CNN featured a statement about Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell from a parody X account, apparently believing it was made by a real congressman. Wednesday’s episode of “CNN This Morning” displayed the satirical account’s quote side by side with similar comments about McConnell’s current health situation from spokespersons for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Majority Whip John Barrasso and conservative commentator Scott Jennings. “I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 45 minutes,” read Kimble’s Tuesday X post — which CNN featured on the Wednesday morning segment. Host Audie Cornish appeared to…Open
The United States plans to reinstate a blockade over the Strait of Hormuz today. And, several states are suing to stop the massive Paramount-Warner Bros. merger.
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh on Tuesday morning will speak on the state of the U.S. economy before the House Financial Services Committee. The hearing comes as President Trump has seen his approval rating decline over rising affordability concerns and pocketbook pressures sparked by the ongoing war with Iran. Warsh earlier this month sought to downplay inflation fears but offered no hints on the upcoming interest rate decision. In June, the Fed held interest rates steady at his first meeting since taking the reins of the central bank from former chair Jerome Powell. The next forum is scheduled for July 29. #kevinwarsh #federalreserve #houseofrepresentatives

U.S. Senator Jim Banks of Indiana is introducing legislation aimed at ending automatic birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants and foreign birth tourists. The Citizenship Act would amend federal immigration law by defining unauthorized migrants and people entering specifically to give birth as “invaders.” Their U.S.-born children would therefore be excluded from automatic citizenship. Banks says the bill follows a recent Supreme Court ruling that limited President Trump’s attempt to address the issue through executive action. Justice Brett Kavanaugh suggested in a separate opinion that while the president’s order conflicted with existing federal law, Congress could amend that law and establish new exceptions.…Open
