<p>Maye and Hudson, whose love story began back in their middle school days, got engaged in January 2025, shortly after the athlete wrapped his rookie NFL season</p>

<p>NFL star Drake Maye said "I do" to his longtime sweetheart.</p>

<p>The New England Patriots quarterback, 22, married Ann Michael Hudson on Saturday, June 21. The newlyweds announced the happy news with a joint Instagram post featuring a series of photos of their scenic outdoor ceremony.</p>

<p>One image featured the couple posing by a large, flower-adorned wooden cross in front of a lake with a green mountain landscape in the background. The athlete sported a classic black tux for the occasion, and Hudson wore a strapless gown with a lace-covered bodice, along with a tulle veil.</p>

<p>"1 week married to you calls for a little glimpse of the most special day ❤️. I love you!" Hudson wrote.</p>

<p>A number of Maye's NFL friends offered their congratulations in the comments, including Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, Patriots offensive tackle Will Campbell and Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs.</p>

<p>In one memorable moment at the wedding — which has since gone viral — Maye and his tuxedo-clad groomsmen posed for a photo as they lined up in a football formation. Sports journalist Dov Kleiman shared the snapshot on X, writing, "What an awesome picture 🔥."</p>

<p>The couple's love story took root all the way back in middle school when the two began dating at 12 years old. Throughout Maye's high school and college football careers — he played for the University of North Carolina Tarheels from 2021 to 2023 — Hudson was on the sidelines, cheering him on as his biggest supporter.</p>

<p>Maye was later selected by the Patriots in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. At the time, Hudson shared her excitement — and pride — for his achievement.</p>

<p>"Drake, words cannot describe how proud I am of you. What an incredible blessing it has been to be by your side through all of this," she wrote on Instagram. "I love you and can't wait for this next chapter! GO PATS!!"</p>

<p>Shortly after concluding his rookie season, Maye popped the question to Hudson in a sunset beach proposal in January 2025.</p>

<p>"Love doing life with you. Can't wait to marry you! ❤️," Maye wrote on Instagram as the couple announced the news and shared photos of the romantic moment.</p>

<p>The couple recently celebrated another special occasion together — Hudson's graduation from UNC, where she was a business school student with a double minor in entrepreneurship and conflict management, per her LinkedIn. Hudson shared photos of herself in a light blue graduation gown and cap on Instagram, prompting Maye to comment, "Grad szn❤️."</p>

<p>As for Maye, he is off to a promising career in the NFL, according to Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, who described the 22-year-old as a "young, dynamic quarterback" on ESPN's SportsCenter in January.</p>

<p>"I think he's young, talented, willing to learn. I think there's a toughness to him. There's an amazing skillset in which to mold and to have him lead our football team and lead our offense," Vrabel said.</p>

Senate races toward final vote on Trump's megabill after weekend of debate, drama

• Senate races toward final vote on Trump's megabill after weekend of debate, drama</p>

<p>ALLISON PECORIN, LAUREN PELLER and ISABELLA MURRAYJuly 1, 2025 at 12:33 AM</p>

<p>The Senate is plowing ahead toward a final vote on President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and immigration bill, as Republicans rush to get it across the finish line by July 4.</p>

<p>The self-imposed deadline by Trump meant a rare weekend session for lawmakers, one filled with partisan drama and some GOP infighting on the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act."</p>

<p>On Monday morning, senators began a "vote-a-rama" -- a series of votes on proposed amendments to the megabill.</p>

<p>MORE: Trump admin live updates: Senate begins 'One Big Beautiful Bill' vote-a-rama</p>

<p>There is no limit to the number of amendments lawmakers can seek. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the chamber's top Democrat, promised his party would bring amendment after amendment during the marathon session. Democrats forced a reading of the 940-page bill over the weekend, which took nearly 16 hours.</p>

<p>"Every senator will soon have an opportunity to reject this nonsense and vote for common-sense budgeting. Americans will be watching," Schumer said on Monday as he slammed Trump's bill as a break for billionaires that will hurt working-class families.</p>

