Times Of Israel: Senate passes $9b in spending cuts, including Trump requests for foreign aid slashes
The Senate has passed a $9 billion federal spending cut package requested by President Trump, targeting public broadcasting and foreign aid, despite concerns from some Republicans. The bill, now moving to the House, could complicate future spending negotiations and has raised alarms over its potential impact on essential services.
Critics argue that cuts to public broadcasting and foreign aid will have significant consequences, including jeopardizing crucial programs for disaster relief and health care. While some Republicans support the cuts as a step toward fiscal responsibility, others express hesitation about the lack of clarity on specific reductions and the legislative process.

A fire has destroyed the main stage at Tomorrowland music festival in Belgium just hours before its opening, affecting preparations for an expected 400,000 attendees. The blaze, which began around 6 PM local time, led to evacuations in the nearby town of Boom but resulted in no injuries.
