Watch: Nancy Mace reaches DC to vote for 'Big, beautiful bill' in pink pajamas, says her flights were cancelled
Rep Nancy Mace (R-SC) did not want to miss the crucial vote for Donald Trump's 'Big, beautiful bill' and so started on a road trip in her pink pajamas when she found out that her flights had been canceled.
Nancy blogged on her way and bombarded her social media with her videos. "Come hell or high water, we were showing up to vote on the Big, Beautiful Bill today," Nancy wrote.
In one clip shared on X, she wears her pajamas to a Wawa convenience store as AC/DC's 1979 tune 'Highway to Hell' blasts in the background. 'If D.C. had a theme song …,' she captioned the post.
'From one Waffle House waitress to another, thank you for showing up, working hard, and keeping the coffee hot,' she captioned the post.
'We haven't forgotten where we came from. On to DC to vote for the Big, Beautiful Bill.'

Social media users were not impressed with her vlogging as users said that it was only an 8-hour drive from Charleston to DC but she made it look like a massive trek.
'What's wrong with this woman? What's with these videos where she's on pajamas etc? Who's doing her [social media]? This is unhinged and undignified for a congresswoman,' one wrote.

'Nancy Mace had her flight canceled to DC so she rented a luxury van with a driver, put on her jammies and then had a poor staffer film her all the way there for social media clout,' another wrote. 'All paid for with taxpayer money. Gross.'
"Nancy Mace Needs Psychological Help," one wrote.
Latest on Trump's Big, Beautiful bill:
Hakeem Jeffries
speaking for over 4 hours
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been speaking on the floor for more than four hours during his 'magic minute,' an unlimited period of speaking time allotted to party leaders.
Dozens of House members are on the floor, with some circulating in and out. There are more Democrats than Republicans, but the chamber is nowhere near full, CNN reported Thursday morning.
Vice president JD Vance posted that he received a message from a GOP Congressman who said he was undecided on the bill but after Hakeen Jeffries' performance, he is certain. "GOP Congressman just texted me: 'I was undecided on the bill but then I watched Hakeem Jeffries performance and now I'm a firm yes'."

7 ways Trump's Big Beautiful Bill will impact non-Americans
Framed as a bill to restore American strength, reduce inflation, and fund US priorities, Trump's new legislative proposal also carries significant consequences for the rest of the world, particularly non-Americans read more Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La, surrounded by Republican members of Congress, signs US President Donald Trump's signature bill of tax breaks and spending cuts, July 3, 2025, at the Capitol in Washington, DC, US. File Image/AP US President Donald Trump's newly passed legislative package, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, marks one of the most sweeping overhauls of America's tax, trade, and immigration systems in recent times. While the bill is pitched as a way to 'restore American strength' and redirect national spending to domestic priorities, its global consequences are wide-ranging, particularly for non-Americans across the world. Here are 7 key ways the bill is expected to shape lives and economies outside the United States: STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 1. Remittance tax to hit foreign households The bill imposes a 1% tax on cash remittances sent from the US to other countries. This will affect millions of families in major remittance-dependent economies like India, Mexico, and the Philippines, potentially reducing their annual income by billions of dollars. The tax does not apply to wire or bank-based transfers. 2. Withholding uncertainty for foreign investors While the bill does not impose new withholding taxes on foreign investors, it includes broad corporate tax changes that could affect foreign-owned US assets. Global banks, pension funds, and sovereign wealth entities are bracing for potential regulatory changes that could erode returns on US-linked investments. 3. Trade tensions may escalate The repeal of the 'de minimis' exemption means that small shipments from foreign retailers into the US, previously untaxed if valued under $800, will now be subject to tariffs. This could disproportionately hit exporters in China, the EU, and Latin America, possibly sparking retaliatory trade measures. 4. Climate commitments rolled back The bill rolls back key clean energy tax credits established under the Inflation Reduction Act, including subsidies for electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind energy projects. This may stall momentum in global green supply chains, particularly among US-EU climate partnerships and Asia-based component suppliers. 5. Tighter US immigration access STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The legislation ramps up funding for ICE and Border Patrol and introduces a minimum $100 fee on asylum applications. Although lower than earlier proposals, the new cost barriers could impact international students, temporary workers, and refugees, making the path to the US more expensive and bureaucratic. 6. Ripple effects in global markets From taxes on remittances to regulatory changes in energy and trade, the bill could cause a shift in global investment strategy, increased dollar volatility, and a realignment of financial exposure away from the US by emerging economies. 7. Concerns over US global commitments While the bill does not explicitly cut foreign aid, critics warn that its massive domestic spending increases — including over $170 billion for immigration enforcement — could lead to future reductions in US contributions to global health, development, and humanitarian programs. President Trump's 'big beautiful' promise is already reshaping the US economy, and its effects will be felt far beyond American borders. From higher remittance costs and tighter visa controls to new barriers for global trade and climate cooperation, the bill signals a sharp turn inward, with real consequences for the rest of the world.

Govt urges apex court to restore SC status for Tanti community
Patna: The Bihar govt has filed a review petition challenging the Supreme Court 's July 2024 decision that revoked the scheduled caste (SC) status of the Pan-Tanti community. On Friday, the general administration department (GAD) said the Tanti caste had to be re-included at position 33 in the backward classes schedule as per the court's direction. The Supreme Court had invalidated a 2015 state govt resolution that granted SC status to the Tanti-Tantwa caste, ordering instead their inclusion in the extremely backward classes (EBC) list. The court also instructed that any seats or posts vacated due to this reclassification be filled by other SC candidates. The apex court ruled that only Parliament has the authority to add or remove castes from the SC list, citing Article 341 of the Constitution. It noted that the inclusion of additional castes in the SC list diluted benefits meant for constitutionally recognised scheduled castes. Following the judgement, the state govt had transferred the Tanti-Tantwa community to the EBC category. The matter has political implications in election season. In April, Akhil Bhartiya Paan Mahasangh president I P Gupta held a large rally in Patna to launch his Indian Inqalab Party (IIP), demanding the restoration of SC status to the Tanti community. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Gupta claimed the community had a national population of 5 crore.

On Independence Day, Elon Musk throws a question to all Americans: If you want ...
Elon Musk has a question for all Americans on Independence day . The tech billionaire has shared a poll on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) asking whether he should end the two-party system in the US and create his proposed 'America party'. 'Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party ?,' he wrote in the post, followed by a simple yes and no poll. In a consecutive post, Musk wrote: 'One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts. Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sensação de queimação nos pés? Insira essa planta ao acordar G!Saú Undo When Elon Musk proposed to form America Party Musk first floated the idea of forming a third party earlier this month when he publicly criticised the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. As the House Republicans has narrowly passed the spending bill in a 218–214 vote on July 3, Musk has reignited the debate with his latest Twitter post. 'Utterly insane and destructive. It will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!,' Musk has said in criticism of the post. In a previous Twitter post, Musk criticised the Trump administration's 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. He that if the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' passes in the Senate, he will immediately move forward with launching a new political party called the 'America Party.' Musk argued that the United States currently functions as a one-party system dominated by financial self-interest. His post then read, 'If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.'
