In an interview with Daily Caller, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) disclosed what would sway him to support President Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’ The Kentucky Republican said he would support a “skinny” version of the legislation. Massie told the outlet he’s open to one proposal of splitting the bill into two. SCOOP: Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie revealed in an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller that he could vote “yes” on President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” if a “skinny” version of the legislation materializes. pic.twitter.com/WyoUQVoR0i — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) June 30, 2025 Daily Caller shared Massie’s comments: “I can tell you the conservatives in the house are getting antsy with every change that happens in the Senate, and there’s a concern that maybe they need to just skinny this thing down and try to do just a few things,” he asserted, adding that they may try to do “two bills instead of one.” “The first one should be just the absolute essentials to the president’s priorities, which would be, secure the border and extend the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” he explained. Massie said he could theoretically support that bill depending on its impact on the deficit. “It would be a lot of speculation to say that’s where we’re going to end up. But if we did end up there, and there was a repeal of the Green New Deal subsidies, I could be for that, possibly — I’d have to see the total budget impact in the House,” he told the Caller. There have been several changes to the Senate version of the bill that have raised red flags for Massie. They stripped the REINS Act Provision — something Massie personally lobbied for in the House version — which requires congressional approval for major federal regulations before they take effect. The Senate is also mulling over a longer phaseout of renewable energy tax credits and whether to reduce the income cap for State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions. Massie said that lowering the threshold would benefit blue states more than red states. “If they make that tweak, let’s say they limit the SALT deduction to people who make less than $400,000 a year, that means that more of the benefit of that tax provision will go to blue states instead of red states, because to be under whatever the threshold is — let’s just say $400,000 a year annual income and have $40,000 of state and local taxes or property taxes — means that you’re probably in a blue state,” he explained. “I think the ultimate bill that the Senate passes, if they can pass one, is going to have an even worse impact on the deficit than the House bill,” he said. Massie hasn’t shied from voicing his opposition of the legislation. Recently, President Trump said he would campaign in Kentucky to primary Massie in the midterm elections. Rep. Thomas Massie Says Strikes Against Iranian Nuclear Facilities “Not Constitutional” – President Trump Responds Trump said Massie is “not MAGA” and called him a “LOSER.” “MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague! The good news is that we will have a wonderful American Patriot running against him in the Republican Primary, and I’ll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard. MAGA is not about lazy, grandstanding, nonproductive politicians, of which Thomas Massie is definitely one,” Trump said earlier this month. Trump's team formed a super PAC to bolster its effort against Massie and launched a $1 million ad against the congressman.

Those six House Republicans, some of whom requested anonymity, are enough opposition to tank the package, as GOP leaders grapple with a razor-thin majority. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who was one of two GOP lawmakers to oppose the House version of the bill last month, is also likely to oppose the Senate’s edition, deepening the pocket of resistance in the lower chamber. Republicans can only afford to lose three votes and still clear the legislation, assuming full attendance and united Democratic opposition.

Millions of TikTok users across the US breathed a sigh of relief earlier this month when President Donald Trump agreed to extend the deadline by which the app’s owner, China’s ByteDance, must either approve an American buyer for it or risk a nationwide ban. Over the weekend, Trump sat down for a Fox News interview during which he delivered a major update on the search. According to The Hill, he teased that there was already a buyer lined up for TikTok — but he’s keeping some of the details under wraps for now: “We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo. “I think I’ll need probably China approval, and I think President Xi will probably do it,” he added, referring to China President Xi Jinping. Asked whom the buyer is, Trump said, “I’ll tell you in about two weeks.” The president added that the buyers are “very, very wealthy people.” His teaser sparked plenty of social media speculation this week: Could it be Trump media company?

The first extension came on the first day of his second term, followed by another in April when the White House thought a deal to place the app under American ownership was imminent. Instead, China balked at the deal and forced Trump to issue a second extension of the ban. The third extension — enacted on June 19 — was in yet another effort to push a potential deal over the finish line, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the media at a press briefing that day. Between the lines: Trump offered no details Sunday as to what the deal entails or how quickly it would be completed. “I think I’ll probably need China [sic] approval,” he said. “I think President Xi [Jinping] will probably do it.” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also addressed the matter during a Monday press conference: Reporter: On TikTok, the president says he has a buyer. Do you have any indication from the Chinese government that they have authorized the sale? Leavitt: I can tell you that these discussions regarding the sale have been ongoing at the highest level, and they will continue. pic.twitter.com/54ESIqVkMk — Acyn (@Acyn) June 30, 2025 Your thoughts?

