U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives, scolded his Republican colleagues amid a standstill on a vote to release FBI files related to convicted sex trafficker–and former friend of President Donald Trump–Jeffrey Epstein. “Mike Johnson and this group continue to cover up for the pedophiles. That’s crazy,” Jeffries told Jen Psaki, host of MSNBC’s “The Briefing” on Wednesday.

The Trump administration is expected to quickly turn to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch bid to unseat Cook. The Fed’s next two-day meeting to consider its next interest rate move begins Tuesday morning. And Cook’s lawsuit seeking to permanently block her firing must still make its way through the courts.

The first domino in a growing national redistricting battle is likely to fall Wednesday as the Republican-controlled Texas legislature is expected to pass a new congressional map creating five new winnable seats for the GOP.

Will JD Vance get the Kamala Harris treatment for his tie-breaking vote for ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’?

President Donald Trump‘s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which extends $3.8 trillion tax cuts and slashes more than $1 trillion in Medicaid and SNAP benefits, would’ve died on a legislative vine had JD Vance, his vice president, not cast his tie-breaking 51-50 U.S. Senate vote. While Trump and his party are currently praising Vance’s role in advancing the unpopular and potentially controversial bill, Democrats hope to use Vance’s consequential vote against him should he decide to run for president, as he […]

Republican push for proof of citizenship to vote proves a tough sell in the states

President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have made it a priority this year to require people to prove citizenship before they can register to vote. Turning that aspiration into reality has proved difficult. Trump’s executive order directing a documentary, proof-of-citizenship requirement for federal elections has been blocked by a judge, while federal legislation to accomplish it doesn’t appear to have the votes to pass in the Senate. At the same time, state-level efforts have found little success, even in places where Republicans control the legislature and governor’s office. The most […]
