday nearly entirely along party lines, lifted the so-called «One Big Beautiful Bill» to final congressional passage. Earlier in the week, Vice President JD Vance broke a tie in the Senate to advance the measure 51-50.

The president is scheduled to sign the massive spending and tax cut bill into law Friday at 5pm, at a White House signing ceremony.
With the legislative battle over the bill finished, and Trump and congressional Republican leaders victorious, the campaign trail war now begins over the controversial measure, which many of the most recent public opinion polls suggest is not very popular with Americans.
‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ON WAY TO WHITE HOUSE AFTER NARROWLY PASSING FINAL HURDLE IN CONGRESS
«Every Democrat voted to hurt working families and to protect the status quo,» argued a memo from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) released minutes after the final House passage of the bill.
And the NRCC, which is the campaign arm of the House GOP, emphasized that «House Republicans will be relentless in making this vote the defining issue of 2026.»
House Republicans will be defending their razor-thin majority in the chamber (220-215 when the House is at full strength) when all 435 seats are up for grabs in next year’s midterm elections.

NRCC chair Rep. Richard Hudson of North Carolina, in an opinion piece published on Friday morning, charged that House Democrats «rejected common sense» by voting against the bill.
«And we will make sure each one of them has to answer for it,» he vowed, as he pointed to next year’s congressional elections.
The bill is stuffed full of Trump’s 2024 campaign trail promises and second-term priorities on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit.
It includes extending his signature 2017 tax cuts and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.
By making his first-termtax rates permanent – they were set to expire later this year – the bill will cut taxes by nearly $4.4 trillion over the next decade, according to analysis by the Congressional Budget Office and the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
WHAT’S ACTUALLY IN TRUMP’S ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’
The measure also provides billions for border security and codifies the president’s controversial immigration crackdown.
And the bill also restructures Medicaid — the nearly 60-year-old federal program that provides health coverage to roughly 71 million low-income Americans. Additionally, Senate Republicans increased cuts to Medicaid over what the House initially passed in late May.
The changes to Medicaid, as well as cuts to food stamps, another one of the nation’s major safety net programs, were drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump’s tax cuts. The measure includes a slew of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those seeking Medicaid coverage.
And the $3.4 trillion legislative package is also projected to surge the national debt by $4 trillion over the next decade.
Democrats for a couple of months have blasted Republicans over the social safety net changes.
«BREAKING: House Republicans vote to kick 17 million people off health care,» screamed the headline in an email from the Democratic National Committee to supporters, moments after the bill passed the House on Thursday.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries charged that «extreme House Republicans just approved the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in American history to fund tax breaks for their billionaire donors.»
And Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) chair Rep. Suzan DelBene pledged that «the DCCC will make sure every battleground voter knows how vulnerable House Republicans abandoned them by passing the most unpopular piece of legislation in modern American history, and we’re going to take back the House majority because of it.»
Expect to see ads from Democrats as early as this holiday weekend taking aim at Republicans over their passage of the bill. And the Democrats are expected to turn up the volume on the messaging campaign next month, during the August congressional break.
HOW MUCH THE ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’ WILL CUT YOUR TAXES
But Republicans are also going on offense, targeting Democrats for voting against tax cuts.
Republicans are shining a spotlight on a poll conducted by a GOP-aligned public policy group that indicates strong support for the bill due to the tax cut provisions.
A release earlier this week from the group, One Nation, argued that «polling shows that the public supports the Republican plan to cut taxes for families, eliminate taxes on Social Security, overtime, and tips, and reign in waste and abuse in the federal budget.»

The president, as he returned to the nation’s capital early Friday after his event in Iowa, touted his bill.
«I think it’s very popular. It does many things, but one of them is the biggest tax cuts in our country’s history. And that alone makes it very popular,» Trump said.
But Democrats spotlighted a slew of national polls conducted last month that indicate the bill’s popularity in negative territory.
By a 21-point margin, voters questioned in the most recent Fox News national poll opposed the bill (38% favored vs. 59% opposed).

The bill was also underwater in other national surveys conducted last month by the Washington Post (minus 19 points), Pew Research (minus 20 points) and Quinnipiac University (minus 26 points).
About half of respondents questioned in the Fox News poll said the bill would hurt their family (49%), while one quarter thought it would help (23%), and another quarter didn’t think it would make a difference (26%).

