SUMMARY: A new Florida law, effective July 1, 2025, bans geoengineering and weather modification activities such as cloud seeding and solar radiation modification. Senate Bill 56, sponsored by Sen.

SUMMARY: The Senate is debating President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which advanced 51-49 after an hours-long vote, moving closer to passage. Senators Thom Tillis and Rand Paul joined Democrats opposing the bill. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer forced a full reading of the 900-plus-page legislation, delaying further votes until Monday. The bill extends Trump’s first-term tax cuts, removes taxes on tips and overtime, and increases defense and border security spending. Opponents argue it cuts Medicaid and food stamp programs, potentially removing healthcare from 16 million Americans. Supporters emphasize border security and defense funding as key benefits.
