Offsets and Confirmations Shape a Busy Day on Capitol Hill
TL;DR Summary
A busy Capitol Hill day features Republicans pushing a GOP-backed $95 billion budget reconciliation framework with proposed offsets, while multiple high‑profile confirmations unfold for Trump nominees (ASPR vaccine-era readiness chief candidate Sean Kaufman, CDC nominee Erica Schwartz, DNI nominee Jay Clayton, and Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche). The hearings center on vaccine safety and scientific independence, with lawmakers scrutinizing past statements and potential political interference, alongside broader coverage of Israel aid debates, a crypto-regulation bill update, and Epstein-related oversight stories.
