Senate Republicans Reach Deal On Dividend Tax Cut
Senate Republicans agree on a scaled back dividend tax cut sparing the first $500 of income. The plan would exempt $500, then offer 10 percent tax relief for five years and 20 percent for the next five, totaling over $80 billion in a decade with $80–$85 billion in new revenue sources to offset. House and Senate debates continue, with cross-party support and state aid provisions included.

Religious divides flare over Bennett gambling scandal
While William Bennett, author of The Book of Virtues, admitted gambling at casinos, Protestant groups denounced gambling as sinful and harmful, Catholic voices largely silent. Evangelicals and mainline Protestants called gambling a societal cancer, contrasting with Catholic authorities and bishops. Bennett, once a Reagan education secretary, paused gambling after reports.
