The Senate released a plan Friday to debate and vote on a massive package of bills before exiting for August recess.
Leadership outlined a plan for voting on several bills and exiting for recess, which included voting on a continuing resolution (CR), confirming acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and passing a voter identification bill introduced by Republican Ohio Sen. Jon Husted.
Senators had until 3:25 p.m. EDT to object. If any objections were made, leadership would not have unanimous consent, but could still follow through with their plan. The chamber will likely be voting throughout the night and into the early hours of Saturday morning. (RELATED: Senate Passes Lindsey Graham's Neocon-Backed Bill Targeting Russia)

The CR would fund the federal government through Dec. 11 and prevent a shutdown. The upper chamber will also vote on Republican North Carolina Sen. Ted Budd's amendment that would strip a CR provision delaying

Training camp drama never ceases to entertain, and here we go again.
Going into the 2026 campaign, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson isn't sure what his future is with the team. (RELATED: Kirk Cousins, Maxx Crosby Get In Scuffle During Raiders Training Camp)
The QB, who is an ex-No. 4 overall draft selection, could potentially be traded. However, he went on the record to say that he hasn't had a recent conversation with his agent about the trade request he made over the offseason.
"I haven't really even talked to my agent about (the trade request) recently)," said Richardson while speaking with the media. "I haven't talked to (Chris) Ballard … I'm not necessarily sure what's going on. But I'm just here right now, trying to make sure I can stamp my foot on this team."

A South Florida icon is calling it a career.
Teddy Bridgewater, a veteran quarterback for the Detroit Lions, has made the decision to leave the franchise in the middle of training camp. He was put on the reserve/retired list prior to practice Sunday.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell stated that he's under the belief that this is the final retirement for the 33-year-old. Previously, Bridgewater retired following the 2023 campaign, but made a return to Detroit in 2024.

"I think he can only truly answer that, but I feel like this is where it's at for sure right now. This is where it needs to be and where he felt," said Campbell. "And his biggest worry was letting us down. That's the type of guy he is, and he's not."
He continued: "That's as far as it can get. He meant a lot."

