Republicans' efforts to slash foreign aid and clawback funding for public media is headed to the president's desk.

The House passed the measure, but not before it was held up for many, many hours by lawmakers,

including some Republicans, demanding that the White House released

thousands of pages of files on convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

That's right. The recisions package got mixed up with Jeffrey Epstein.

We'll talk about that.

A warning from the Republican senator there.

And there's more news. And there's more news,
