And get the matching bottoms here!Price: $15.40 (originally $22; available in sizes XXS–XL) A long-torso one-piece if you have a difficult time finding one-pieces because they're all too short for you. Also, can we talk about how absolutely snatched it'll make you look?! The lines on this are just magnifiqué! 💋👩🍳 Promising review: "It's not often I find a one-piece that I like and fits well. The bottom part is a little cheeky without cutting super high on the hip, and the top has good coverage, at least for me with a smaller bust." —345Price: $37.59 (originally $46.99; available in sizes XS–XL) A shirred top with underwire, ruching, removable padding, and adjustable straps to make you feel supported, not stuffed and bursting at the seams. Based on review photos, it fits all kinds of bodies, whether you're in the itty bitty titty committee or rocking a full cup. Promising review: "This top pairs perfectly with the bottoms. It is appropriate to wear around kids, but it's still very trendy!" —anonymousPrice: $28 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors) A one-piece for anyone whose personality is 'mostly wears black' but still loves a little architectural drama. With adjustable straps, tasteful cutouts, and a sleek back hook closure, it's proof that sleek doesn't have to mean boring. Promising review: "The chest area is secure — I pulled and tugged and not even a hint of a nip-slip. When I first put it on, I thought, 'This feels good,' but then I looked at the model photo, adjusted it slightly, and boom: CLEAVAGE. I've never had cleavage in a swimsuit before — not even with push-up styles — so I genuinely did a double take like, 'Who's boobs are these?? 👀' Overall: 5 stars! It's functional and totally water-park-ready — pool, beach, hot tub, you name it." —LoPrice: $39.19 (originally $48.99; available in sizes XS–XL) A pullover tankini so you don't have to fuss with complicated straps, ties, or hardware. Plus, the fabric is buttery soft and lacks the itchy extras and such that can put you into sensory overload. Basically, it's the ultimate comfort top that doesn't sacrifice style.

Love the bead details, and the pattern is so cute. Brown, black, and cream colors. My only complaint is the top runs small!" —Kollette CPrice: $18 (available in sizes XXS–XL) A one-piece that's basically the unicorn of swimwear, with underwire, a subtle cutout, thick, adjustable straps, and a gorgeous color. It's supportive and not remotely boring — aka, the swimsuit equivalent of a main character moment. Promising review: "The material is good quality, has great support, and hugs your curves nicely. 10/10" —StephsbuysPrice: $29.98 (originally $59.95; available in sizes XS–3X and two colors) A paisley one-piece that's low-key giving Barbie in Miami. Bursting with color in this adorably retro print, they absolutely did not need to bless us with the wow-worthy back design, but thankfully did anyway! Promising review: "Love this swimsuit! Fits true to size, and I was really surprised by the quality of the fabric. Beautiful suit all around." —KellyGPrice: $38.39 (originally $47.99; available in sizes XS–XL) A pretty string triangle bottom with full front coverage (i.e., you don't have to worry about shaving quite as diligently, if that's something you do). If you love the adjustability of a tie-side bikini but aren't into barely-there bottoms, this one is for you. The extra fabric keeps your bits comfortably covered, while the subtle floral print — complete with a tiny picot trim — offers a bit of romance without being overly frilly. And get the matching top here!Promising review: "There's so much more coverage in the front of these swim bottoms than any others I've tried in a couple of years. It covers enough in the front that I don't feel like a sideshow.

And get the matching bottoms here!Price: $19.60 (originally $28; available in band sizes 32–38 and cup sizes A–DD) A swimsuit dress you can wear from the shoreline straight to the bar without having to pack a cover-up.

