Welcome to The Daily Politic Briefing! Good day, listeners. It's Thursday, and the political landscape is buzzing with developments that will shape the coming weeks in Washington. Today, we're bringing you the most significant stories from Capitol Hill, including Republican resistance to budget rescissions, a brewing controversy around Representative Cory Mills, and strategic moves from both parties as they navigate an increasingly contentious political environment. In Today's Briefing: - Senate Republicans push back against a second rescissions package - House GOP leadership's silence on serious allegations against Rep. Cory Mills - Senator Schumer's campaign targeting administration policies across New York - Republican Study Committee's consideration of a second reconciliation bill - Bipartisan efforts on SBA loan program reforms - The race to fill Senator Blackburn's seat as she pursues a gubernatorial bid - Library of Congress under scrutiny for Constitutional text removal Senate Republicans Resist Second Rescissions Package Senate Republicans are showing clear reluctance toward supporting another rescissions package, with several key members expressing concerns about its impact on bipartisan cooperation. Senator Jerry Moran warned that pursuing this path "makes any kind of bipartisan effort on any legislation, including appropriations, much more difficult." While White House officials confirm that further rescissions are "under active discussion," Budget Director Russ Vought is reportedly considering "pocket rescissions" - a move some officials view as potentially illegal. Senator Mike Rounds has suggested incorporating rescissions into the regular Appropriations Committee process instead, while Senator Thom Tillis believes another rescission bill is unlikely before October due to the pressing need to finalize year-end appropriations. Rep. Cory Mills Controversy Draws Attention House Republican leadership has remained notably silent on serious allegations that Representative Cory Mills threatened to release nude photos of his ex-girlfriend. Behind closed doors, some Republicans are privately questioning whether the party should seek another candidate for Mills' Florida district. One lawmaker reportedly asked, "What if he is arrested for real?" while another described the allegations as "disturbing." The situation appears to be escalating, as the ex-girlfriend's lawyer has indicated that a House Ethics complaint is forthcoming. Representative Mills continues to deny all allegations against him. Schumer Launches Campaign Against Administration Policies Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has embarked on a tour across upstate New York, sharply criticizing the administration's policies which he claims are "raising costs, decimating health care and hurting families." The minority leader is making strategic stops in multiple cities to highlight these concerns. Simultaneously, Schumer is leading Senate Democrats in requesting analysis from the Georgetown Center on Health Insurance Reforms regarding the potential impact of Republican-proposed cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act on health insurance plans nationwide. Republican Study Committee Explores Reconciliation 2.0 The Republican Study Committee recently heard proposals from the Economic Policy Innovation Center regarding the possibility of a second budget reconciliation bill. The suggestions included controversial plans to "reform federal bureaucrats' compensation," "end public service loan forgiveness," and "prohibit taxpayer money for 'gender transitions.'" Staff reactions to these proposals were reportedly mixed, with one staffer suggesting there's "not much chance this gets off the ground" due to the hard-line nature of the proposals. The committee plans to hold additional briefings on reconciliation processes moving forward.
