Hypothetical or soon to be reality? President Trump responded to whether he would declare a national emergency if his top legislative priority, the SAVE America Act, doesn’t get passed before the midterms. MS NOW’s Katy Tur unpacks Trump’s comments and predicts that no matter what – voters will likely use November to give him this message: “This is NOT his country; this is OUR country.”
By Andrea Widburg Speaker Mike Johnson has updated Newt Gingrich’s successful 1994 “Contract with America,” but the roll-out is unimpressive.
It's a big day for the Senate as they hold a rare Friday session. GOP leadership has a multitude of obstacles they are facing, from support for acting AG Todd Blanche, passing the late Sen. Lindsey Graham's Russia sanctions, to funding the government through December 11th. All eyes are on Sen. Bill Cassidy, who just announced he will back acting AG Todd Blanche's nomination, after Sen. Murkowski revealed today she will vote no. If that's not enough for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, he woke up to Punchbowl News' interview with President Trump, who publicly said voters hate republicans, ramped up pressure on the SAVE act and filibuster, even punting an answer on whether he would support Thune for reelection to the leadership position.…
Senate contenders James Talarico and Ken Paxton unveil dueling economic plans as this year’s campaigns turn from the culture wars that defined the state’s 2024 vote.
Senate Republicans are racing toward the August recess with a legislative to-do list worthy of a Joe Rogan podcast: crypto, college sports and hemp. Why it matters: They likely won't get to all of it, but the White House wants the Senate to get caught trying. - First, senators want to get way ahead of any government shutdown fight. Just as important — an NIL rights bill, with ESPN's first College GameDay set for Sept. 5. - "I've kind of stacked these things: funding the government, the [Todd] Blanche nomination and the 74 nominations," Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said Thursday on Fox News, previewing his agenda. - Then come "Russia sanctions, NIL, market structure," he added, rounding out a short list of issues that…

A legal cat-and-mouse game has played out over whether the president can use various obscure, untested provisions to impose tariffs. Now, Congress appears on track to give him a big, new — and explicit — tariff authority. Why it matters: A bill on Russia sanctions, named for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham , has received overwhelming bipartisan support in the Senate and would allow President Trump and future presidents to impose tariffs of up to 100% on major importers of Russian energy. - If enacted in its current form, it would give the president greater flexibility to raise import taxes on major economies including India, China and the European Union, without the legal limits and ambiguity of the tools he has used thus far.
