Amy’s right. Republicans are rewarding states for creating more waste and committing more fraud.
For all that talk from Congressional Republicans about eliminating waste, they ultimately rewarded it in their Big Beautiful Betrayal. More from me in @PostOpinions: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
A Note from Senator Smith's Staff: -- While at work at the Capitol today, Sen. Smith started to not feel well. She went to the Capitol physician who recommended she undergo more thorough examination at GW hospital. Out of an abundance of caution, they are keeping her overnight…
Trump: I wish Ghislaine Maxwell well. @jonathanvswan: She’s a child sex trafficker. Trump: Big deal... I do, I wish her well.
Epstein files are real but also they’re not but they’re on Pam Bondi’s desk and we’re going to release them but we also can’t (even though we promised we would) and let's talk about someone else because this is really inconvenient for us and even our own supporters are furious

30 years of public service is no small feat - advocating for farmers, veterans, and working families in Buffalo and across the state. Senator Anderson will be remembered as a fighter for the state he loved. May his memory be a blessing.
Gwen and I are sending our love to the family and friends of Senator Bruce Anderson. A veteran himself, he was a steadfast advocate for those who served our nation and he will be missed in the Senate chamber.
For more than 50 years, Sesame Workshop has been proud to partner with PBS to bring learning and joy to children across America. Generations of children have benefitted from the public investment that has enabled PBS to do such important work, and the need remains. PBS, we’re so…
Per my previous email...
Trump: "This is like, proof. Irrefutable proof that Obama was seditious. That Obama was trying to lead a coup. And it was with Hillary Clinton, with all these other people. But Obama headed it up ... this is the biggest scandal in the history of our country."
This was already the least productive Congress in history—and now it’s shutting down entirely because Mike Johnson is terrified of Trump (and what might be in the Epstein files). The GOP’s contempt for the American people couldn’t be more obvious.

Trump was released on cashless bail 3 times in 2023
I’m confused. Trump says the Epstein files are a hoax. But they’re on AG Bondi’s desk for review. Also, they don’t exist. And if they did exist, they were written by Barack Obama.
The “most transparent administration in history” is shutting down a branch of government early because that’s how badly they don’t want to release the Epstein files.
BREAKING: Mike Johnson just canceled votes for Thursday and is sending the House home early for summer recess in order to shut down Democratic efforts to demand more votes on releasing the Epstein files.

Jim Parsons slams Donald Trump for removing the option to reach LGBTQ+ specialising counselors through the 988 Suicide lifeline: “I think it’s quite literally criminal. It’s one of the kinds of decisions that you’re like, there’s no good reason for it. It doesn’t matter what…
Has anyone checked Mar-A-Lago for the Epstein files? Heard he likes to keep sensitive documents there...
What’s that old saying? A donut a day keeps the doctor away? 🍩🤭 In all seriousness, an immense, heartfelt thank you to everyone for the well wishes, and a special thanks to my incredible care team at George Washington University Hospital. With a clean bill of health, I’m…

Unbelievable. Just days after the tragic flooding in Texas, NOAA is demanding that public TV stations remove equipment from towers that is critical for these stations to send weather alerts. Trump’s ideological crusade against public broadcasting will cost lives.
From lifesaving weather and news alerts to educational programming for children, public broadcasting keeps our communities safe and informed. That’s what President Trump wants to take away from Americans.
Let’s not forget that the prosecutor who gave Epstein a secret sweetheart deal back in 2007 — allowing Epstein to continue assaulting girls — was rewarded by Trump with a cabinet spot. Alex Acosta gave Epstein immunity.
