Mike Mansfield's 16-year record as a Senate leader.
McConnell paid tribute to Mansfield in his floor remarks commencing the new Congress.
This scholarly Montanan was not an exciting idealist who transformed our national discourse, nor a policy entrepreneur who brought to the leader’s role his own sweeping wish list of federal programs, Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, via Politico.
Mansfield made a huge impact through a different road: by viewing the role of leader as serving others, Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, via Politico.
He knew when to go to battle, and when to coordinate with his counterpart Everett Dirksen.
In short, he knew how to work the Senate, Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, via Politico.
Politico reports that Sen.
John Cornyn said McConnell's achievement isn't surprising.
.
If you’ve read [McConnell’s] book, ‘The Long Game,’ this is something he’s wanted to do his whole life.
, Sen.
John Cornyn, via Politico.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also took the time to congratulate the 80-year-old senator while looking to the future.
We have a lot of work ahead of us, so I hope we can find some ways to come together and not succumb to gridlock.
For the good of this chamber and for the good of our country, Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader, via Politico
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.

Donald Trump has launched a scathing personal attack on Zohran Mamdani — the 33-year-old Indian-origin socialist who just won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary. Calling him a "100% communist lunatic" with a "grating voice" and “terrible looks,” Trump didn't hold back. The president also lashed out at progressive Democrats like AOC and Chuck Schumer for backing Mamdani, warning that NYC is "falling to socialism." Who is Zohran Mamdani? Can a Marxist win New York? And why is Trump going nuclear over this primary upset? Watch the full story.

SCHUMER vs TRUMP: Senator Chuck Schumer is under fire after suggesting that a Trump-era hiring freeze may have contributed to a tragic Mexican Navy ship crash at the Brooklyn Bridge that killed two cadets. Schumer pointed to weakened Coast Guard staffing as a potential cause, linking it to national security concerns. However, the Department of Homeland Security dismissed his claims, saying the Coast Guard was exempt and fully operational. Conservatives and media figures blasted Schumer’s remarks as baseless and political, with Fox News’ Mark Levin calling him “stupid and evil.”
