Two more candidates jump into the Congressional race in Kentucky's 6th district, Gov. Beshear talks about his winning strategy in South Carolina, two Kentucky congressmen praise Trump's signing of the HALT Act, Congressman Massie is pushing to make the Epstein files public, and a group serving adults with disabilities is expanding its mission.

Tonight on The Last Word: Democrats call for a Congressional hearing on the Epstein files. Also, Donald Trump denies he's planning to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell. And Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro endorses Janelle Stelson for Congress. Rep. Jamie Raskin, Paul Krugman, and Janelle Stelson join Lawrence O'Donnell.

In a dramatic legislative shift, Congress has passed a $9.4 billion rescission package—the first of its kind since 1999—eliminating unspent funds from the Biden administration's climate, COVID, and infrastructure programs. Key targets include NPR, foreign aid, and left-leaning NGOs. Backed by Senate Republicans and championed by former President Trump, the cuts are seen as a symbolic but strategic strike against bloated government and progressive institutions. As Speaker Mike Johnson signals more cuts ahead, this vote marks the opening salvo in a broader battle over the federal budget and America's political direction.

Last week's signing of the OBBBA serves as federal policymakers' latest reverse Robin Hood effort, or to redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich. Per a February RAND report, over the past 50 years $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. The 2017 Trump tax cult left billionaires $6 trillion richer and the OBBBA, otherwise termed the Bill for Billionaires Act, is expected to achieve similar of not greater results largely because the number of billionaires has dramatically increased to nearly 2,000 over the past decade. The legislation is (partially) offset moreover by cutting Medicaid spending by upwards of $1 trillion that is expected to lower Medicaid enrollment by 11 million and cause 17,000 premature deaths annually. SNAP spending will be reduced $300billion leaving three million even more hungry. The bill will add an estimated 3.8 trillion to the deficit, atop the $8.4 trillion left by the first Trump administration. Financing the deficit that approximates $1 trillion annually represents more than the DoD's budget or money that could be spent on other things - like healthcare. Largely because of increasingly regressive tax policies and unaffordable healthcare, studies conclude the bottom 60% of US households by income are unable to achieve what is s defined as a "minimal quality of life" or one in which families can afford adequate housing, healthcare, child care and food. See these two related research efforts by Prof. Ferguson, “Political Investments” at: https://www.phenomenalworld.org/interviews/thomas-ferguson/ and Ferguson, et al., “How Much Can the US Congress Resist Political Money?” at: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3593916.

Guilty as Sin: Uncovering New Evidence of Corruption and How Hillary Clinton and the Democrats Derailed the FBI InvestigationAn exciting new book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Edward Klein! When FBI Director James Comey announced in July that Hillary Clinton would not be indicted for mishandling classified information, America was stunned.Had the scandal-happy Clintons escaped justice once again? Not so fast, says investigative reporter and bestselling author Ed Klein. There is far more behind Comey's shocking press conference than meets the eye -- and a minefield of email evidence between Hillary and the White House.In his astonishing new book, Klein uncovers the real story behind Hillary's email scandals and the dirty political games that have kept her one step ahead of the law - for now. Klein reveals what the FBI's team of 150+ investigators really found on Clinton's server. How Comey originally threatened to resign over White House attempts to intervene in the investigation, and his secret plan to go around the Justice Department if needed. How an unprecedented Congressional investigation during an election year is uncovering new shocking evidence of corruption on a level some would call treason. And what Bill and Hillary still have left in their bag of tricks in their desperate quest to get back into the Oval Office.https://amzn.to/44CAW8DThe Beauty Queen: Let No Deed Go UnpublishedFROM THE BOOK'S BACK COVER:My book's been a long time in the making. Factual, emotional, shocking, and not for the faint-of-heart, THE BEAUTY QUEEN is all this and more. As soon as my first-grade teacher, Sister Steven Maria, taught me to write, I began expressing myself with words. Through the years, I consistently documented my life through writing. You will quickly learn I don't believe in coincidences.My story is true; I've lived it all and NO—it isn't a bragging book. The Beauty Queen is a complicated adventure through the shame of incest, sexual abuse, dominance, and control; of once-in-a-lifetime experiences and a living death. But, never fear. There are many funny stories, personal photos and documents, a few naughty revelations, and more than enough "shock" to keep your attention.Consider my book a how-to book on surviving a life targeted by Hate, Jealousy, Bullying, Evil, and Intimidation. I consider my disclosures a tribute to me-- the Beauty Queen—who, even today, refuses to be a victim. My story is also about the “little girl in me.” She's my life-long friend—the one who never grew up, gave up, or, gave in.Some people will purchase my book based on THE CLINTON CHAPTERS. I had no plans to include the Clintons in my book until last year when I learned, once again, I was being followed, spied on, and threatened by Hillary's Henchmen. Flaunting her importance this election year, Hillary is using the same old "playbook" from the nineties to threaten me. Tired of Hillary's bullying, I expanded my book to include the Clintons. For the first time-ever, I expose the intimate details of my three month encounter with Bill Clinton. And, I reveal the exclusive revelations about Hillary---as told to me by Bill.I've endured Hillary's ugly harassment since 1992. Trust me; Hillary likes to play "dirty" so, I'm digging in the dirt to share each life-threatening moment she directed my way during the nineties. Best of all, I reveal the dirty details of my “run-in” with both Clintons and Madeline Albright---—in China.I invite you to read my story. You'll learn a multitude of truths about others but most of all about me, Sally Miller, the woman the media-- long ago--labeled: The Beauty Queen.https://amzn.to/4eJmRuSBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Western New England University political science professor Tim Vercellotti speaks with WAMC's Ian Pickus on "The Congressional Corner" July 8.

