Senate passes bill to end shutdown; Trump floats $2,000 tariff dividend checks

From the Gaza war to the Epstein files to the government shutdown, the MAGA-aligned congresswoman has grown critical of her fellow Republicans.

Republicans and Democrats, including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Nancy Mace, are canceling events and taking other security precautions.

The House will likely have enough support to pass a bill forcing the release of the Epstein files at the end of next month, but the Senate is an open question.

Even back in 1936, lead sculptor Gutzon Borglum said the "stone limitations" of the site meant a fifth person couldn't be added.

Democratic Rep. Greg Casar is introducing legislation to ban "surveillance pricing," whereby companies use personal data to charge consumers different prices for the same products.

The Trump administration is under growing pressure to release additional files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna struck a deal with Speaker Mike Johnson after an intraparty spat brought the House floor to a halt last week.

The stopgap measure would keep the government funded through Sept. 30. But Democratic leaders are opposed, and it's unclear if Johnson can pass it with only Republicans.

Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., said he planned to use a previously scheduled meeting at the White House to "bend" Trump's ear on the issue.

The Republican-led Budget Committee approved a sweeping proposal to unlock Trump's agenda, sending it to the full House.

The blueprint conflicts with a Senate budget resolution, which doesn't address taxes or the debt ceiling. It also includes less funding than the Senate's for immigration enforcement.

Mace, R-S.C., alleged “some of the most heinous crimes against women imaginable” were committed by her ex-fiancé and three other men, all of whom denied the accusations.

The focus at the House GOP's three-day retreat was on party unity rather than diving into the weeds on big funding cuts and legislative procedure, where key differences loom.
