good morning!🙋🏼♀️I’m Nicole Forelt. Why do all seem to have sardines?
Take a quick look at Thursday’s news:
- The House is about to vote for bills that are expected to touch on many corners of American life, healthcare to tropical borders, and border debt.
- Two staff members at the Israeli Embassy in Washington were fatally shot Thursday.
- The unwilling process is stealing some Indigenous American homes.
Trump Tax Bill is still uncertain
The large Republican bill vote will be on the House docket Thursday morning after debate at the end of the marathon.
What is it: The law President Donald Trump called the “big beautiful bill” would enact Trump’s major campaign promises to eliminate taxes on workers’ tips, and the profits of people at lowest income levels would be reduced to cut spending.
- It is not guaranteed that House Republicans will accomplish this. While some GOPs in largely democratic states had refrained from raising tax credit caps that would benefit the components, fiscal conservatives remained concerned about the costs of the law, which is expected to add around $3.3 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.
- However, Republican Holdouts signed a deal House GOP leadership will move forward with the bill, including adjustments such as increasing the implementation of Medicaid work requirements from 2029 to December 2026.
- Not so “big and beautiful” for all Americans: Trump promises that the bill will bring glory, but analysis from multiple sources shows that those who benefit the best will win.

Requiring Oklahoma to teach Trump’s 2020 election conspiracy theory
Oklahoma public school history teachers should quickly teach the disproved conspiracy theory that Democrats stole the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump. The Republican-led state’s new high school history curriculum says students must learn how to analyze the outcomes of the 2020 election. The new curriculum also removes previous proposals for lessons on the issue of George Floyd’s murder and black lives, and teaches, in fact, a passionately contested theory that Covid-19 emerged from laboratory leaks.
How Nooksack306 was torn from their homes, and their tribes
In this northwest Washington pocket is a group of snow-covered cascaded mountains towering in the background with snow-capped cascaded mountains, with people called Nooksack 306. They were raised as members of the Nooksak Indian tribe and thus self-identified. However, in 2016 they were stripped of their tribe’s citizenship and interests as tribal leaders said they could not prove the blood ancestors of at least a quarter of Nooksak. An unwilling process is called dismissal. Suzette Hackney of USA Today shares a first-person account of the great injustice that was suffered by the indigenous people in the area. Not one of the stolen lands, but one of the lost houses.
