Vance casts tie-breaking Senate vote to kill effort to rebuke Trump’s trade policy

Vice President JD Vance late Wednesday cast a tie-breaking vote to kill a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s tariffs in the Senate.
Earlier in the evening, the Senate rejected the resolution that would have effectively blocked the president’s global tariffs by revoking the emergency order Trump is using to enact them. Two senators who were set to vote for the resolution, GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, were absent, allowing the resolution to fail 49-49.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune then moved to ensure that tariff opponents were unable to bring their resolution back up for consideration at a later date, forcing Vance to travel to Capitol Hill to break another tie.

Giants' Abdul Carter also received prank call during NFL draft

New York Giants rookie pass rusher Abdul Carter also received a prank call during the NFL draft, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
The call came Thursday night when the Jacksonville Jaguars were on the clock after acquiring the No. 2 pick from the Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster trade. The caller said he was from the Jaguars and told Carter they were going to select him second overall.
"It's unfortunate that these private numbers are getting to the people making the prank calls," Rosenhaus told Schefter. "Abdul and I knew it was B.S. and didn't even tell his family about the call."
The Jaguars, of course, selected Travis Hunter with their pick, then Carter was picked at No. 3 by the Giants.
Roberts might hold key SCOTUS vote over first publicly funded religious charter school

Chief Justice John Roberts appears to hold the key vote over whether the Supreme Court will allow the nation’s first publicly funded religious charter school in Oklahoma.
Roberts was the only justice whose vote seemed in doubt after the court heard more than two hours of arguments Wednesday in a major culture-war clash involving the separation of church and state.
The court seemed otherwise deeply divided.
quote:
Four other conservative justices seemed firmly on the side of the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School and the state charter school board that approved it.
quote:
The three liberal justices seemed just as likely to vote to affirm an Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling that held that the taxpayer-funded school would entangle church and state in violation of the First Amendment.
quote:
Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself without explanation. Barrett previously taught law at Notre Dame and is close friends with Notre Dame law professor Nicole Garnett, a leading proponent of publicly funded religious charter schools.

The US is ready to sign a minerals deal with Ukraine "this afternoon", says Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
Both sides made some "last-minute changes" to the deal last night, but he adds "it's the same agreement that we agreed to on the weekend"
Ukraine's economy minister Yulia Svyrydenko is flying to Washington to sign the deal, the country's prime minister confirms
A draft of the deal, seen by the BBC, creates a joint US-Ukraine government investment fund to prospect for critical minerals in Ukraine
The initial agreement was due to be signed in February but fell apart following a heated exchange between US President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart

Rep. Hamadeh (R-AZ) Introduces Legislation to BAN Ranked Choice Voting in Federal Election

Rep. Abe Hamadeh and Rep. Nick Begich (R-AK) have introduced an election integrity bill in the House of Representatives to prohibit ranked choice voting in federal elections.
Hamadeh’s Preventing Ranked Choice Corruption Act seeks to amend the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) to end “the confusing and disenfranchising voting scheme of Ranked Choice Voting,” a press release from Hamadeh’s office states.
The undemocratic scam of Ranked Choice Voting goes against the principle of “one person, one vote,” allowing voters to rank candidates in order of preference and triggering an automatic runoff election based on the ranked totals if a candidate does not receive a majority of first-choice votes.
Several states, including Arizona, have seen attempts to implement the system and destroy fair elections.
“The same Democrat pawns who support allowing non-citizen voting without voter ID and same day voter registration also want to turn our democracy into a rank choice voting scheme,” Hamadeh said in a statement announcing his bill.
“Their motives are clear – they do not want to help Americans vote – they only want to help corrupt politicians win.”
