Could you get a $600 check next year under Donald Trump? Here’s what to know
SUMMARY: A new bill called the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025 was introduced in the U.S. Senate to give tax rebates to working Americans using revenue from tariffs on foreign goods. Single taxpayers could receive at least $600, with higher amounts for married couples and families with children, up to $2,400. The rebate could increase if tariff revenue exceeds projections, which may reach $150 billion in 2025. Benefits phase out for higher incomes. Senator Josh Hawley introduced the bill, citing tariff revenues and echoing former President Trump’s support for rebate checks to aid American workers.

Camp Dolphins: Fins haven't been able to escape harsh realities of football
SUMMARY: The Miami Dolphins faced tough setbacks early in camp, losing starting cornerback Kater Kohou for the season due to a knee injury sustained during one-on-one drills.

Quarterback depth is uncertain after departures, but backups Zach Wilson and rookie Quinn Ewers have impressed so far. Safety Ashton Davis, seen with a walking boot, is expected to avoid a season-ending injury. Tua Tagovailoa looks forward to preseason action, maintaining a positive attitude as the team prepares for joint practices with the Bears.
On Wednesday, Dolphins fans got the bad news that starting Corner Kader Kohou will be out for the year after suffering a knee injury on Saturday. He was the top returning cornerback for the Fins coming into 2025.