<p>Democrats used the early hours of the vote-a-rama to force votes highlighting cuts the megabill makes to Medicaid, SNAP and rural hospitals and to hammer Republicans on the tax cuts they say the measure gives to the wealthiest Americans.</p>

<p>The Senate voted down 47-53 an amendment led by Schumer that he said would have undone "the travesty that is at the core of the Republican bill."</p>

<p>"Their bill the so-called big beautiful bill, which is really a big, ugly betrayal, cuts taxes for billionaires by taking away health care for millions of people. So what my amendment simply says, if people's health care costs go up, the billionaire tax cuts vanish," Schumer said.</p>

<p>J. Scott Applewhite/AP - PHOTO: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer arrives as Republicans begin a final push to advance President Donald Trump's tax breaks and spending cuts package, at the Capitol in Washington, June 30, 2025.</p>

<p>Democratic Sen. Ed Markey's effort to strip provisions that would negatively impact rural hospitals due to cuts to Medicaid also failed, but did receive the support of two Republicans: Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine.</p>

<p>The two moderate Republicans, who both have a history of voting across party lines, have raised concerns about how cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would hit their constituents. In total, Murkowski supported five Democratic-led measures in the ongoing vote-a-rama and Collins supported four.</p>

<p>Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the top Democrat on the Senate Agriculture committee, argued that the SNAP provisions in the bill creates "chaos for state budgets and hardship for families" and violate budget rules. Her motion related to SNAP was waived by Republicans.</p>

<p>Senate Majority Leader John Thune defended the bill as delivering Trump's campaign promises to eliminate tax on tips and overtime pay while boosting spending for defense and border security.</p>

<p>"It's been a long debate," Thune said in his own floor remarks ahead of the votes on amendments. "I know people are weary. But at the end of the day, we want to get this done so that this country is safer and stronger and more prosperous, not only for today but for future generations of Americans."</p>

<p>So far, Republicans have defeated all Democratic efforts to modify or reconsider the bill -- but the session could go on until late Monday night.</p>

<p>Senate Finance Committee chairman Mike Crapo, a Republican, argued against several of the Democratic amendments.</p>

<p>"The reality is, the reforms we are putting into place are to try to reign in control of wasteful and fraudulent and abusive spending that actually diverts resources away from the people who these programs really deserve to receive," Crapo said of Schumer's amendment on Medicaid.</p>

<p>Andrew Harnik/Getty Images - PHOTO: Senate Majority Leader John Thune speaks to reporters as he returns to his office from the Senate Chamber at the U.S. Capitol, June 30, 2025 in Washington.</p>

<p>The vote-a-rama is the last hurdle before a vote on final passage of the bill in the Senate.</p>

<p>There is little room for error in the Republican-controlled chamber. A procedural vote on Saturday night to open debate on the bill narrowly passed in a 51-49 vote after two Republican defections.</p>

<p>GOS Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina voted against advancing the bill. Tillis railed against the changes to Medicaid in the bill, saying it would hurt his constituents and would represent a betrayal of Trump's promise not to touch the entitlement program upon which millions of people rely for health care coverage.</p>

<p>MORE: GOP Sen. Tillis won't run for reelection after Trump primary threat</p>

<p>Tillis' opposition drew Trump's ire, with the president threatening to support a primary challenger to the two-term senator. Tillis then suddenly announced he would not seek reelection, saying later he texted Trump on Saturday night suggesting he "probably needed to start looking for a replacement."</p>

<p>"I respect President Trump. I support the majority of his agenda, but I don't bow to anybody. When the people of North Carolina are at risk. And this bill puts them at risk," Tillis said.</p>

<p>If the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" passes in the Senate, it will have to go back to the House for members to consider the changes made to the bill.</p>

<p>House Republican leaders say Wednesday is the earliest chance for a megabill vote.</p>