6 Senate Republicans who could hold up Trump's ‘big, beautiful bill'
Senate Republicans will take control of the party's mammoth tax and domestic policy bill when they return to Washington on Monday — and seek to win over a diverse group of GOP lawmakers agitating for changes to the legislation. Members are staring down a key four-week stretch to hammer out provisions of the bill, with their Fourth of July goal in sight and pressure mounting to complete President Trump's top domestic agenda priority. The bill narrowly passed the House last month after Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) struck a fragile compromise with different factions of his conference. But there are still Senate Republicans who could gum up the works as Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) works to shepherd the legislation through the upper chamber with only three votes to spare. Here's a look at a half-dozen of those lawmakers to watch in the coming weeks. Murkowski, one of the foremost Senate GOP moderates, is atop the list of the members Thune and his leadership team will have to win over, and she has already indicated she has a number of concerns. Although Murkowski voted for the Senate GOP's budget resolution — which served as the blueprint for the bill — in early April, she told reporters she was worried about three items. Among those is the impact of potential Medicaid work requirements, as she believes her state will have trouble implementing them due to its outdated payment systems for the program. 'There are provisions in there that are very, very, very challenging if not impossible for us to implement,' Murkowski said. She has also expressed worries about what the Medicaid changes could mean for tribal communities in her state, which are heavily reliant on Medicaid for health coverage. On top of that, she and three of her colleagues have expressed concerns with language in the House bill that would nix wind, solar and geothermal energy tax credits that were put in place by the Inflation Reduction Act. He's not a name that usually ends up on these lists, but Hawley has been perhaps the most vocal member of the Senate GOP conference about potential cuts to Medicaid benefits. He has maintained that the Medicaid cuts are a red line for him in backing the final package — even as conservatives in the House have shown an interest in taking a hatchet to the health care program. And he has a key player in the entire effort seemingly on his side. 'We ought to just do what the president says,' Hawley told reporters last month after the House passed the bill. Two days earlier, Trump had told House Republicans in a closed-door meeting to 'leave Medicaid alone.' Hawley added that he spoke with Trump about the state of play. 'His exact words were, 'Don't touch it, Josh,'' Hawley told reporters. 'I said, 'Hey, we're on the same page.'' Hawley has also shown a willingness to take that stand on the floor. During the chamber's first vote-a-rama in February, Hawley sided with Democrats on an amendment that would have prevented tax cuts for wealthy Americans if Medicaid funding is slashed. Any cuts to Medicaid beneficiaries would hit the Show Me State hard in particular given that 21 percent of Missourians rely on the program or the Children's Health Insurance Program, the companion insurance program for lower-income children. Collins stands out as one of only two Republicans — along with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) — to vote against the party's budget resolution in April, though she is the far more likely of the two to vote 'aye' when push comes to shove on final passage. The Maine Republican has continuously expressed opposition to reductions in federal Medicaid funding and shifting costs to the states, sounding the alarm on the effect doing so would have on her state's rural hospitals. Maine's rural hospitals intensely rely on the health care program, and cuts could deal a crippling blow, she argues. Collins cited that issue in her vote against the budget blueprint, and she has kept up the drumbeat. 'Medicaid is a critically important program for Maine's health care system and a vital resource for many seniors, low-income families, disabled patients, and those who cannot work,' Collins said in a statement at the time. 'I cannot support proposals that would create more duress for our hospitals and providers that are already teetering on the edge of insolvency.' She said last week, on the eve of the House passing the measure, that 'we're still trying to figure out what the provider tax reforms are, but I'm very worried about our rural hospitals in Maine.' Collins was also the only other Senate Republican to vote with Hawley and Democrats for the vote-a-rama Medicaid amendment in February. Her up-in-the-air standing is nothing new for the GOP, especially on a single-party effort. Eight years ago, Collins was a split decision on the GOP's two reconciliation bills. She voted alongside Murkowski and the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) against the party's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Months later, though, she backed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The GOP's current tax agenda would likely make those 2017 cuts permanent. If there's one Republican senator who is the most likely to oppose the package at the end of the day, it's Paul. The Kentucky Republican has been a loud critic of the bill over its inclusion of a debt ceiling hike and lack of deficit reduction. Paul has made clear that his red line for any bill is a debt ceiling increase. But Republicans on both sides of the Capitol are seemingly intent on following through on Trump's wishes to include it and help the party avoid giving Democratic concessions in any possible negotiation. This means that without any changes, Paul will be a 'no,' and Senate GOP leaders have less breathing room than they had hoped, capping their votes at 52 in the process. 