Secret Memo Showdown Between Rep. Adam Schiff and Rep. Devin Nunes
More drama is unfolding around the Nunes memo which allegedly criticizes the FBI's handling of the Russia Investigation.

Mother Jones' Ben Dreyfuss discusses whether this development could prevent the president from releasing the memo. On Tuesday the president was overheard saying he'll "100%" release the memo.

At some 940-pages, the legislation is a sprawling collection of tax breaks, spending cuts and other Republican priorities, including new money for national defense and deportations.
President Donald Trump wants his “big, beautiful” bill of tax breaks and spending cuts on his desk to be singed into law by Independence Day. And he’s pushing the slow-rolling Senate to make it happen sooner rather than later. Trump met with Senate Majority Leader John Thune at the White House early this week and has been dialing senators for one-on-one chats, using both the carrot and stick to encourage them to act. But it’s still a long road ahead for the bill. Senators want to make changes to protect Medicaid and to make sure some tax breaks become permanent. Elon Musk called the whole bill a "disgusting abomination.”