Sixty percent felt they had a good understanding of what is in the measure, and while those voters were more likely to favor the legislation than those who are unfamiliar with it, more still think it will hurt rather than help their family (45% vs. 34%).

The latest surveys all indicated a wide partisan divide over the measure.
According to the Fox News poll, which was conducted June 13-16, nearly three-quarters of Republicans (73%) favored the bill, while nearly nine in ten Democrats (89%) and nearly three-quarters of independents (73%) opposed the measure.

Identificaron al verdugo nazi de una de las fotos más estremecedoras del Holocausto

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el horror del Holocausto quedó registrado en cientos de imágenes. Pero pocas son tan impactantes como la foto tomada en Berdichev, Ucrania, en julio de 1941: un hombre agachado al borde de una fosa, rodeado de cadáveres, segundos antes de ser ejecutado por un nazi de las SS. Por décadas, la identidad del verdugo fue un enigma. Ahora, gracias a una investigación internacional y a la inteligencia artificial, se logró identificarlo con un 99% de certeza.

La foto que se volvió símbolo del Holocausto
La imagen, conocida como “El último judío de Vínnitsa”, se hizo famosa en 1961 durante el juicio a Adolf Eichmann en Israel. En ella, se ve a un hombre con el rostro resignado, a punto de ser asesinado. Detrás, un miembro de las SS lo apunta con el arma en la nuca, en una escena de brutalidad absoluta.
Por años, se creyó que la foto había sido tomada en Vínnitsa entre 1941 y 1943. Sin embargo, el historiador Jürgen Matthäus, exdirector del departamento de investigación del Museo Conmemorativo del Holocausto de Estados Unidos, descubrió que la escena ocurrió en Berdichev, a unos 150 kilómetros de Kiev, el 28 de julio de 1941, según informó la Deutsche Welle. La foto, conocida como «El último judío de Vínnitsa» es en realidad de una masacre en Berdichev. (Foto: gentileza USHMM-Archive 2021.159).
El hallazgo que cambió la historia de la foto
El giro en la investigación llegó cuando el museo estadounidense recibió los diarios de guerra de Walter Materna, un soldado austríaco de la Wehrmacht que estuvo en Berdichev en 1941. Entre sus pertenencias, apareció una copia de la foto, con una anotación en el reverso: “Ejecución de judíos por las SS en la Ciudadela de Berdichev. 28 de julio de 1941”.
Una entrada del diario de Materna describía el asesinato de cientos de judíos en ese mismo lugar y fecha, confirmando el verdadero escenario de la masacre. Así, se supo que la imagen no era de Vínnitsa, sino de Berdichev, y que formaba parte de los crímenes cometidos por el Einsatzkommando C, responsable de la muerte de cien mil personas, en su mayoría judíos, en la región.
Quién era el verdugo: la clave de la inteligencia artificial
Durante décadas, la identidad del asesino permaneció oculta. Pero la investigación de Matthäus, publicada en el Journal of Historical Studies, dio un paso clave gracias a la colaboración de un profesor jubilado que reconoció al tirador de la “horrible imagen” como un tío de su esposa: Jakobus Onnen, nacido en 1906 en Frisia Oriental, Alemania.
Onnen, que había sido maestro y se unió a las SS en 1932, integró el Einsatzgruppe C y participó en las matanzas en Europa del Este. Murió en combate en 1943 y nunca fue juzgado. Su hermana había destruido todas las cartas que le había mandado durante la guerra. La IA ayudó a confirmar la identidad del verdugo nazi como Jakobus Onnen. (Foto: gentileza DW).
“Jakobus Onnen provenía de una familia de clase media, su padre era maestro y murió prematuramente. Tuvo que cuidar a sus hermanos a una edad temprana. Luego quiso convertirse en maestro, como su padre. En ese momento, probablemente ya estaba imbuido de la ideología nazi y su tiempo como estudiante en Gotinga también estuvo claramente influenciado por el movimiento estudiantil nacionalsocialista”, afirmó Matthäus.

