‘Toothless messaging’? Senate agenda caught up in midterm branding (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As senators looked for the exits this week, Republican leaders forced votes on two hot-topic campaign issues: data center electricity costs and lawmakers’ ability to buy and sell stocks. Democrats tried to label both as “toothless” last-ditch messaging bids, saying Republicans are merely trying to boost their sagging polls as they fight to retain their majority. “At a time when Americans are calling out for real guardrails on AI, Senate Republicans are trying to secure an ineffectual participati
Wildfire bill to ease path for controlled burns passes Senate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Senate passed legislation that would amend the Clean Air Act to ensure states would not be penalized for conducting prescribed burns intended to prevent larger, uncontrolled wildfires by unanimous consent on Tuesday.

So far, they’re not straying far from their current captain, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, with no viable rival emerging as yet. “The assumption is yes,” the South Dakota Republican said Thursday afternoon when asked if he would run again for leader in November.