'I've told them if they'll take the debt ceiling off of it, I'll consider voting for it,' Paul said last week after the House vote about his talks with GOP leadership. 'It's not conservative; I can't support it.' 'The spending reductions are imperfect, and I think wimpy, but I'd still vote for the package if I didn't have to vote to raise the debt ceiling,' he added. Senate GOP leaders have long had to worry about the concerns of moderates, but it's Johnson and his fellow conservatives who are making their complaints known over what they view as unacceptable levels of cuts. Johnson has not gone nearly as far as Paul in saying he is prepared to oppose a final bill, but he has hinted that conservatives may throw their weight around. 'We need to be responsible, and the first goal of our budget reconciliation process should be to reduce the deficit,' Johnson told CNN last weekend. 'This actually increases it.' 'I think we have enough [senators] to stop the process until the president gets serious about the spending reduction and reducing the deficit,' Johnson added. Johnson has been vocal about his desire to see greater spending reductions, pointing to the roughly $4 trillion the bill would add to the deficit in its current form. He has voiced a preference to move toward pre-COVID spending levels, arguing that this is the U.S.'s last chance to do so. Tillis, a moderate-leaning senator eyeing what could be a close reelection race in 2026, has aired multiple points of concern, headlined by the axing of energy tax incentives in the bill. He has told colleagues that the swift termination of the credits enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act will cause major harm to numerous companies in North Carolina and force them to scramble after years of planning. He pointed specifically to former President Biden's abrupt killing of the Keystone XL Pipeline four years ago and how it has left investors second-guessing whether to back similar projects. 'A wholesale repeal, or the termination of certain individual credits, would create uncertainty, jeopardizing capital allocation, long-term project planning, and job creation in the energy sector and across our broader economy,' Tillis, Murkowski and Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah) wrote to Thune back in early April. Adding to the drama for Tillis, he is staring down one of the two most contentious Senate races on the 2026 map, forcing him to shore up potential weak points as Democrats look to pounce — and giving leadership an incentive to hand him a win for his voters back home.

Johnson to Senate fiscal hawks: Will take ‘more than a flip of a switch' to fix US finance
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) defended the House-passed spending package in an interview that aired Sunday while lauding the bill's unprecedented cuts. President Trump has endorsed the legislation, which would add $4 trillion to the national debt. 'We have $36 trillion in federal debt. But it's important to remember that we did not get into that financial situation overnight. It took many decades … It's going to take more than a flip of a switch to turn it around,' Johnson said during an appearance on John Catsimatidis's radio show, 'Cats Roundtable' on WABC 770 AM. Critics, including Elon Musk, have slammed the bill for the debt ceiling increase, alleging it 'undermines' federal spending reductions made by the Department of Government Efficiency. However, Johnson remains confident that the legislation will help the country shift away from past transgressions. 'This is a dramatic shift in the right direction. And it's just the beginning,' Johnson said. 'We're going to have more of this in the Republican Congress under President Trump's leadership to get us out of the debt mess that we're in.' Republicans are pushing to have the text approved in the Senate prior to the Fourth of July, although they have received pushback from Democrats over Medicaid reforms set to leave millions without access to healthcare. 'Everybody, take a deep breath. Look at the legislation. You're going to find that you're very much in favor of what we're doing here,' Johnson told Catsimatidis. 'If we do not clean the system up, if we do not eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse, these programs will become insolvent, and they will not be there for the people who desperately need and deserve it. We're doing the right thing here,' he added.