Su identidad fue confirmada con un software de reconocimiento facial de inteligencia artificial, que comparó la foto de la ejecución con imágenes aportadas por el denunciante.
“La IA fue la frutilla de la torta”, explicó Matthäus, que destacó la importancia de la cooperación interdisciplinaria para avanzar en la investigación histórica.
La víctima, un rostro sin nombre
Aunque hoy se sabe quién fue el verdugo, la identidad de la víctima sigue siendo un misterio. Los nazis, a diferencia de lo que hicieron en Europa Occidental, no registraron los nombres de las personas fusiladas en el Este. “La mayoría de las víctimas del Holocausto en Europa del Este han permanecido en el anonimato, como pretendían los perpetradores”, señaló Matthäus.
“Con el tiempo, se han realizado esfuerzos masivos para que las víctimas dejen de ser anónimas, pero, probablemente, nunca podremos nombrar a muchas de estas personas. Gran parte de este trabajo fue realizado por los propios sobrevivientes, que identificaron a las víctimas a partir de fotos, memorias o testimonios”, dijo
El historiador se mostró “cautelosamente optimista” sobre la posibilidad de identificar algún día al hombre de la foto, gracias a la cooperación entre investigadores, tecnología y familiares. “Si es posible para esta foto, también puede funcionar para cartas, diarios y otros documentos”, aseguró.

Top 5 moments from final New York City mayoral debate: ‘Knock him on his tuchas’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Candidates came out swinging at New York City’s final mayoral debate Wednesday night, with all three candidates launching personal attacks and spotlighting each other’s hottest controversies.
With just weeks until the election, socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani is highly favored to win. Despite this, the debate on Wednesday was every man for himself, with each candidate lobbing attacks and insults at one another.
Here are the top five moments from Wednesday night’s debate.
1. ‘Knock him on his tuchas’
Independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, who led the state as a Democratic governor from 2011 until he resigned amid controversy in 2021, took aim at Mamdani’s lack of leadership experience, predicting that President Donald Trump would make short work of him if he were elected mayor.
«[Trump] has said he’ll take over New York if he wins, and he will, because he has no respect for him. He thinks he’s a kid and he’s going to knock him on his tuchas,» said Cuomo.

Mamdani immediately shot back by calling Cuomo «Donald Trump’s puppet himself.»
«You could turn on the TV any day of the week, and you will hear Donald Trump share that his pick for Mayor is Andrew Cuomo, and he wants Andrew Cuomo to be the mayor, not because it will be good for New Yorkers, but because it will be good for him,» said Mamdani.
2. ‘You fled!’
Though far and away the dark horse candidate in the race, Republican Curtis Sliwa landed some of the hardest punches of the night. Early on in the debate, he fired at Cuomo’s controversial exit from office, saying, «Andrew, you didn’t leave. You fled from being impeached by the Democrats in the state legislature. You fled!»
Cuomo, meanwhile, reserved most of his ire for Mamdani. At another point in the debate, he addressed the 34-year-old socialist New York assembly member, saying, «You don’t know how to run a government, you don’t know how to handle an emergency, and you’ve literally never proposed the bill on anything that you’re not talking about in your campaign.»
«You had the worst attendance record in the assembly, and you gave yourself the highest raise in the United States of America,» he said, exclaiming, «Shame on you! Shame on you!»

In response, a grinning Mamdani said, «It is always a pleasure to hear Andrew Cuomo create his own facts at every debate stage.»
«We just had a former governor say in his own words that the city has been getting screwed by the state. Who was leading the state? It was you!» said Mamdani. «You were leading the state for ten years, screwing the city!»
Cuomo immediately denied this accusation, blaming the current Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and saying, «That’s the past four years.»
3. The meme moment
Chaos erupted on the debate stage after Mamdani attempted to skirt around a question on whether he supports a set of housing ballot initiatives, with Cuomo, Sliwa and the moderators immediately pressing him to answer.
«What is your opinion, Zohran? Come on!» Sliwa shouted as Cuomo droned, «Yes or no?!»
Cuomo rocked back and forth with his hands, mocking Mamdani, saying, «It’s a TikTok dance,» producing the most meme-worthy moment of the night.

