JEFFERSON COUNTY, KENTUCKY, JUL 18 – House Republicans approved $9 billion in cuts mainly targeting international aid and public broadcasting, while Senate advanced Emil Bove's controversial judicial nomination despite protests.

  • House Republicans approved $9 billion in spending cuts, and the measure now heads to the president’s desk.
  • Earlier this week, $8 billion was slated for withdrawal from the US Agency for International Development and $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and the Lancet study found these reductions could cause over 14 million additional deaths by 2030.
  • Facing sentencing on Monday, the police officer convicted of Breonna Taylor’s civil rights violation will be sentenced, while the DOJ in a court filing Wednesday requested just a one-day jail term.
  • Following the Journal’s publication, President Donald Trump vowed to sue the Wall Street Journal and its owner over a 2003 Epstein-linked letter, and he ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi `to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony`.
  • Amid financial pressures, CBS announced The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will be canceled next year, even though the series is typically the highest-rated late-night program.
