5 things for Monday, July 3: Trump tweets, health care, an attack in Iraq – CNN

1. Twitter 2. Senate recess Speaking of health care news, Republicans seem to be repealing and replacing that old "repeal and replace" line. Now, some GOP leaders and even Trump himself are floating a possible "repeal now, replace later" approach. 3. Iraq At least 14 people were killed, among them four children and a captain in the Iraqi police, when a suicide bomber detonated a device in a camp for internally displaced people in the Iraqi province of Anbar on Sunday.ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack and said they were targeting members of the Iraqi military. The attack comes as Iraqi forcespush ISIS elements out of their last major Iraqi stronghold, the northern city of Mosul.The city is expected to be fully liberated soon. 4. Arkansas shooting Twenty-eight people were wounded early Saturday in a shooting at a nightclub in Little Rock, Arkansas. In addition to 25 people who were shot, three people were injured in the ensuing chaos. Police believe the incident may be gang-related and likely happened after "some sort of dispute." To add to the confusion, an underground rapper was arrested shortly after the shooting, and a US Marshal initially said the arrest was connected with Saturday morning's incident. It wasn't. So far, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. 5. Bernie Sanders Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday denied an allegation that his office might have pressured a Vermont bank to speed up the loan process for a real estate acquisition his wife Jane orchestrated for Burlington College while president of the school.Sanders' latest remarks come amid reports the FBI might belooking into the land deal. A vice chair of Vermont's Republican Party, who was also involved in theTrump campaign, brought the accusations to the table last year and called for a federal investigation of Jill Sanders.
