President Donald Trump ramped up pressure Wednesday on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to fire Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough.

MacDonough serves as a de-facto referee to interpret Senate rules, which includes determining which provisions meet the strict requirements governing the budget reconciliation process. Trump called on Republicans to replace McDonough after she stripped out his $1 billion request to enhance Secret Service security measures during the construction of the White House ballroom.

WASHINGTON — For much of Donald Trump’s second term, Republican senators have largely stayed in line, wary of defying a president with a history of targeting those who cross him. This week, that dynamic noticeably shifted.

Senate Republicans blocked two of Trump’s legislative priorities, angered by the push to create a $1.8-billion federal fund to compensate people who claim to have been politically persecuted, including rioters who assaulted the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The revolt forced Republican leaders to pull a planned vote on legislation to fund the president’s immigration crackdown and security features for his White House ballroom project.

In response, the president defended the fund and lashed out at its critics.

US Senate Republicans abandoned plans on Thursday to advance major immigration enforcement legislation after furious internal disagreement over a proposed $1.8 billion compensation fund for US President Donald Trump’s allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by federal agencies.

The collapse was a significant setback for Trump and party leaders, who had hoped to pass roughly $70 billion in funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Border Patrol and other agencies before lawmakers began a week-long recess.

Instead, the debate exposed rare public resistance from Republicans normally inclined to fall in line behind the president, with senators baulking at provisions they feared would be politically toxic in an election year dominated by affordability concerns.

The immediate flashpoint was Trump’s proposed “anti-weaponisation fund”, which critics warned could send taxpayer money to Trump supporters convicted of violence against police officers during the 2021 attack on the US Capitol.

Turning Point USA Frontlines reporter Savanah Hernandez has filed a civil lawsuit against Christopher, DeYanna, and Paige Ostroushko after they were caught on video violently attacking her at an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis, while the journalist was covering the event.

The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Minnesota, accuses the Ostroushko family of assault and battery stemming from the April 11 protest outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis. According to the complaint, Hernandez was “viciously and repeatedly attacked” while reporting on demonstrations connected to what organizers called “National F*ck ICE Day.”

Hernandez announced the civil suit on X, writing, “I promised to use every legal avenue to hold the Ostroushkos responsible and will be working with @MurdockJDF as we continue to pursue justice.”

Anti-MAHA GOP Senate Trio Colluded to Knock Off Trump Surgeon General Nominee: Report – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

As Catherine Salgado reported last week, Trump lambasted anti-MAHA Sen. Bill Cassidy, current chair of the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, for his leading role in tanking the recent nomination of Casey Means for surgeon general, presumably on account of her lukewarm enthusiasm for the current vaccine schedule.

(Cassidy is a tireless champion for all vaccines, including, as I have covered in depth before, the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Whether he truly believes in the safety and efficacy of these products is probably immaterial; the salient factor is that he’s up to his ears in pharma cash. According to Open Secrets, from 2019 to 2024, he raked in $1,313,974 in “donations” from PACs and individuals in the “Health Professionals” category and $712,504 from PACs and individuals in the “Pharmaceuticals/Health Products” category. I have written about this particular Swamp creature, his misdeeds, and the dire need to purge him from Washington extensively, including here.)

Key Takeaways

  • The U.S. Department of Education proposed a rule to hold colleges accountable for graduates’ earnings, introducing an ‘earnings test’ to ensure graduates earn more than those without a degree.
  • Programs failing to meet the earnings threshold, with bachelor’s graduates earning less than high school graduates, would lose eligibility for federal student loans.
  • The proposal aims to address rising student debt, emphasizing that taxpayer subsidies should only support programs that yield better outcomes for graduates.

House Republican Still Missing from Congress Due to ‘Unspecified’ Medical Issue– slaynews.com

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) remains sidelined due to an undisclosed medical issue, extending a weeks-long absence that is tightening the margin for House Republicans at a critical moment.

According to reports, Kean has not cast a vote since early March and has now missed dozens of roll-call votes, with no clear timeline for his return.

Extended Absence Raises Questions

Kean’s office confirmed he will miss additional votes this week but has provided limited details about his condition.

A spokesman said the congressman is “expected to be totally fine” and will be “back to a full schedule soon,” but offered no further updates.

Kean has been absent from public view for more than a month, with no recent in-person appearances.

Nancy Mace Files Resolution to Expel Cory Mills From Congress – RedState– redstate.com

There appears to be an expulsion fever occurring in the House of Representatives. Republican Tony Gonzales (TX-23) and Democrat Eric Swalwell (CA-14) resigned their seats, rather than face this particular fate. Democrat Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL-20) and Republican Cory Mills (FL-07) remain bloodied, but unbowed.

Cherfilus-McCormick’s day of reckoning comes Tuesday. The House Ethics Commission has found her in violation of 25 charges and recommended sanctions. Republican Ana Paulina Luna (FL-13) plans to bring a resolution to the floor to have Cherfilus-McCormick expelled.

Republican Rep. Nancy Mace (SC-01) has Republican Cory Mills (FL-03) in her sights, and she’s locked and loaded.

I filed a resolution to expel Cory Mills from Congress.

Last time, my resolution to censure him failed because he cut a deal with Ilhan Omar to save his own skin.

My new resolution outlines how Mills misrepresented his military service, sexual misconduct, campaign finance violations and illicit involvement in federal contracts as a member of Congress, among other charges.

Swalwell is gone. Gonzales is gone. Mills is next.

We need to have the moral courage to do what’s right and expel him.

 

How Republicans have failed to defund sanctuary cities for a generation– www.theblaze.com

The Trump administration has made it clear since its pullout from Minneapolis that the era of mass deportation is over and the administration will instead focus on criminal aliens. But sanctuary cities, which defend the worst of the criminal aliens, remain fully funded and undeterred well into Trump’s second term, with zero strategy to harness the news of endless heinous crimes committed in these fugitive jurisdictions.

How can it be that Republicans are planning one last party-line bill to fund ICE and aren’t even broaching the issue of sanctuary cities?

Just 15 months into this administration, the central campaign promise is dead.

According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, there were over 300 sanctuary jurisdictions in 2016. In response to Trump’s rise to power and his threat to enforce our sovereignty, this number rose to 564 by 2018 — an increase of roughly 88% in the first two years of the Trump administration. As of last year, FAIR identified at least 1,003 by May 2025.

EXCERPT:
I’ve never met Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, but I’ve voted for her twice: I live in her Tampa-area district. (Actually, she lives in my district — I’m pretty sure I got here first.)

She’s still in her second term, but already on the cusp of becoming a national figure. She’s gone one-on-one with Joe Rogan. On live TV, she corrected Bill Maher about her “Cuban” ethnicity (“We’re Mexican. We’re not all the same, Bill.”) Camera-shy, she ain’t.

If you could buy stock in a politician’s future, Rep. Luna’s stock value would be soaring.

And you don’t have to be a genius to figure out why. If Jay Leno’s quip is accurate — and politics is “show business for ugly people” — then Mrs. Luna is preposterously overqualified. Not too many of her colleagues could’ve modeled for Maxim Magazine. (Not even Rosa DeLauro.)
