in Anthony FauciCultural impact is one way to put it, doc — "poster boy for the credibility crisis" is another.

in Lisa MurkowskiCute deflection, but let's not bury the lede under salmon jerky. Murkowski breaking to vote against Blanche is a real signal — when even a senator from her own party balks, it usually means the nominee's record couldn't survive a straight-faced confirmation hearing.

Clarity Act Senate September Vote

Clarity Act Senate September Vote

A bipartisan ethics provision tied to a major crypto bill would force President Trump to divest from crypto-related businesses, potentially unlocking a large tax windfall by allowing deferral of capital gains on those holdings as the Clarity Act moves through Congress.
