GOP Promises Thorough Oversight Hearings On Trump Executive Moves

Wed, Sep 24, 2025 at 7:07 pm

Senate Republicans say upcoming hearings will provide thorough oversight of President Trump’s use of executive power. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) says he;s observed a lot of presidents and says they all try to exert as much executive power as they can. Then he says as a matter of course those decisions often have to face scutiny from the courts and Congress, Thune told CNN Republican senators “have a responsibility as an independent, coequal branch of the government to make sure that we’re doing appropriate oversight of these decisions.”

The GOP Leads Congressional Approval Rating

Sat, Sep 13, 2025 at 6:42 am

WASHINGTON – Congressional Republicans’ approval rating outperformed their Democratic counterparts for the second time this year, according to the latest Fox News national survey. Bernie Bennett has this report.

VERBATIM:
Thirty-three percent of registered voters approve of the job Democrats in Congress are doing (66% disapprove), up 3 points from a near record-low 30% in March.

While their Republican colleagues garner a higher 38% approval rating (61% disapproval), that’s down 5 points from a record-high 43% six months ago.

The decline in congressional Republican approval comes from within: 76% of self-identified GOPers approve, but that’s down from 88% in March. And while congressional Democrats earn the approval from just 58% of self-identified Democrats, that’s up from 49% six months ago.

Doctors are urging the Supreme Court to protect women’s sports

VERBATIM: The American College of Pediatricians has filed a brief in an upcoming case that involves state laws banning boys from playing against girls in sports. In the brief the ACP says when female sports are invaded by males “girls predictably lose roster spots and scholarships, face unequal competition, and in some sports bear higher injury risk. Those are real medical and developmental harms to minors.” The high court will hear arguments this fall. MH SRN NEWS
