SUMMARY: President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden delivered pies to first responders and called military units worldwide, expressing gratitude for family and peaceful transitions. He also spoke to three Americans recently released in a prisoner swap with China. Vice President Harris participated in charitable meal preparations ahead of Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, rainy weather dampened parades in New York City, where protesters briefly halted the event, leading to 21 arrests. Other cities like Philadelphia and Chicago experienced their own parades, with snowy forecasts in New Hampshire and a winter storm anticipated in Upstate New York, prompting preparations by the National Guard.

Some areas hit with snow, some with rain and winds and all regions will be bitterly cold for a long stretch.

SUMMARY: Jury deliberations have begun in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial. Twelve jurors, eight men and four women aged 30 to 74, are deciding his fate after six weeks of testimony from 34 witnesses. Prosecutors allege Combs used his business as a criminal enterprise to exploit and traffic women through power, violence, and fear, urging conviction on five charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. Combs denies all charges, claiming all sexual encounters were consensual, and his defense argues the case is exaggerated. If convicted, Combs faces life in prison. The judge has ordered the jury to continue deliberations despite a juror issue.

The hip-hop mogul is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

SUMMARY: Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina announced he will not seek re-election, citing a desire to spend more time with family. Tillis broke ranks with Republicans by opposing President Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill, particularly criticizing Medicaid cuts, which he said would hurt North Carolinians. Trump threatened to back a primary challenger against Tillis after his vote. The Senate aims to pass the bill by July 4, but Democrats delayed debate by forcing a lengthy reading of the 940-page plan. Tillis’s Senate seat is pivotal for Republicans maintaining their majority, sparking a competitive race with several potential candidates from both parties emerging.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis’ decision to not seek reelection comes after he opposed President Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” which would cut taxes on wages and tips while increasing spending on many of the president’s priorities, including immigration enforcement.

SUMMARY: On June 29, 2025, the U.S. Senate began debating Republicans’ massive tax and spending bill, facing complex procedural hurdles including a parliamentarian review and a lengthy amendment process. The bill, dubbed the “big, beautiful bill,” proposes extending the 2017 GOP tax law, cutting Medicaid spending, and restructuring aid programs but is projected to increase deficits by $3.2 trillion over a decade. Senate GOP leaders seek near-unanimous party support amid internal disagreements, including concerns over Medicaid cuts impacting states that expanded the program under Obamacare. Key Republican senators opposed moving forward, threatening the bill’s passage before the Fourth of July deadline.
