CNN 5 Things
Jul 1, 2025

The Senate's marathon voting on the "Big, Beautiful Bill" that began yesterday morning carried on into the early hours this morning, as the Trump administration keeps up pressure for it to pass. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is threatening primary challenges for lawmakers who do vote for the bill. A Hamas official tells CNN the group is "serious and ready" for ceasefire talks. Two former presidents and Bono have criticized USAID being gutted. Plus, thousands of people thought they’d won a life-changing amount of money, then told, it was a mistake.