Despite months of handwringing and a litany complaints from dozens of Congressional Republicans, President Donald Trump scored yet another major political victory Friday when he signed his One Big Beautiful Bill into law, just like he wanted. The measure, stuffed with Republican spending and policy priorities, threatens to balloon the federal deficit by more than $3 trillion dollars over the next decade while kicking millions of poor Americans off safety net programs like Medicaid and food assistance. But the effects won't be felt immediately. Jacob Bogage, Congressional economics correspondent for The Washington Post, breaks down the details of the new law.And in headlines: The death toll from the devastating flooding in central Texas topped 70 people, the White House sent mixed messages on the future of Trump's tariffs, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is headed to the White House again amid a renewed push for a ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza.Show Notes:Check out Jacob's work – www.washingtonpost.com/people/jacob-bogage/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Eleanor Kennelly Gaetan joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to discuss the critical need for legislative reform to combat online sexual exploitation, focusing on Section 230 immunity and emerging laws like the Take It Down Act. Eleanor Kennelly Gaetan Eleanor Kennelly Gaetan is director of public policy at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation in Washington DC. She has been an advocate for stronger laws to fight sexual exploitation and has had a role in passing key anti-trafficking laws like the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act and SESTA-FOSTA, which changed Section 230 to hold tech platforms more accountable for their role in enabling sex trafficking. Key Points Human trafficking was only identified as a crime in the year 2000 with the passage of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, making it a relatively new field where small movements have achieved significant progress. Eleanor witnessed firsthand in Romania how young women were lured abroad with false promises of legitimate work, only to be trafficked into commercial sexual exploitation, highlighting the critical need for proper victim services rather than detention centers. The Take It Down Act represents a crucial breakthrough by criminalizing the uploading of non-consensual sexually explicit material for the first time and requiring platforms to provide real human help desks for removal requests within 48 hours. Image-based sexual abuse creates ongoing trauma for victims because unlike other trafficking incidents that end, having images online means "you're being raped and it's online and you can't get it down," creating continuous retraumatization. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, passed in 1996 when the internet was nascent, provides broad immunity to internet service providers and has been interpreted by courts as creating a "wall of immunity" for social media platforms. The case against Twitter involving 13-year-old boys demonstrates how platforms monetize child exploitation material through advertising revenue while claiming Section 230 immunity protects them from liability. California's Age Appropriate Design Code represents one approach to reform by requiring companies to test products for age appropriateness before launch, using product liability law to sidestep Section 230 immunity issues. Meta tracks children's negative emotions and targets vulnerable youth with harmful content, including targeting kids who fear being "too fat" with eating disorder material, showing the deliberate exploitation of minors. Bipartisan support exists for reform, with both Democratic and Republican senators preparing to introduce a bill to repeal Section 230, recognizing that tech companies are not policing themselves effectively. The Social Media Victims Law Center currently represents over 4,000 families whose children have been harmed or killed due to social media platform irresponsibility enabled by Section 230 immunity. Congressional education on online harms has accelerated with over 24 briefings since 2019, positioning the current Congress as potentially the most informed ever on these issues. Federal guidance on best practices remains insufficient, with some jurisdictions like San Diego developing excellent collaborative models while others lack functional systems for moving victims into services.
