A new wrinkle has emerged in President Donald Trump's legislation to eliminate federal funding for foreign aid and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, narrowly passed in the Senate with only Republican votes earlier this week.

According to CNN, the package, which would codify in appropriations many of the cuts Trump's Department of Government Efficiency has sought to make, is "being held up for now in the House because of unrelated frustration from some Republicans over their leadership’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, according to sources."

House Republicans are feeling beaten down by the firestorm of controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files, Politico reported, and they just want to get back home.

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) have sponsored a bipartisan "discharge petition" that could force the House to take a vote on forcing the Justice Department to release the Epstein files — a vote many Republicans are terrified of, because they would be caught between the demands of their constituents and the opposition of President Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump’s administration officially axed the LGBTQ Youth Specialized Services program Thursday, an LGBTQ-specific program under the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, a move that the CEO of an LGBTQ youth crisis intervention program called “unfathomable.”

“This administration has made a dangerous decision to play politics with real young people’s lives,” said James Black, CEO of the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth crisis intervention organization that was initially the sole provider of the LGBTQ Youth Specialized Services program.

It was announced this week that President Donald Trump is heading to Britain for a state dinner with King Charles in September, but activists are already preparing for the visit by trolling the U.S. embassy.

Vice President JD Vance got a round of roasting on MSNBC by former Reps. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) and Max Rose (D-NY) for his effort to sell President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," even while he tiptoes around making any mention of the fact that the legislation — which he cast the tiebreaking vote for in the Senate — cuts around $1 trillion from Medicaid and provides little tax benefit to the voters he is trying to motivate.

"What I ask every single person to do is take what I've said — of course, go and do the research yourself, but go and talk to your neighbors, go and talk to your friends about what this bill does for American citizens, because we don't want to wake up in a year and a half and give the Democrats power back," said Vance at a recent event in Pennsylvania.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is reportedly considering backing a GOP-led measure to quell the fury from Republican voters over the Justice Department’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Long alleged to have engaged in child trafficking and maintained a client list of powerful people for blackmail purposes, Epstein died of suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on human trafficking charges. A DOJ memo last week concluded no evidence existed that he maintained a client list for blackmail purposes, sparking outrage among President Donald Trump’s strongest supporters.

Former Tea Party Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) cautioned President Donald Trump that he is engaging in a dangerous dance with his more ardent supporters.

It prompted MSNBC host Katy Tur to ask a panel of experts, "How long does this survive? How much damage is it going to do to the MAGA base? And does that damage extend to Donald Trump?"

A prominent Democratic state representative in Florida is alleging that private contracts to build and maintain the controversial immigrant detention facility in the Everglades known as "Alligator Alcatraz" vanished from the online Florida Accountability Contract Tracking System just a day after she accessed them, reported the Miami New Times.

"It seems that the DeSantis administration just pulled more than a dozen contracts tied to the Everglades Immigration Detention facility from a public database of state contracts," wrote Anna Eskamani, now running for mayor of Orlando, in a post on X. "These contracts total more than $200 million in taxpayer spending, and they are public records."

A Democratic lawmaker who participated in a walkout Thursday during a confirmation hearing for a Trump-nominated judge called Republican leadership’s conduct during the meeting “a serious, unprecedented” breaking of committee rules.

“This was a serious, unprecedented rule-breaking to jam this guy through,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), speaking on CNN Thursday.
