共和党庆祝税改方案通过

This is AP News Minute.

Republicans are celebrating after their tax bill passed the Senate by a 51-48 vote. House votes again Wednesday. The GOP says the plan will help middle class families but democrats1 call it a giveaway for the rich.

Investigators2 are trying to figure out why the Amtrak train that derailed in Washington State was going more than twice the speed limit. Early details indicate a conductor-in-training was in the cab with the engineer when the train went off the rails.

Cardinal3 Bernard Law, the disgraced former archbishop of Boston has died. He was 86. Back in 2002 it was revealed that Law and other church leaders transfered priests that molested4 children without notifying police, parents.

And a dozen people are dead, about twenty others injured including seven Americans when a bus carrying cruise ship passengers to Mayan ruins flipped5 over in Southern Mexico.