Matt McQuillan, a former player on the PGA Tour, has died suddenly at 45 years old.
McQuillan passed away Wednesday at Kingston General Hospital in Ontario, Canada, according to an online obituary. The golfer was surrounded by his family. McQuillan's cause of death is unknown. (RELATED: UFC Fighter Allan Nascimento Dead At 34 After 'Apparent Heart Attack')
"Whether on the course or in everyday life, he had a remarkable ability to bring people together, offering encouragement, laughter, and genuine friendship to everyone he met. His welcoming personality and unwavering kindness made him a beloved figure within Kingston's golfing community and beyond," read McQuillan's obituary, per the Kingston Whig-Standard.
McQuillan, who is a native of Kingston, Ontario, Canada, became a professional in 2003, ultimately getting his PGA Tour card in 2010 through Q-School. In 2011, he competed in 21 events, making seven cuts, including a T-3 finish in the John Deere Classic. That performance was the best finish of McQuillan's career.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has been candid about the terms in which he was given his job. Keep enforcement quiet. Keep the headlines manageable. Stay the bigger political fight until after the midterms.
The base knew the plan too, and for months it tolerated "Enforcement Twitter," the steady barrage of posts touting individual high-profile arrests and removal numbers in the low thousands.
But Mullin's own missteps over the past month ran that patience out early, which is why the president's coalition is tearing into him, forcing the White House to intervene more than once.
The anger is earned. The country voted in 2024, and the critics are reading the mandate correctly.
But the fight over Mullin is one piece in driving towards the right strategy, because quiet-for-now is not a plan any more than loud-right-now is, and I say that as one of the loudest. Both are postures, and postures do not get anyone to Port-au-Prince.
The greater failure, as fall approaches, is that no one is building for the President the post-midterm machine to carry out consequential deportations at scale, the scale that
Police reportedly arrested a man who is alleged to have broken into Kim Kardashian's mansion, grabbed her belongings, and taken a joyride in a nearby car.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that a 27-year-old male allegedly burglarized Kardashian's Los Angeles mansion Sunday, while it was under renovation. They alleged he forced his way inside the star's Hidden Hills mansion through a door in the afternoon.
A security guard claimed the man took items from Kardashian's home and loaded them into a vehicle, before taking a joyride in a staffer's car, according to TMZ.
The guard said he witnessed the burglary in progress and called the sheriff's office to report it as the man took the car for a
The difference between the populist & libertarian right and the rest of the right (the part many of us endearingly call 'Con Inc.') has arguably never been as clear as it was during last week's protracted argument about what a burrito should cost.
If you missed it somehow, just type "$20 burrito" into your X search bar, and you'll get caught up pretty quickly. I'm not going to do a blow-by-blow rehash of the whole thing here except to say that I fall firmly on the side of the debate that argues that a decent, edible burrito that won't explode your heart shouldn't cost $20, even with sales tax. I do, however, have a few things to say about the affordability issue writ large, particularly the elephant in the room most 'conservatives' conveniently ignore.
To set the table, there's no denying that young people are suffering under the current economic landscape. Just 24 years ago, my wife and I got married in our 20s and immediately bought a 3-bedroom, 1-bath house for a grand total of $67,500. We put
Major Champion Winner Sparks Fierce Debate After Demanding What Kind Of Guy His Daughter Brings Home
American professional golfer Brian Harman, in an interview with the PGA Tour, shared a list of at least 25 requirements for anyone who wants to date his daughter Saturday, the clip sparked debate across social media.
The championship-winning golfer included several blue-collar skills on his list, including changing a tire and the oil and knowing how to start fires indoors and outdoors.
Other requirements included knowing "how to spiral a football and be able to catch one thrown to you from 20 yards." (RELATED: LIV Golf Secures Funding Through Lead Investor, Golfers To Be Majority Equity Holders)
Some on the list appeared to simply be basic social skills, such as knowing how to write a well-crafted thank-you letter and speak at a wedding.
One requirement was knowing how to back a car into a parking spot. Another was knowing "how to back a trailer and understand trailering things."
Former Salomon Brothers and Citigroup investment banker John LeFevre reposted the video with a list of 15 of his own requirements to date
Republican senators fighting to cancel the August recess did not receive enough support from their side of the aisle to hold a roll call vote on the matter, a source familiar told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee demanded a vote on whether to adjourn, although he accepted a voice vote that did not require senators to formally register a position. Senate Republicans lacked the necessary 20 senators to get a sufficient second, which was the level of support needed to order a roll call vote, a source familiar told the DCNF.
The ordinary threshold for a sufficient second is typically 11 votes, although sometimes 20 votes are needed.
Lee said leadership agreed to hold a voice vote if he agreed to vote on "critical items" on the floor. The majority of senators supported the adjournment and left Washington, D.C., until Sept. 14.
"I keep getting asked why we didn't have a roll call vote on the recess, as I had repeatedly requested, and ultimately settled for a voice vote," Lee said. "In this case, the recess was set up
A woman in Florida has lost her arm following an alligator attack that took place Saturday. A hero boater who was in the area possibly saved her life.
With a group of swimmers, the woman was in the Silver River around Ocala when all of a sudden she saw an alligator heading in her direction, and in response, she used a paddle in an attempt to ward it off. The gator instead bit her right arm and pulled her underwater. (RELATED: Golfer Films Himself Getting Struck By Lightning After Committing Two Of The Biggest No-Nos)
Not far from the scene, John Gamache and his father were on a boat eating lunch when they could hear the commotion.
"I looked just upriver from us a couple hundred feet and saw an alligator head way above the water and going full speed towards the swimmers," said Gamache while speaking with FOX 35 Orlando.

WHAT THE HELL IS WOKE 2?
Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez copped to something conservatives have been saying for years: woke got a little crazy.
But AOC admitted something else important: apparently the excesses of the progressive cultural movement around 2020 were only "Woke 1."
