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.”

PHOENIX (AP) – South Carolina smothers UConn to advance to NCAA Women’s title game.
Reporter Bernie Bennett has details.

VERBATIM: Ta’Niya Latson scored 16 and Agot Makeer added 14 points and South Carolina played stifling defense to beat UConn 62-48 on Friday night, ending the Huskies’ 54-game winning streak and advancing to the women’s NCAA Tournament championship game.

The Gamecocks have now reached the NCAA championship game in four of the last five seasons, including the past three. They will be looking to win a fourth national title Sunday when they face UCLA, capping off another March Madness.

UConn entered the Final Four undefeated for the ninth time in school history and for the third straight time left without a title. The Huskies also lost in the 2017 and 2018 national semifinals.

Easter is coming again

VERBATIM: For the world’s 300 million Orthodox Christians THIS is Holy Week with Easter to be celebrated on Sunday, the 12th. That’s because the Orthodox Church continues to use the Julian calendar to plan its holidays, putting it behind the Gregorian calendar which the rest of the world’s Christian began using about 400 years ago. Most Orthodox Christians live in Russia and parts of Eastern Europe and in Greece. MH REPORTING
