An important question: Are MAGA Republicans in the Senate š§ššš”š”š® going to confirm principal associate deputy AG Emil Bove to a judgeship without finding out if he played any role in, or knows anything about, DOJās withholding of the Epstein files? I donāt think their voters will like that.

AOC: Trump has insisted that this bill does not cut Medicaid. He has also said he doesnāt think Iām a smart person. It doesnāt take a smart person to know when you are being lied to. President Trump, you are either being lied to, or you are lying to the American people.
Senate Republicans dropped a nearly 1,000-page āBig Beautiful Billā in the DEAD OF THE NIGHT. And they want to vote on it TODAY. Trump is jamming through a bill that rips away health care, closes hospitals, raises grocery and utility bills to give tax breaks to billionaires.
