Thune Plows Ahead with Big Beautiful Deadline Despite Question Marks
Thune Plows Ahead with Big Beautiful Deadline Despite Question Marks
by Suzanne Bowdey
Every couple of years, all eyes are suddenly trained on one of Congress's most under-the-radar jobs: the Senate parliamentarian. For 13 years, Elizabeth MacDonough has equal parts elated and frustrated parties in their attempts to squeeze major legislation through the reconciliation process. The first-ever woman to hold the job, MacDonough has played the referee through four administrations and an array of different Senate leaders. It's up to her to settle the bitter disputes over which parts of the Big Beautiful Bill are relevant under the rules and which aren't. In other words, she's the most important person to Donald Trump's agenda that most people have never heard of.

Executive Director of the National Center's Free Enterprise Project, Stefan Padfield, and The Washington Stand's Suzanne Bowdey join Casey Harper to unpack this year's seemingly toned-down "Pride Month" and whether this is a trend we'll continue to see.

by Ben Johnson
As injuries from the abortion pill force women into emergency rooms nationwide, congressional Democrats tried and failed to rebuke a federal investigation into the controversial drug's mounting side effects.

Senate Unites to Support C-SPAN
by Evelyn Elliott
A friend of mine from my family's homeschool speech and debate club won third place in C-SPAN's StudentCam Video Documentary Competition in 2018. He invited several of his friends, including me, to participate in his prize - getting a behind-the-scenes tour in C-SPAN's Washington, D.C. headquarters. At the time, I knew nothing about C-SPAN. What I did know is that I hated politics and the news, and this was going to be a boring trip. To my surprise, it wasn't.