Despite taking near-constant potshots from the far left over the Christian faith of its founder, Chick-fil-A has carved out a perennial position among America’s most popular fast food restaurants. That’s why so many social media users were upset recently when they saw reports that the chain might be making a widely unpopular change to its locations. When a Reddit thread brought attention to one restaurant’s use of paper straws, rumors began to spread that Chick-fil-A had been considering getting rid of plastic straws nationwide. The backlash grew to the point that the company issued a statement clarifying the matter, as the Western Journal reported: A Chick-fil-A spokesperson told Fox News Digital this week that “Chick-fil-A is not transitioning its restaurants nationwide to the use of paper straws.” “Chick-fil-A abides by local regulation in the communities we serve, so some locations may carry paper straws where required,” the spokesperson said. The post did, however, gain traction and reportedly received hundreds of comments, kicking off a debate about plastic versus paper straws. “It depends on where you live,” one user chimed in. Businesses that have switched to paper straws in the past have drawn the ire of even environmentalists who find the eco-friendly alternatives all but useless: Paper straws are such an incredible let-down, and frankly they simply don’t work. I am reminded of how impressive plastic is and how transformative plastic consumer products must have been when first introduced every time I end up in a situation like this. pic.twitter.com/k7r6SntHj2 — Star Simpson (@starsandrobots) July 17, 2022 paper straws are great for when you want paper straw to be one of the ingredients in your drink — riley (@carameloatmilk) June 27, 2025 whoever normalised paper straws please know i hate you — stephiemaxxing (@bcthenas) June 27, 2025 Fox News also covered some of the social media posts about paper straws, and Chick-fil-A in particular, over the past several days: “I consider myself a leftist, but I’ll be damned if I ever give up plastic straws. Lol paper is the worst,” joked one user. Another Redditor wrote, “My location in Atlanta, Georgia, still has styrofoam and plastic straws. It’s not good for the environment but great for my drinks.” Yet another person claimed, “It’s local regulations. We aren’t even supposed to give straws, utensils or salad condiments without the guest requesting them.” One customer said, “Oh, no, this makes me sad. I’ll carry straws in my car if that happens. I get it, but it sucks.” President Donald Trump has even weighed in on the paper straw debate as part of his second-term agenda: What’s your take?

In America today, the food supply chain is under unprecedented strain, and beef—our nation’s backbone protein—is at the center of the storm. With cattle prices hitting record highs, mysterious disruptions in the supply chain, and globalist agendas threatening our ranchers, the time to secure your family’s food future is now. Prepper Beef, a veteran-owned, Texas-based company, is stepping up with a limited-time 30% off sale on their Original Steak Beef when you use promo code WLT30—a premium, shelf-stable product crafted from Texas-born and raised, Prime graded cattle. The Beef Crisis: Why Shelf-Stable Beef Is a Must-Have If you’ve been to the grocery store lately, you’ve felt the sting of skyrocketing beef prices. According to recent reports, cattle prices reached historic highs in 2025, driven by shrinking herds and relentless droughts in Texas, the nation’s beef capital. The U.S. cattle herd is at its smallest since 1951, with Texas alone facing recurring droughts that have slashed grazing lands and forced ranchers to sell off cows at alarming rates. Add to that the loss of Mexican cattle imports—a critical source for Texas grazing operations—and the supply of replacement cattle is drying up fast. But it’s not just Mother Nature at play. Food processing plants have faced an uncanny string of “accidents,” with more incidents in the past year than in the previous decade. Entire herds are dying mysteriously, and bird flu’s spread has raised alarms about food security. Meanwhile, globalist voices, backed by powerful interests, are pushing to vilify beef, blaming cattle for climate change and promoting lab-grown “meat” or insect-based diets. Henry Kissinger’s chilling words ring true: “Who controls the food supply controls the people.” This is why Prepper Beef’s Original Steak Beef is more than just a meal—it’s a lifeline. Sourced exclusively from Texas-born and raised, Prime graded cattle, this isn’t your average grocery store beef. Prime grade, as defined by the USDA, means abundant marbling for unmatched flavor and tenderness, typically reserved for high-end restaurants. Prepper Beef takes these premium cuts, cooks them sous vide to lock in taste, and freeze-dries them for a shelf life of up to 25 years without refrigeration. Stored in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, this is beef you can trust to stay fresh through any crisis—whether it’s a natural disaster, supply chain collapse, or worse. Why Prepper Beef Stands Apart At Prepper Beef, quality and patriotism aren’t just buzzwords—they’re a mission. Unlike mass-market brands that cut corners with low-grade beef or questionable sourcing, Prepper Beef is committed to purity. Their cattle are 100% Texas-born and raised, free from mRNA injections that Big Pharma is quietly pushing into the beef industry. Jason Nelson, CEO of Prepper Beef, has vowed, “I’ll shut down the company before we ship a single bag of mRNA-injected meat.” Prepper Beef shares that same resolve, ensuring every bite is pure, American, and untainted by globalist agendas. This veteran-owned company is fighting for American values, supporting Texas ranchers, and preserving the tradition of real beef. Each bag of Original Steak Beef is packed with premium cuts—think Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin—not the “beef crumbles” or scraps you’ll find elsewhere. And with a 30% off sale happening now, there’s never been a better time to invest in your family’s security. Act Now: 30% Off and a Chance to Save Jobs Prepper Beef isn’t just about food—it’s about people.