«They’re pointing out what I was about to say. Would you please answer the question?» a moderator asked.
Mamdani continued to deflect, saying, «I think on this stage you can see two people appealing for the Republican Party votes and myself speaking directly to New York City.»
«Answer the question for once,» Cuomo continued prodding as Sliwa waved his arms and smacked his forehead with his palm.
«My question to you was, do you support the three ballot amendment questions?» the moderator pressed.
Mamdani finally answered, «I have not yet taken a position on those ballot initiatives,» as both Cuomo and Sliwa moaned in protest.
«What a shocker!» Cuomo teased. «Don’t worry, once he takes it, he’ll change it anyway.»

4. Support for global jihad?
Moderators and candidates alike pressed Mamdani on his controversial positions on Israel and rising fears amongst New York’s Jewish community.
Citing two sons who he said were raised Jewish, Sliwa said, «This issue is personal for me.»
«Let me speak on behalf of my two sons when they’ve heard some of the statements you’ve made, like in support of global jihad, and I hear some people out there saying, ‘the Jews that time is due,’ which means the same thing. They’re frightened; they’re scared. They view you as the arsonist who fanned the flames of antisemitism,» said Sliwa.
«You’ve got a lot of explaining to do, a lot of apologizing to do,» Sliwa went on. «My sons are afraid. Their family, their friends, many in the Jewish community are concerned if you become mayor, because they don’t think when antisemitism rears its ugly head, which it’s now doing more than ever before, that you will have the ability to come in and put out those flames of hate.»
Mamdani shot back, «I think there is room for disagreement on many positions and many policies, but I also want to correct the record: I have never, not once, spoken in support of global jihad.»
«That is not something that I have said, and that continues to be ascribed to me. And frankly, I think much of it has to do with the fact that I am the first Muslim candidate to be on the precipice of winning this election,» Mamdani went on, adding, «All the same, Curtis, I do still want to be the mayor that will keep your sons safe, that will keep every single New Yorker safe.»

5. A stage full of scandal
Sparks flew when Cuomo and Mamdani were given free rein to question each other and, unsurprisingly, chose to press each other on their most controversial scandals.
Cuomo knocked Mamdani, who is an immigrant to the U.S. from Uganda, for being a «toxic» force in New York City, and pressed him for not advocating for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Uganda for its laws against homosexuality.
«You take a picture with Rebecca Kadaga, deputy prime minister of Uganda … She’s known as Rebecca ‘gay-killer’ Kadaga,» said Cuomo, asking, «How do you not renounce your citizenship, or demand BDS against Uganda for imprisoning people who are gay just by their sexual orientation, is that not a basic violation against human rights?»
Mamdani answered that «had I known that the first deputy minister was the architect of that legislation, I would not have taken that photo.»
In turn, Mamdani grilled Cuomo on 13 sexual harassment allegations filed against him while he was governor. Cuomo brushed this aside, saying, «The cases were dropped» and pressing further, «You have no problem with BDS against Israel, but no BDS against Uganda.»

At another point in the debate, Mamdani attempted to turn the question of experience on Cuomo, saying, «The issue is that we have all experienced your experience.»

«The issue is that we experienced you taking a $5 million book deal while you sent seniors to their deaths in nursing homes. The issue is that we experienced you cutting funding for the MTA to send money to upstate ski resorts. The issue is that we saw you give $959 million in tax breaks to Elon Musk. The issue is your experience,» said Mamdani.
«The issue is you have no experience,» insisted Cuomo, adding, «You’ve accomplished nothing.»

Brasil subastó cinco nuevos bloques petroleros en el Atlántico, a pocos días de la cumbre climática COP30

