Earlier today, the United States Senate voted to include a permanent and unlimited scholarship tax credit in the budget reconciliation bill. The groundbreaking school choice proposal survived two attempts to eliminate it and was forced to be revised, but the bottom line for you — it’s still in! If passed, we expect this credit to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in K–12 scholarships for our communities alone! What happened? On Friday morning, we woke up to the news that the Senate removed the school choice provisions from the Big, Beautiful Bill. Not because the Republican Senate majority wanted to, but because the parliamentarian, a Senate staffer, ruled that it would be deemed “out of order” and not eligible to be included. Reconciliation bud...
Vice President Vance cast the tie-breaking vote as Senate Republicans on Tuesday delivered a huge legislative victory for President Trump by passing his One Big, Beautiful Bill Act after hours of tense negotiations that lasted through the night. The legislation appeared to be on the cusp of failing on the floor after Senate GOP leaders spent hours trying to hash out a compromise with Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, an independent minded Republican, who worried that the legislation’s deep cuts to Medicaid and federal food assistance funding would hurt her home state. At one point, Murkowski could be heard talking about the “vulnerable” on her phone as she walked briskly through the Capitol, avoiding reporters. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and his leadership te...
The Gemara in Brachos 35b quotes the posuk in Krias Shema discussing gathering your crops. The Gemara asks, what is the chiddush that you will gather your crops? The Gemara brings down a posuk in Yehoshua 1 that says that the Torah should not move from us, we should be constantly learning. From this posuk one might think they should not have parnassah. The Torah therefore tells us that one must do the Derech Eretz and make parnassah. This is based on the words of Reb Yishmael. However, Reb Shimon bar Yochai says that Reb Yishmael’s way would not work because then you would be busy every season making sure the fruits and crops grow well, and you won’t have time to learn. Rather, he says, one should learn and h...
Baltimore, MD - July 1, 2025 - Beginning Tuesday, residents struggling to pay rising energy bills can apply for the customer relief fund.
