'I wish it were that easy': Republican senator swats down Trump threats

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) revealed the strain of leading Republicans under President Donald Trump's relentless pressure to eliminate the filibuster and pass an election overhaul bill. During a Wednesday Capitol interview with Politico, Thune disputed Trump's simultaneous claim that he "has the votes" to kill the filibuster, stating he lacks sufficient support for such action. “He thinks I can wave the magic wand,” Thune told the outlet, “I wish it were that easy.”The Senate leader attributed the challenge partly to Trump's primary involvement shaping the conference's current makeup. Thune also noted the significant loss of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who previously served as a trusted intermediary capable of speaking candidly to the president. Politico addressed Trump's comments, specifically when he questioned whether Thune was “the man for the job” of leading Senate Republicans. "[If Trump could find somebody else to do this job," Thune said, "It might be a big relief.”Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

Katie Miller sought Fauci's guidance during COVID-19 despite new attacks

Dr. Anthony Fauci's published diaries have exposed contradictions in Katie Miller's stance toward the physician, per reports. Katie, a former Trump administration official whose husband Stephen Miller serves as White House Deputy Chief of Staff, has called for Fauci's imprisonment and rejected his federal pardon. However, Fauci's diary entries revealed he provided extensive personal medical support to Miller during 2020, including guidance during her pregnancy, her husband's COVID-19 diagnosis, and a newborn health scare, NOTUS reported. "She is very anxious about getting very ill since she is 10 weeks pregnant. Tonight she had an anxiety reaction. I calmed her over the phone," Dr. Anthony Fauci wrote. "katie Miller is great (tough, smart,but great),” he logged. "Am on phone frequently with katie and Stephen."He also documented frequent phone calls checking on her well-being. When confronted with this evidence, Katie claimed the relationship was purely professional and that she deliberately cultivated friendliness to manage Fauci strategically. The diary's original release contained significantly more references to Katie than a later redacted version, raising questions about the editing process.Watch the video below.
