Senate passes $70 billion immigration enforcement bill

Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 05:41

The U.S. Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill to fund President Donald Trump's border crackdown through the remainder of his term. Following a continuous 18-hour overnight "vote-a-rama" session, the legislation cleared the upper chamber on a narrow 52–47 party-line vote, sending the measure to the House of Representatives where it is expected to move quickly. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was the sole Republican to cross party lines and vote against it alongside all Senate Democrats.

Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 07:14

U.S. hiring surged in May because domestic corporate profits remained highly resilient, cushioned by tax cuts, supply-side economic measures, and a localized boom in specific domestic service and energy sectors. While the war with Iran heavily disrupted global oil networks and fueled domestic inflation, the American labor market added a surprising 172,000 jobs—shattering consensus forecasts of around 80,000.

Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 08:23

As Trump threatens Cuba with military action, what do Cuban Americans think

Sunday, June 7, 2026 • Duration 05:42

The Cuban American community is deeply divided over President Trump’s threats of military action against Cuba, creating significant generation gaps and political splits even within households. While many older exiles fiercely back the aggressive stance, younger Cuban Americans and those outside of South Florida are far more skeptical of a direct military intervention.
The friction follows escalating tensions, including an intensive U.S. energy blockade, the indictment of former President Raúl Castro, and intelligence leaks alleging a Cuban drone threat.