<p>"Members are advised that votes are now expected in the House as early as 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 2. Please stay tuned to future updates for additional information regarding this week's schedule," a notice from Majority Whip Tom Emmer's office said.</p>

<p>Speaker Mike Johnson expressed optimism that the Senate's version of the One Big Beautiful Bill will pass in the GOP-led House despite opposition from moderates and conservatives.</p>

<p>"We're going to pass this bill one way or the other," Johnson said leaving the Capitol Monday evening. "And I have prevailed upon my Senate colleagues to please, please, please, put it as close to the House product as possible. I have been very consistent from the very beginning.</p>

<p>Johnson did not rule out passing the Senate version as is and said, "there's still a lot of amendments, and a lot of game to play."</p>

<p>Asked if GOP House leaders would make changes to what the Senate sends over, Johnson said, "We'll see what the final product is. I am very hopeful as always. We will get this job done. We'll see what happens."</p>

<p>The speaker did not respond to a question about passing the bill by the Fourth of July deadline.</p>

<p>Republican leaders have told members they will receive 48 hours notice before a vote is called and will have 72 hours to review the bill text.</p>

<p>The House passed the Trump megabill by just one vote back in May. The Senate version of the bill will face an uphill battle in the House, given the GOP's razor-thin majority.</p>

<p>MORE: Republican-led House passes Trump agenda bill by a single vote</p>

<p>California moderate Republican Rep. David Valadao said he will vote no given the Medicaid changes in the Senate bill. Several conservatives, including Reps. Chip Roy of Texas, Josh Breechen of Oklahoma and Eric Burlison of Missouri have also expressed opposition to the Senate's version of the bill.</p>

<p>Johnson and other Republican leaders worked through the weekend to lock down the votes even as several lawmakers have expressed opposition to the Senate's version, which is still not finalized. Johnson can only afford to lose three defections if all members are voting and present.</p>

<p>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump was working "hand in hand" with Johnson and Thune, and that the two leaders had met with him at the White House earlier Monday.</p>

<p>"Republicans need to stay tough and unified during the home stretch, and we are counting on them to get the job done," Leavitt said during the White House briefing.</p>

<p>But sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Thune and Johnson have not met with President Trump at the White House, and as of now the two leaders have no current plans to meet with the president on Monday as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" progresses in the Senate.</p>

<p>A spokesman for Thune said he is preoccupied as the Senate moves through amendments to the megabill.</p>

<p>"Teams are obviously in close contact/coordination, as always, but we're continuing to move through vote-a-rama in the Senate as we work to move this bill one step closer to the president's desk," the spokesman said in a post on X.</p>

<p>Speaker Johnson is in Washington working through House members' concerns as the Senate works through the bill, including several provisions that could spell problems later in the week if the bill is sent back to the House.</p>

<p>The upcoming year for college sports has at least a modest sense of stability: The $2.8 billion House settlement has been approved, clearing the way for schools to share millions in revenue with their athletes, and major conferences are in year two of realignment after welcoming new programs across the country.</p>

<p>There is still of urgency and uncertainty. The settlement has brought a new set of questions about compensating athletes and managing rosters, while realignment has not vanished by any means.

Trump blames AT&T for tech issues in a call with faith leaders

<p>-

• Trump blames AT&T for tech issues in a call with faith leaders</p>

<p>Kanishka SinghJune 30, 2025 at 8:30 PM</p>

<p>By Kanishka Singh</p>

<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday blamed AT&T for technical issues in a conference call he held with American faith leaders and urged the wireless carrier's boss to handle the situation.</p>

<p>The president also said his administration may use another carrier's service in other calls.</p>

<p>"I'm doing a major Conference Call with Faith Leaders from all over the Country, and AT&T is totally unable to make their equipment work properly," Trump wrote on social media about the call on Monday.</p>

<p>"This is the second time it's happened. If the Boss of AT&T, whoever that may be, could get involved — It would be good. There are tens of thousands of people on the line!"</p>

<p>AT&T said on X it had reached out to the White House and was working to "understand and assess the situation." Trump did not elaborate on the specifics of the issue.</p>

