  Governor DeSantis was on with Fox and Friends this morning and was asked about the debt ceiling agreement made over the weekend. Watch: DeSantis said  “To say you can do 4 trillion in increases in the next year and a half – I mean that’s a massive amount of spending.”  He blames this on the government sticking with massive budget that began during 2020 with all the COVID spending. Watch the full interview below: In an interview on "Fox & Friends," DeSantis, who  officially announced last week  that he would seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, said the tentative bill requires a "massive amount of spending" that will add trillions in U.S. debt without offering any significant spending cuts.

One of the Republicans’ concessions, however, included removing work requirements for social programs like Medicaid and SNAP, something  that Allison insisted is "offensive."  "I think it’s important to also note that Social Security, Medicare...

  A Nebraska bill combining a ban on most abortions after 12 weeks and restrictions on gender-affirming care for transgender Nebraskans under 19 is poised to become law after the state’s unicameral legislature voted for its passage Friday. Nebraska’s LB 574, also known as the “Let Them Grow Act” was first introduced to bar health care providers from performing gender transition surgeries and to restrict access to puberty blocking medication and hormone treatments for anyone under 19. It will also severely restrict most abortions at 12 weeks after legislators added a last-minute amendment to the bill on May 17. Republican Gov. Jim Pillen has said he will sign the bill into law. “All children deserve a chance to grow and live happy, fruitful lives. This includes pre-born boys and girls, and it includes children struggling with their gender identity,” he said in a statement after the bill’s passage. “These kids deserve the opportunity to grow and explore who they are and want to be, a...

  Planned Parenthood called for court packing and term limits for   Supreme Court justices   in its latest judicial reform package on Sunday. Planned Parenthood's proposals come nearly a year after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey in June 2022, allowing states to ban abortion. In addition to court packing and term limits, the group is also calling on Congress to establish a code of ethics for SCOTUS, expand the size of lower courts and end single-judge divisions. While the group's proposal calls for an expanded Supreme Court bench, or court packing, it does not specify how many justices should be added. "Planned Parenthood refuses to accept that our courts can only exist as they do now, and understands that reforms are integral to building the public’s trust that the courts can and will function to uphold hard-won freedoms and advance justice for future generations," the group's president, Alexis McGill Johnson, said in a s...