El gobierno de Brasil otorgó este miércoles los derechos de exploración de cinco bloques petroleros situados en aguas profundas del Atlántico, apenas dos días después de que la estatal Petrobras obtuviera licencia ambiental para iniciar perforaciones exploratorias marítimas cerca de la desembocadura del río Amazonas. La decisión reafirma el compromiso brasileño con la producción petrolera, una postura que genera controversia a menos de un mes de la conferencia climática COP30 de la ONU en la ciudad amazónica de Belém.
Las subastas, organizadas por la Agencia Nacional del Petróleo (ANP), se llevaron a cabo en Río de Janeiro y sumaron un total de 103,7 millones de reales (alrededor de 19,2 millones de dólares). De los siete bloques ofertados, cinco fueron adjudicados a grandes consorcios internacionales y nacionales, entre ellos la multinacional noruega Equinor y la china Cnooc. Estas áreas se localizan en el denominado presal, una reserva petrolera ubicada bajo una gruesa capa de sal en aguas ultraprofundas, donde se estima la existencia de yacimientos de alto potencial económico.
De las siete zonas ofrecidas en la subasta, las áreas de Jaspe, Citrino e Itaimbezinho fueron obtenidas respectivamente por un consorcio integrado por Petrobras (60%) y Equinor (40%), por Petrobras de forma individual, y por Equinor también de manera individual. Todas ellas se encuentran en la cuenca de Campos, frente al litoral del estado de Río de Janeiro.
En la cuenca de Santos, frente a las costas de San Pablo, la australiana Karoon se adjudicó el bloque de Esmeralda, mientras que un consorcio liderado por CNOOC (70%) y Sinopec (30%) obtuvo el área de Amatista. El resto de los bloques ofertados no atrajo el interés de las 15 empresas habilitadas para participar.
A diferencia de anteriores licitaciones, en esta ocasión no se otorgaron concesiones plenas, sino que las empresas ganadoras operarán en asociación con el Estado brasileño, que mantiene la propiedad de los derechos de exploración y producción. Para resultar seleccionadas, las compañías debieron ofrecer el mayor porcentaje de participación estatal en el excedente de producción de petróleo y gas.

La subasta formaba parte de una oferta inicial de 13 áreas, aunque las compañías solo mostraron interés por siete. De acuerdo con Artur Watt, director general de la ANP, “el mantenimiento de las actividades de exploración y producción es completamente compatible con la transición energética”. Watt defendió que este proceso debe acelerarse ajustando la demanda, sin restringir voluntariamente el suministro nacional, dado que “sería rápidamente cubierto por otros países en detrimento de los intereses nacionales”.
El lunes, Petrobras recibió la licencia ambiental del Instituto Brasileño del Medio Ambiente y de los Recursos Naturales Renovables (Ibama) para perforar un pozo exploratorio en el bloque FZA-M-059, situado a 175 kilómetros de la costa del estado de Amapá, próximo a la frontera con Surinam. La estatal inició los trabajos el mismo día de la autorización, según informó en un comunicado. Este pozo no producirá petróleo durante la fase exploratoria y las tareas podrían extenderse hasta cinco meses.
El ministro de Energía, Alexandre Silveira, celebró la decisión y subrayó en sus redes sociales que “el Margen Ecuatorial representa el futuro de nuestra soberanía energética. Brasil no puede renunciar a conocer su potencial”. Silveira insistió en que la perforación se realizará bajo “los más altos estándares internacionales” y con “responsabilidad ambiental”.
No obstante, la explotación petrolera en la región ha suscitado críticas de organizaciones ambientalistas y comunidades indígenas, dadas la vulnerabilidad y “extrema sensibilidad” del ecosistema amazónico. La polémica aumenta en vísperas de la COP30, donde uno de los ejes clave de debate será la reducción gradual del uso de combustibles fósiles.
La Margen Ecuatorial, que se extiende desde la frontera con Surinam hasta el noreste del país, es señalada por analistas geológicos y la industria como una de las zonas más prometedoras de Brasil por sus similitudes con los descubrimientos de hidrocarburos realizados en Guyana. Durante la última década, la región ha sido objeto de exploración por parte de importantes compañías internacionales, como Chevron, ExxonMobil, Petrobras y la Corporación Nacional de Petróleo de China.
El gobierno de Lula da Silva argumenta que el crecimiento del sector es clave para financiar la transición energética y el desarrollo económico. En junio, el Ejecutivo subastó otros 19 bloques en alta mar, algunos en cercanías del Amazonas, reafirmando su determinación de expandir la actividad petrolera en el país pese a las restricciones impuestas por las demandas ambientales.
La exploración en aguas profundas bajo la capa de sal, así como en la denominada Margen Ecuatorial, plantea desafíos técnicos y ambientales, en especial por las fuertes corrientes oceánicas y la proximidad a zonas de alta biodiversidad. Petrobras señaló que el pozo exploratorio en el bloque FZA-M-059 forma parte de su estrategia para incrementar reservas y conocer el potencial petrolero brasileño, aunque aún no está previsto su desarrollo comercial inmediato.
