US–PLANE CRASH-SAN DIEGO
Multiple people on private plane that crashed into San Diego neighborhood are dead, authorities say
SUMMARY: Authorities say a private jet crashed into military housing in San Diego during foggy weather, igniting cars parked along a suburban neighborhood block and killing multiple people on board the plane. Assistant San Diego Fire Chief Dan Eddy says the plane could hold eight to 10 people but it’s not yet known how many were on the aircraft. He says authorities will be investigating whether the plane hit a power line. The aircraft crashed just before 4 a.m. Thursday into the U.S. military’s largest housing neighborhood. It appeared to strike at least one home and smash through half a dozen vehicles. About 10 homes were damaged. Five people from a single family were hospitalized for smoke inhalation.

US–SUPREME COURT-PUBLIC RELIGIOUS SCHOOL
Supreme Court tie vote dooms taxpayer funded Catholic charter school in Oklahoma
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court has effectively ended a publicly funded Catholic charter school in Oklahoma, dividing 4-4. Thursday’s outcome keeps in place an Oklahoma court decision that invalidated a vote by a state charter school board to approve the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School. The school would have been the nation’s first religious charter school. The outcome leaves the issue unresolved nationally. Only eight justices participated, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett sitting it out. The court’s one-sentence notice didn’t provide a vote breakdown. But based on arguments last month, Chief Justice John Roberts seemed to be the key, and the outcome suggests he went with the court’s three liberals to make it 4-4.

US–CONGRESS-TAX CUTS
House Republicans pass Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and program cuts after all-night session
SUMMARY: House Republicans stayed up all night to pass their multitrillion-dollar tax breaks package. Speaker Mike Johnson defied the skeptics within his ranks and muscled President Donald Trump’s priority bill to approval Thursday. Last-minute concessions and a stern warning from Trump appeared to win over the hold outs to salvage what he calls the “big, beautiful bill.” The outcome caps an intense time on Capitol Hill, with days of private negotiations and public committee hearings. Democrats, without the votes to stop Trump’s package, tried to stall it. The Congressional Budget Office says the tax provisions would add $3.8 trillion to federal deficits.
