Senate steers toward showdown vote next week on health bill
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Senate Republicans steered
toward a potential showdown
vote on their long-awaited
health care bill next week,
despite indications that
they’ve yet to solidify the 50
GOP votes they’ll need to
avert an embarrassing defeat.
Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
said he expected to have
a draft of the bill ready
Thursday. The measure
would peel away much of
President Barack Obama’s
health care overhaul and
leave government with a
more limited role in providing
coverage and helping people
afford it.
“We have to act, and we
are,” McConnell said on the
Senate floor.
But later, he simply chor-
tled when asked if he was
confident the measure would
pass, a victory that would
elude him if just three of the
52 GOP senators voted no.
McConnell’s ability to
assess and line up votes is
considered masterful, and
he’s eager to pass legislation
fulfilling a campaign promise
of President Donald Trump
and countless GOP congres-
sional
candidates.
But
underscoring the uncertainty
he faces, senators from both
ends of his party’s spectrum
were grumbling about the
bill’s expected contents and
the clandestine way it’s being
crafted.
“It’s apparently being
written by a small handful of
staffers for members of the
Republican leadership,” said
conservative Sen. Mike Lee,
R-Utah, using a Facebook
video for an unusually public
swipe at GOP leaders.
Though a member of the
13-senator working group
McConnell had tasked
with piecing legislation
together, Lee said he’s not
seen the emerging bill and
“whole-heartedly” shares the

as, speaks following a closed-door strategy session.
frustration of constituents
unhappy over the secrecy.
He said senators should have
seen the measure “weeks
ago” if the chamber is voting
next week, the goal of top
Republicans.
That echoed Democrats’
lambasting of McConnell
for writing the wide-ranging
legislation in closed-door
meetings. They unanimously
oppose the GOP bill but lack
the votes to defeat it. They
fear McConnell will jam the
legislation through the Senate
with little debate, limiting
their chance to scrutinize the

Brussels train station blast being
treated as a ‘terror attack’
NIGHT OWL
STATION
PBS ABC NBC CBS FOX
BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian authorities said they foiled
a “terror attack” Tuesday when soldiers shot and killed
a suspect after a small explosion at a busy Brussels train
station that continued a week of attacks in the capitals of
Europe.
Federal prosecutor Eric Van der Sypt said soldiers
“neutralized” a male suspect at the Central Station
immediately after the explosion there on Tuesday night. The
man lay still for several hours while a bomb squad checked
whether he was armed with more explosives.
Prosecutor’s spokeswoman Ine Van Wymersch confirmed
his death early Wednesday and said no other explosives
were found on his body. Some Belgian media had reported
earlier that the suspect was wearing a bomb belt.
Belgium’s Crisis Center, which monitors security threats
in the country, said based on initial information it did not see
a need to raise the country’s terror threat to the highest level
and kept it at the second-highest level.
Authorities set up a wide perimeter around the station,
located near the city’s famed Grand Place square.
Van der Sypt said no one else was injured besides the
suspect and the damage from the explosion was limited.

Cheering first day of summer?
Not in Phoenix with 120 expected
PHOENIX (AP) — The first day of summer brought
some of the worst heat the Southwest U.S. has seen in years,
forcing flights to be canceled, straining the power grid and
making life miserable for workers toiling in temperatures
that reached 120 degrees in some desert cities.
Arizona is seeing some of the most dramatic
temperatures Tuesday, but the heat wave is being felt across
Nevada and California, too. It comes as researchers say
deadly heat waves like this one are going to grow more
frequent.
The forecast called for a high of 120 degrees in Phoenix,
which it hasn’t seen in more than two decades, and 126 in
Death Valley. Palm Springs, California, hit 120, still two
degrees lower than a June four years ago. The operator
of California’s power grid called on people to conserve
electricity during peak hours.
Las Vegas also was baking. Out-of-town visitors tried
to stay inside air-conditioned casinos as much as possible,
and some tourists lugged packs of bottled water around the
Strip. Others went to a bar where the temperature is set at 23
degrees, and glasses, walls and seats are sculpted from ice.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Recreational sales of
marijuana in Nevada may not begin next month after all.
A judge added to the uncertainty Tuesday when he
extended a temporary order preventing the state from issuing
pot distribution licenses to existing medical marijuana
dispensaries so they can begin recreational sales July 1.
Carson City District Judge James Wilson said in a
11-page ruling Tuesday that the ballot measure voters
approved in November dictates that licensed alcohol
wholesalers have the exclusive rights to pot distribution
licenses for 18 months.
Wilson ruled the regulation the Nevada Tax Commission
adopted in May that could have opened distribution up to
others was invalid, and he granted a preliminary injunction
scrapping the license application deadline that passed May
31.
He said the members of the Independent Alcohol
Distributors of Nevada demonstrated they will suffer
irreparable harm if he doesn’t block the state from licensing
existing marijuana businesses as distributors.
It’s not clear if recreational sales still might begin next
month.
It has been legal for adults to possess up to an ounce of
marijuana in Nevada and consume it in private residences
since the beginning of this year. But currently only medical
dispensaries can sell it and only to people with medical card.

their programs, but conserva-
tives have wanted to halt the
extra expenditures quickly.
Though McConnell did
not schedule the vote for next
week, some Republicans said
they believed he would hold
it either way. A loss would be
a major blow for Trump and
congressional Republicans,
but it would let GOP senators
take a definitive stance on
the issue and let Republicans
move on to other priorities.
“The leadership has made
it clear we’re going to vote,”
Thune said. “Hopefully we’ll
have 50 votes when that time
comes.”
At the White House,
spokesman Sean Spicer said
Trump “clearly wants a bill
that has heart.” A week ago,
Trump called the version the
House approved “mean.”
Spicer offered no specifics
but said Trump wants the
Senate to “strengthen it, to
make it more affordable,
more accessible.”

DUNWOODY, Ga. (AP) — Republican Karen Handel
has won a nationally watched congressional election
in Georgia, avoiding an upset that would have rocked
Washington ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Her narrow victory Tuesday over Democrat Jon Ossoff
in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District allows Republicans
a sigh of relief after what’s being recognized as the most
expensive House race in U.S history, with a price tag that
may exceed $50 million.
Yet the result in a historically conservative district still
offers Republicans a warning — and Democrats some
encouragement — that President Donald Trump’s tenuous
standing will dominate the looming campaign cycle.
Georgia’s outcome follows similar results in Montana,
Kansas and South Carolina, where Republicans won special
House races by much narrower margins than they managed
as recently as November.
Handel, 55, becomes the latest in a line of Republicans
who have represented the district since 1979, beginning
with Newt Gingrich, who would become House speaker.
Most recently, Tom Price resigned the post in February to
join Trump’s administration as health and human services
secretary.

“I’ve never heard of a
more radical or a more reck-
less process,” said Minority
Leader Chuck Schumer.
Lawmakers, aides and
lobbyists said party leaders
still had decisions to make.
These included how to make
sure health care subsidies
can’t be used for policies that
provide abortions, how to
curb spending on the feder-
al-state Medicaid program
and how fast they can repeal
tax boosts Obama levied on
high earners and medical
companies to finance his
statute’s expanded coverage.
The No. 3 Senate GOP
leader, John Thune of South
Dakota, said Republicans
were moving toward phasing
out Obama’s enlargement
of Medicaid to additional
low-income people over
five or six years. That might
satisfy Republican senators