<p>In a subsequent post, Trump apologized to faith leaders for what he described as a long wait on the conference call.</p>

<p>"We may have to reschedule the call, but we'll use another carrier the next time," Trump said.</p>

<p>AT&T shares pared gains very briefly after Trump's post then recovered.</p>

<p>During his first White House term, Trump criticized the company, which at the time owned CNN, about the news channel's coverage of his administration.</p>

<p>Earlier this month, Trump's family business licensed its name to launch a U.S. mobile service and a $499 smartphone, calling it Trump Mobile, in a deal brokered by the president's children.</p>

Which “Spider-Man” Character You Are, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

<p>-

• Which "Spider-Man" Character You Are, Based on Your Zodiac Sign</p>

<p>Skyler CarusoJune 30, 2025 at 4:19 PM</p>

<p>Columbia Pictures</p>

<p>Spider-Man Character Horoscopes</p>

<p>The cosmos is tingling.</p>

<p>In celebration of Spider-Man 2's 10th anniversary on June 30, celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas shared with PEOPLE exclusive readings that align each zodiac sign to a notable character from the iconic superhero comic turned film.</p>

<p>Since the original Spider-Man movie premiered in 2002 with Tobey Maguire in the titular role, the franchise has expanded into a successful web of sequels, spinoffs and countless other interpretations revolving around the friendly-neighborhood hero.</p>

<p>Various other actors have slipped on the spidey suit in Maguire's web-slinging wake, including Andrew Garfield in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man opposite Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy and Tom Holland in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming alongside Zendaya's Michelle "MJ" Jones-Watson.</p>

<p>Not to mention, the plethora of infamous villains and beloved supporting characters that've shaped the storylines within the franchise, between the Green Goblin (played by Willem Dafoe, James Franco and Dane DeHaan) and Aunt May (played by Rosemary Harris, Sally Field and Marisa Tomei).</p>

<p>Now, read on to find out which Spider-Man character you are based on your zodiac sign, according to Kyle Thomas.</p>

<p>Aries: The Green Goblin</p>

<p>Moviestore/Shutterstock</p>

<p>Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin</p>

<p>Norman Osborn, also known as the Green Goblin, aligns with Aries. As a cardinal Fire sign ruled by the planet Mars, this zodiac sign can be "opinionated" yet "powerful leaders" who are willing to fight for their beliefs.</p>

<p>"Similar to the villainous character, Aries are unafraid to take control and go to battle in an effort to strike fear in the hearts of their opponents," Thomas points out, noting that they will "stop at nothing" until they're victorious. "They also hunger for power and can be ruthless if necessary."</p>

<p>Taurus: Peter Parker (Tobey Macguire)</p>

<p>Columbia/Courtesy Everett Collection Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man</p>

<p>Peter Parker, played by Tobey Maguire in 2002's Spider-Man films, aligns with Taurus. The Earth sign possesses many of the same characteristics as the titular character's alter ego.</p>

<p>"Macguire's Peter Parker had a softer, more grounded and practical approach to being a hero in comparison to some of his later incarnations," says Thomas. "He values tradition, also showing the greatest levels of loyalty and maturity between the Sony and MCU franchises."</p>

<p>Gemini: Peter Parker (Tom Holland)</p>

<p>Chuck Zlotnick/Columbia/Kobal/Shutterstock</p>

<p>Tom Holland in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'.</p>

<p>Tom Holland's Peter Parker, seen in Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios' collaborative film series, aligns with Gemini. "Quippy, silly and always out for adventure" are a few personality traits shared between the Air sign and character, per Thomas.</p>

<p>"He's always ready to embrace his innate innocence and sense of humor," he adds of Holland's portrayal. "He also takes great pride in his connection with brilliant genius Tony Stark (Iron Man), who becomes his mentor and father figure."</p>

<p>Cancer: Aunt May</p>

<p>Marvel/Sony Pictures/Kobal/Shutterstock Rosemary Harris as Aunt May in "Spider-Man 3"</p>

