It's what President Trump calls one big beautiful bill. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News, and it's being voted on now in the House. The budget blueprint that already passed the Senate using a process Democrats can't block. It funds the Trump agenda, including border security, and extends the president's 2017 tax cuts. And House Speaker Mike Johnson says we are committed to funding at least $1.5 trillion in savings for the American people, while also
preserving our essential programs. Democrats dispute that, fearing there would be cuts to assistance programs and to Medicaid. Amid all the concern that Trump tariffs still in place could lead to a spike in consumer prices, the president touted this in an all-caps-truth social post this morning. Inflation is down.
Fox's Ginny Casola has the numbers. The numbers came in much better than forecast. The CPI declined one-tenth of a percent, up one-tenth for core CPI, excluding food and energy. For the year ending in March, the CPI declined to an increase of 2.4%.

Well, the day before this big budget vote in the House, Republicans approved something else that Democrats opposed, to rein in what GOP lawmakers call activist judges. The No Rogue Rulings Act passing the House along mostly party lines. The bill would rein in federal district court judges' powers to issue nationwide injunctions. It comes in response to a number of rulings against the Trump administration at the district court level. House Speaker Mike Johnson. No one single activist judge...
should be able to issue a nationwide injunction to stop a president's policies. That's not the way the framers intended this to work. Republicans argue the judges are acting as activists, while Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to intimidate justices. On Capitol Hill, Ryan Schmelz reports.

You want to kind of do the right thing as much as possible and help everyone as much as possible. But there are certain rules when it comes to the stock market.
