In today's News Briefs, we learn that Trump is decorating the White House with furniture, artwork and baubles he is apparently seizing from his cabinet members' offices

In an otherwise illuminating and collegial interview, US House Majority Leader Steve Scalise deflected on a few important questions that have answers his constituents need to hear the truth about.

Scalise is a gifted politician, very skilled at delivering punchy soundbites. But it doesn't take much digging to see that his claim of "millions of illegals" signing up for Medicaid can't possibly be the whole story.

Elmo's newest pet project is likely to siphon off more Republican votes than Democratic ones, but that doesn't mean it won't shake things up

The list was supposedly on Pam Bondi's desk - now the FBI says it never existed. Were they lying then, or are they lying now?

Dozens dead and missing - who screwed up in central Texas? Has Essence Fest jumped the shark? Keith Spera spills the tea; Cruz rejects idea DOGE cuts meant more flood deaths, Trump not so sure; So where is Epstein's client list? Now they don't have it?

Did Essence Fest go off the rails because stage crews were unhappy with their treatment? One guy who worked the fest all three nights says yes, that was a factor

Trump, Bondi, Bongino, and many many others in Trumpworld have been telling us for months that Epstein's client list was coming. Now they say it never existed. What?

As much as we don't like to admit it, political decisions have real-world consequences. Is the tragedy in central Texas an example? It's too early to tell, but it's not impossible.

Central Texas floods leave at least 90 dead, amid finger pointing about why warnings didn't reach those who needed them the most

The Diddy Trial was bigger than Sean "Diddy" Combs himself; Just because you accept money for sex doesn't mean you're not a victim; Trump gives out terrible advice for escaping alligators; GOP is counting on you not remembering who took your healthcare away; Yes, northern Idaho is full of racist maniacs and we have the receipts

Somewhere between 11 and 17 million people, including about 250,000 Louisianians will lose their healthcare coverage. Republicans think you either won't notice or won't care or won't know who to blame when the letter comes

Diddy's trial ends with a mixed bag that his attorneys are mostly calling a victory, as he escapes guilty verdicts on the most serious charges

At Alligator Alcatraz, Trump gave out some bad tips for how to escape a pursuing alligator, and that wasn't even the weirdest thing that happened

Scoot gets Ian's reaction to the Diddy verdict - it's good for us to remember that sex workers are, yes, operating illegally but are often the victims of crimes themselves