<p>Aunt May, who was the aunt of Peter Parker and the widow of the late Ben Parker, aligns with Cancers. This Water sign is considered the "matriarch" of the zodiac, ruling "domesticity and motherhood," says Thomas.</p>

<p>"They are especially sensitive, caring and loyal in love," he continues of Cancers, adding of the beloved character, "Aunt May brings a necessary nurturing touch."</p>

<p>Leo: Harry Osborn</p>

<p>James Franco as Harry Osborn in "Spider-Man"</p>

<p>Harry Osborn, best friend of Peter Parker and former head of Oscorp, aligns with Leo. Ruled by the sun, this zodiac sign is known to be "bold, fiery — and at times, entitled and arrogant," per Thomas.</p>

<p>"Both versions of Harry Osborn crave validation, power and attention," he says, adding, "But he'll also go to desperate measures to get it when they feel pushed aside. Like a Leo, he's ferocious when scorned."</p>

<p>Virgo: Ned Leeds</p>

<p>Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds in "Spider-Man: Far from Home"</p>

<p>Ned Leeds, reporter for the Daily Bugle and husband of Betty Brant, aligns with Virgo. He embodies this zodiac sign because he's a "practical, funny and open-minded" person who brings a "much-needed, grounded approach" to the scene.</p>

<p>"While Virgos tend to be more centered than others, they also have a curiosity about the mysteries of life and the meaning of connection," Thomas points out. "They are loyal, hardworking and will go to bat for those they feel have earned their trust, like Ned, who is always willing to lend a hand."</p>

<p>Libra: Mary Jane Watson</p>

<p>Globe Photos/ZUMAPRESS.com</p>

<p>Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson in "Spider-Man 2"</p>

<p>Mary Jane Watson, specifically Kirsten Dunst's portrayal in the original Spider-Man series, aligns with Libra. "She embodies grace, romance and love," says Thomas, characteristics possessed by the zodiac sign.</p>

<p>"While she finds herself enamored with the mystery of Spider-Man, she finds that her heart truly belongs to the soul of Peter Parker and is destined to be his wife," he adds.</p>

<p>Scorpio: Venom/Eddie Brock and Felicia Hardy/Black Cat</p>

<p>Scorpio aligns with two characters in the Spider-Man franchise, according to Thomas' readings. They are Eddie Brock (also known as the former villain-turned-anti-hero Venom) and Felicia Hardy (also known by her alter ego, Black Cat).</p>

<p>Astrologically, this zodiac sign is "intense, hypnotic, mysterious, passionate and brooding," he points out, noting that they'll use "all of their many skills and deception to enact their will." He explains, "This is due to them being a seductive and elusive Water sign ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto."</p>

<p>"Eddie and his alter-ego Venom are Peter Parker's vengeful archenemies, eager to stop at nothing to destroy him due to his innate anger and jealousy," Thomas says. "And while Felicia's Black Cat hasn't fully made her MCU debut, she, too, embodies the mystique of this zodiac sign."</p>

<p>Sagittarius: Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield)</p>

<p>Peter Parker, specifically Andrew Garfield's portrayal in The Amazing Spider-Man series, aligns with Sagittarius. "Humorous, quick-witted and always ready for a quip," Thomas says of the joint characteristics shared between the character and the zodiac sign.</p>

<p>"Garfield's version of the titular hero is a fan-favorite because of his often silly personality, similar to the comics," Thomas explains. "Spider-Man takes joy in his work, even if that means webbing up his enemies or spinning sweet messages for his love, Gwen Stacy."</p>

<p>Capricorn: Uncle Ben</p>

<p>Uncle Ben, the husband of May Parker and the paternal uncle and father figure of Peter Parker, aligns with Capricorn. "This zodiac sign, astrologically, represents the father or authority figure," says Thomas.</p>

<p>"In the original Spider-Man trilogy, in addition to the comics, Uncle Ben is the motivating force that inspires Peter Parker to take responsibility and use his powers for good," he explains.</p>

