"Here, Sir, the people govern!" - Alexander Hamilton 📸 Kenneth Carrick 📸 Capitol Hill - May, 2024 Badass pic by our talented photographer Kenneth Carrick, during a recent @SpectrumNewsDC live shot!

"Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs!" @GM, the largest auto manufacturer in the U.S., announced Q2 profits dropped more than $1 Billion compared to last year. This is the SECOND automaker this week to announce dropping profits - as a result of tariffs on auto imports. @SpectrumNewsDC

"Striking at the heart of Russia's War Machine." EU approved new sanctions against Russia as 'preparations are underway' for U.S. to send weapons to @NATO countries to ship to #Ukraine. This week @POTUS gave Putin 50 days to cut deal or face new US sanctions. @SpectrumNewsDC

"Nine billion dollars worth of crap..." After it cleared #Senate early this morning, the #House is set to vote on a $9 Billion 'Rescission Package' approving cuts to: ➡️ Foreign Aid ➡️ Public Broadcasting (NPR/PBS) Budget Chief says there could be more cuts. @SpectrumNewsDC

Watch an extraordinary moment on Capitol Hill caught on camera. WI Congressmen @RepVanOrden and @RepMarkPocan frequently spar online, but the confrontation today was in person with both sides hurling insults. Full story: spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee/n… @SpectrumNews1WI @SpectrumNewsDC

"He's a knucklehead..." @POTUS escalates pressure campaign on Fed Chair Jerome Powell pushing him to lower interest rates, even suggesting he's committed fraud. But he denies he already wrote draft letter to fire him & says it's 'highly unlikely' he'll do so. @SpectrumNewsDC

“Nothing about Epstein. I’m not going to talk about Epstein…” @AGPamBondi looks to shift the conversation to recent drug busts by DEA amid backlash over DOJ's handling of the Epstein Files. @POTUS is standing by Bondi so far. @SpectrumNewsDC

"I feel really betrayed and I feel angry..." Trump Administration is facing backlash from some supporters and hard-right commentators after the DOJ released a memo last week - shooting down conspiracy theories tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. @SpectrumNewsDC

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZEN RULING: A fed. Judge in NH imposes a new nationwide pause on @POTUS' executive order ending Birthright Citizenship. The challenge was a 'class action' lawsuit to get around #SCOTUS ruling, curbing lower-court judges from blocking nationwide. @SpectrumNewsDC

Oh... Ok...

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP RULING: #WhiteHouse responds to new ruling by a federal judge blocking @POTUS' order ending Birthright citizenship. Spokesperson calls ruling an 'obvious and unlawful attempt to circumvent" SCOTUS by a 'rogue' judge. @SpectrumNewsDC

Ukraine Latest: Joined my colleague @ReubenJones1 for a discussion on latest efforts to end war in Ukraine. We tackled the latest controversy over a temporary pause in weapon shipments, escalating Russian attacks and how Congress is reacting. Trimmed for time! @SpectrumNewsDC

“People know I’m not happy about what’s going on.” @POTUS expresses frustration with Putin as Russia launches another massive strike against Ukraine early Wednesday morning. He also responds to questions about who called for Pentagon pause of weapons shipments. @SpectrumNewsDC

I caught up with @BillNye just now to ask why it's important to save public media from funding cuts proposed by the White House. He says @PBS is for everybody, and is an extension of U.S. soft power...and of course that's where his Science Guy show aired. WATCH @SpectrumNewsDC
