The progressive watchdog group Right Wing Watch took aim at Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith on Tuesday for his comments last week pushing a Christian nationalist falsehood regarding the Founding Fathers.

Appearing on the Christian nationalist radio program “The Truth & Liberty Show,” Beckwith said that the writing of the US Constitution was precipitated by a three-hour prayer service at the behest of Ben Franklin, an anecdote often shared by those who reject the separation of church and state.

The Supreme Court was not in session, as it was on summer break, but it issued a ruling on Tuesday afternoon regarding President Donald Trump's cuts to the federal workforce.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has declared that the Trump administration’s massive deportation plans will continue without any amnesty for migrant farm workers, and insisted that “able-bodied” American adults who access Medicaid for health care insurance should be the ones to replace deported migrant farm workers. Critics have pushed back.

“I can’t underscore enough,” Secretary Rollins said at a press conference at the USDA on Tuesday, ahead of a White House Cabinet meeting. “There will be no amnesty, the mass deportations continue, but in a strategic way, and we move the workforce towards automation and 100% American participation.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) came under fire Tuesday in a scathing column accusing her of having “sold (Alaskans) out” for her support for President Donald Trump’s budget reconciliation package that includes the single-largest cut to Medicaid in history, all in exchange for some Alaska-specific carveouts.

Originally critical of the budget reconciliation package, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Murkowski vowed to vote against the bill, but later changed her mind, voting for it in the Senate, while at the same time, claiming she didn’t support it as it passed out of the upper chamber. She was roasted by critics for voting for a bill she apparently didn’t support, and in a column published in Slate, author Jill Filipovic called Murkowski’s decision a “particular betrayal.”

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins contradicted one of President Donald Trump's recent claims that he'd be putting farmers in charge of their migrant workers.

Speaking on Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that Rollins proclaimed there would be "no amnesty."

The report cited her claims of "tens of millions of people on Medicaid" who could be working to pick fruits and vegetables across the country.
