Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass Trump’s controversial "One Big, Beautiful Bill" after a night of intense Republican negotiations. The bill, which faced opposition over Medicaid and food stamp cuts, nearly failed due to concerns from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Trump, in Florida visiting the Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center, received the news mid-trip. Vance declared it a “big win,” while critics, including Elon Musk and Democrats, called it disastrous. Musk has even threatened to form a new party in protest.

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans.

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

Senators Cory Booker and Ted Cruz engaged in a fiery exchange during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on threats to federal judges. As Cruz accused Democrats of remaining silent during threats against conservative justices, Booker pushed back, calling the remarks “dangerous” and a “patent lie.” The tense back-and-forth highlighted rising political divisions over judicial safety, enforcement of protest laws, and the legacy of Trump-era rhetoric. The hearing, titled "The Supposedly Least Dangerous Branch," underscored growing concerns about the politicization of the judiciary and partisan responses to violence and intimidation.

U.S. Senator Cory Booker is facing backlash after making an extended-arm gesture during his speech at the California Democratic Convention — a move many online are comparing to a Nazi salute. The moment instantly drew parallels to Elon Musk’s controversial gesture earlier this year, which sparked similar outrage. Musk has now responded to Booker’s gesture, reigniting debate over symbolism, double standards, and political optics. Is it a misunderstood expression — or something more serious?
