Mark Kelly's Midterm Warning
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) is worried that the far-left's more extreme positions could cost Democrats at the ballot box. He specifically called out proposals to abolish police, prisons, and the Pentagon as ideas that don't resonate with most Americans.
"There are folks out there that say things that just don’t make sense to the American people, like abolish the police or get rid of jails and prisons, get rid of the border, defund the Pentagon," Kelly said on "Next Question with Katie Couric."
Warren and Trump: An Unlikely Alliance
In a rare moment of agreement, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) sided with President Donald Trump on the debt ceiling. Warren argues that the debt ceiling serves no purpose other than to create unnecessary economic risk.
"Donald Trump is right about this," Warren wrote. "Eliminate the debt limit—its only real function is to threaten an economic crisis."
Trump vs. His Own DOJ
President Trump is pushing back against his own Justice Department's findings regarding the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The DOJ concluded that faulty installation caused the lining to peel, but Trump insists it was deliberate damage.
"I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro… it was a pure case of VANDALISM," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Sanders Takes on Crypto
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is accusing cryptocurrency companies of trying to buy influence in Congress. He claims they're pushing the "corrupt" Clarity Act as payback for their political spending.
Sanders, citing "very high sources," said politicians have been told not to antagonize these big-money interests, including the crypto billionaires who've poured money into elections.
Trump's Legal Battle Continues
President Trump is appealing a federal judge's decision that his $10 billion IRS lawsuit was filed in bad faith. He's also expressing regret over the cancellation of the controversial $1.776 billion "lawfare" fund tied to the proposed settlement.
Trump, along with two of his adult sons, the Trump Organization, and two attorneys, filed a notice appealing U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams' Jul. 13 order to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
