CBSN
T-Mobile users across the U.S. reported major network outages on Monday night, leaving them unable to make calls, send texts or access the internet, according to an outage tracking website.
The wireless carrier is working to restore service, which it says is operating at near-normal levels, in affected areas, including in major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, New York and Seattle.
T-Mobile did not reveal how many users had been affected, but data from DownDetector, an outage tracker that relies on user-submitted data to generate service reports, shows customers lodged more than 83,000 complaints at the peak of the outage on Monday at 10 p.m. Eastern time. That number fell to roughly 9,000 by midnight.

Washington — President Trump is bringing pomp and circumstance to his signing of the "big, beautiful bill" on Friday, with a 4 p.m. Independence Day ceremony at the White House. The current $2,000 child tax credit, which would return to a pre-2017 level of $1,000 in 2026, will permanently increase to $2,200. The bill would allow many tipped workers to deduct up to $25,000 of their tips and overtime from their taxes. That provision expires in 2028. The bill would make changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, expanding work requirements and requiring state governments with higher payment error rates to cover some of the program's costs. The legislation also includes more than $46.5 billion for border wall construction and related expenses, $45 billion to expand detention capacity for immigrants in custody and about $30 billion in funding for hiring, training and other resources for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The legislation would raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, going beyond the $4 trillion outlined in the initial House-passed bill. Congress faces a deadline to address the debt limit later this summer.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport a group of migrants with criminal records held at a U.S. naval base in Djibouti, clarifying the scope of its earlier order that lifted restrictions on removals to countries that are not deportees' places of origin.
