Senate Democrats want to use a marathon voting session this week to hammer Republicans on cost-of-living issues. As part of the amendment free-for-all known as “vote-a-rama,” Democrats can force a vote on any proposal they want before the Senate votes on the GOP’s budget blueprint for an immigration enforcement bill.

The world should not be shocked by President Donald Trump’s moves globally – from alliances to foreign policy decisions – Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle said during an interview with Right2theBone and the Greek Conservative Network.

Speaking about President Donald Trump’s America First interests, Boyle said that there should be no confusion from the media or political class about Trump implementing his agenda at home and globally, particularly given his landslide victory in the 2024 election. “The question is, are our friends with us or not?” Boyle laid out, speaking of global allies. “We see sometimes that the belly aching there, complaining about…

Members on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are divided over whether President Donald Trump should pardon Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for her cooperation in the panel’s Epstein investigation, Chair James Comer said in an interview Wednesday.