<p>Aquarius: Doctor Octopus, aka Doc Ock</p>

<p>Doctor Octopus, a multi-armed maniacal menace who's regarded as one of Spider-Man's most infamous enemies, aligns with Aquarius. This zodiac sign shares many "genius" traits this villainous character embodies, says Thomas.</p>

<p>"Doc Ock certainly steps up to the plate as one of the most brilliant in the franchise," he notes. "Not only does he have a consistent drive for greater use of technology, but he's willing to transform himself into a robot."</p>

<p>Pisces: Gwen Stacy and MJ</p>

<p>Gwen Stacy and MJ, two of Peter Parker's love interests, respectively seen in The Amazing Spider-Man films and the Holland-led Spider-Man movies, align with Pisces. They are known to be "sweet, sensitive and charming," Thomas says.</p>

<p>"Peter has had many great loves despite the obstacles that come in between them," he points out, explaining, "This is why Stone's Gwen Stacy and Zendaya's MJ both embody this zodiac sign. They are the soulmate connections who got away."</p>

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott plans to sign Ten Commandments bill after Senate approval

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott plans to sign Ten Commandments bill after Senate approval

A Texas bill that would order the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms was advanced by the state Senate on Wednesday, sending the legislation to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk after theHouse of Representatives passed an amended version Sunday. The Senate passed the GOP-draftedSenate Bill 10in March along party lines. Despite debate and attempts to delay the bill's progress in the House in recent days, a Democratic lawmaker'samendmentthat requires the state, rather than school districts, to defend any legal challenges to the law was approved on Sunday. Such a change forced the bill back to the Senate for approval with only days left in the current legislative session. With that approval in place, Abbott, a Republican, is expected to sign the bill. His spokesman referred a request for comment to what Abbottposted on Xearlier this month: "Let's get this bill to my desk. I'll make it law." Texas, the second-largest state with more than5 million students enrolledin public schools, would follow Louisiana andmost recently Arkansas in passing legislationrequiring that the Ten Commandments be displayed in classrooms. But like Louisiana, Texas could face a barrage of legal challenges over the law's constitutionality. Louisiana has not fully implemented its legislation after a coalition of parents of different faiths filed a federal lawsuit just days after the bill was signed by Gov. Jeff Landry, a Republican. Ajudge in November sided with those parents when he concluded thatthe state had not offered "any constitutional way to display the Ten Commandments." Louisiana officials appealed, but a ruling has not been issued. Now, with other states passing their own laws, the arguments could eventually wind up again before the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 1980 ruled that classroom displays of the Ten Commandments were unconstitutional. But awave of new lawsandmandates in states, particularly in the South, having begun to test the bounds of what may be legally permissible when it comes to religion in public schools. Under Texas' bill, all public elementary or secondary schools would have to "display in a conspicuous place in each classroom of the school a durable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments." The displays would have to be at least 16 inches by 20 inches and include the text of the Ten Commandments as written in the bill. Once the bill is signed into law, schools "must accept any offer of privately donated" displays or may use district funds, starting in the 2025-26 school year. The legislation does not have an enforcement mechanism, and it's unclear what might happen to schools or individual teachers who refuse to comply. State Sen. Phil King, the lead author of the bill, has said he believes the legislation stands up to scrutiny following a2022 Supreme Court rulingthat found a former Washington state high school football coach had a right to pray on the field immediately after games. The ruling by the conservative-majority court took a different approach by examining "historical practices and understandings" to interpret whether the First Amendment was being violated. "Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has reversed a previous erroneous decision, what was taken from our students can now be rightfully restored," King said in a statement Wednesday. "I look forward to having the Ten Commandments, a historical document foundational to our nation's history and character, back in schools across Texas." In arguments against the bill during debate, state Rep. James Talarico, a Democrat and a Christian, said the specific posting of the Ten Commandments would give the appearance that the state is favoring one religion over others to the detriment of non-Christian students. He also questioned if state lawmakers had ever broken any of the commandments themselves. Other Democrats and critics asked why parents and school districts could not have a choice in whether to allow the Ten Commandments in classrooms, when some Republicans have been vocal about wanting parents to decidewhat books and topicsare permissible in schools. "Families across Texas believe deeply in faith, but they also believe in freedom," Rocío Fierro-Pérez, the political director of the Texas Freedom Network, which has opposed the Ten Commandments legislation, said in a statement. "Freedom to raise their kids according to their own values. Freedom from government interference in personal beliefs. That's what's really under attack here." But the bill isn't the only religious-based one to win approval this legislative session, after Texas lawmakers passed a bill that would permit school districts to adopt policiesallowing for a period of prayerin schools and the reading of the Bible or "other religious text" with parental consent. Abbott is also expected to sign it into law.

