Heard on the Hill
What we're hearing from people we trust on and around the Hill
DHS wants BBB: A one-pager from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that’s circulating on the Hill makes the case for the Big, Beautiful Bill, noting that “if we want to continue delivering mass deportations for the American people, even in the face of future riots, the Senate must pass the Big Beautiful Bill.”
BUSTED: The American Accountability Foundation (AAF) announced a project called “Bloomberg Busted” to expose Michael Bloomberg’s funding of left-wing causes and his use of political influence for personal gain. This includes his $19 million in contributions to the Biden campaign in 2024 only months before the Biden administration proposed a sweetheart rule that would force financial institutions to adopt Bloomberg LP’s own system for identifying financial instruments.
AM YISRAEL CHAI: A new Senate GOP Conference poll distributed to Republican senators illustrates the conference’s support of Israel amid the Jewish nation’s military strikes against Iran.
APP FOR THAT: Another Democrat running for office was just detained by ICE; Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) has a simple solution. “There should be an app so Democrats can schedule their next staged arrest by ICE,” he suggested.
CLOSER: In a huge win for Sen. Thom Tillis (R., N.C), his provision to close a tax loophole that benefited liberal litigation hedge funds was included in the Senate’s reconciliation package. The Tillis provision has been praised by conservatives for lowering costs for Americans.
EMPTY THREATS: As the radical Islamist regime in Iran continues to crumble under the Israeli military’s operation, Tehran Mayor Alireza Zakani made a dire, but empty, threat against President Donald Trump, wildly claiming his life is now in the hands of Iran.
UNACCEPTABLE: Maura Sullivan, a Democratic candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st District, posted a photo where someone held a sign saying “86 47,” which is a reference to assassinating President Donald Trump.
TRIPLE CROWN?: Failed Democratic House candidate Christina Bohannan is planning to run against Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R., Iowa) again. The Washington Reporter’s Matthew Foldi first broke years ago that much of Bohannan’s self-proclaimed engineering experience came from an internship in Florida.
VICTORY: Congratulations to the Republican Team for, once again, dominating the Democrats in the annual Congressional Baseball Game; more importantly, thanks to everyone for donating millions of dollars to charity along the way.
