Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) launched a bizarre attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) Saturday during an appearance on Fox News, comparing her to the 1960s pop rock band The Monkees, and criticizing her for getting “her swag on” and “throwing her hands out.”

Dems sending Trump a 'veiled message' with slow drip of damning Epstein photos: attorney

President Donald Trump's administration has just one more week under a statutory deadline to release all remaining evidence about convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. And Democrats may be using Friday's release of new photos of Trump and Epstein as a way of sending a message to the administration.

That's according to criminal defense attorney Stacy Schneider, who told CNN on Friday that the photos suggest that Democrats on the House Oversight Committee may have some damning photos they're keeping under wraps as a safety measure. Democrats released several dozen photos on Friday, though they represent just a small sample of the approximately 95,000 photos the committee received via a subpoena to Epstein's estate.

'Laughable': Red state expert scoffs at GOP's big health care plan

The GOP has struggled to unite around an alternative to the Democrats' health care bill to fix the expiration of Affordable Care Act subsidies, which they shot down in the Senate this week, as the deadline to prevent a spike in premiums rapidly approaches. But many Republican plans involve some variant of replacing the subsidies with direct cash to people through health savings accounts they can use to pay cash for certain medical procedures, or else to meet their deductibles under "catastrophic" health care plans.

This idea is a nonstarter, Ellen Allen of West Virginians for Affordable Health Care told MS NOW's Katy Tur on Friday afternoon.

More lurid revelations coming on Epstein: House Dem

A Democratic lawmaker on Friday revealed a shocking update about the new trove of "explicit and disturbing" images released by House Democrats on the Oversight Committee from the Jeffrey Epstein estate, including the revelation that some of the more than 90,000 images have "pictures of people engaged in sexual acts."

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) told CNN's Kasie Hunt that the images of the late financier and convicted child sex offender with other high-profile people — President Donald Trump, Bill Gates, former President Bill Clinton, filmmaker Woody Allen and MAGA strategist Steve Bannon — were just 20 or so of the thousands of images the committee was investigating. And that lawmakers have questions for many of the people in the photos, including the ones who have not been identified.