South Carolina's budget passes with a big raise in lawmaker pay

South Carolina's budget passes with a big raise in lawmaker pay

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina General Assembly likely met for the last time this year Wednesday, easily passing a budget that included what is effectively an$18,000-a-year raisefor all of its members. If the governor does not veto it, lawmakers will see their "in-district compensation" — money set aside for legislative duties that has few limits on how it can be spent — increase from $1,000 a month to $2,500 a month for all 46 senators and 124 House members. The raise, quietly slipped into the budget about a month ago in the Senate after the initial budget passed the House, caused heartburn. Several members threated to veto the entire $14.5 billion plan. But in the end, it passed both chambers easily. "The anticipation is you will spend that on your constituents, doing the job they've elected you to do and going to the places they have asked you to go," Republican House Ways and Means Chairman Bruce Bannister said. "If you do not spend the money on your constituents, that's on you." Other budget items The rest of thespending planwas much less controversial. There are pay raises for teachers, and the state's highest income tax rate will be cut from 6.2% to 6%. There is $200 million to fix bridges, $35 million to pay for cleanup from Hurricane Helene last year and $50 million for a program to let parents use tax money to pay private school tuition that will undergo court scrutiny. Pay increase But the $3 million that will increase legislator pay got the most attention as House and Senate negotiators finalized the budget for fiscal year 2025-2026 earlier this moth. The monthly stipend for lawmakers has not been increased in about 30 years. Their in-district stipend would increase from $12,000 a year to $30,000 Lawmakers also get a salary of $10,400 a year that has not changed since 1990. In addition, they get money for meals, mileage to drive to Columbia and hotel rooms while in session. Legislators are considered part time because South Carolina's General Assembly meets three days a week from January to May. Lawmakers passed a $1,000-a-month increase in the budget in 2014. But Republican Gov. Nikki Haleyvetoed it, and senators did not have the votes to override her decision. And since it was passed within the budget, legislators get the extra money starting July 1. By law, a raise in their salaries cannot take effect until after the next election. Not everyone supports the increase A number of lawmakers who voted for the budget said it would have been better to handle it as a bill that got public input and was fully debated. Sen. Wes Climer called the raise a wart in an otherwise well-crafted spending plan that includes tax cuts and spending on key items like bridges or private school vouchers. "If there is going to be a pay raise, the people by way of elections ought to decide who does and who does not get that raise," the Republican from Rock Hill said. Climer said he has already talked to attorney and former state Sen. Dick Harpootlian, who is eager about suing over the increase, saying he thinks it violates the law requiring a delay until the next election even though it is in the budget. Governor gets a say Gov. Henry McMaster has a line-item veto he can use to strike items from the budget. He said Wednesday he would have to look it over, but he said he will likely leave the in-district expenses in place. "I believe the case can be made that the expenses have gone up dramatically," McMaster said. "And the remedy would be to provide some more money to be used for those district expenses, not a favor." Lawmakers expect McMaster to veto little if anything from the budget. So instead of returning to take up his vetoes, they don't plan to come back to the Statehouse until January 2026, when next year's session starts.
