Clinton Maintains She Never Met Epstein, Blames GOP for Cover-Up in Deposition

Hillary Clinton testified under subpoena before the House Oversight Committee that she did not know Epstein and never visited his islands or properties; she criticized Republican questioning as part of a cover-up and said the roughly seven-hour deposition in Chappaqua included discussion about UFOs and Pizzagate, with Democrats urging due process as the panel plans to release video and transcript and continue questioning other witnesses, including Bill Clinton.

Widow Slams GOP Rep's 'Family Values' After Alleged Affair and Wife's Suicide

Adrian Aviles, husband of Regina Santos-Aviles—the aide who died by suicide after an alleged affair with Rep. Tony Gonzales—tells CNN that Gonzales’ 'family values' image is a sham and accuses him of predatory behavior toward his wife; he says more graphic messages exist and that his wife’s death followed a depressive episode. Gonzales denies the affair, claims he’s being blackmailed, and has faced calls from Republicans to resign as the controversy unfolds.

Moreno mulls NRSC chair bid for 2028

Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno is weighing a bid to lead the Senate GOP’s campaign arm for the 2028 cycle. While he hasn’t announced, multiple GOP lawmakers say he’s discussed the role, and insiders expect he would likely win if he runs, given his fundraising prowess and broad network, including ties to the White House and former President Trump. Potential competition could come from Pete Ricketts, but Moreno’s momentum appears strong. The live updates also include coverage of Hillary Clinton’s deposition in the Epstein probe and related Oversight Committee dynamics.

Wisconsin approves yearlong postpartum Medicaid after leader’s reversal

The Wisconsin Assembly voted 95-1 to join a federal program extending Medicaid coverage for low-income new mothers to 12 months after birth, up from 60 days, after Speaker Robin Vos dropped his opposition. The measure, already cleared by the Senate, now heads to Gov. Tony Evers, who is expected to sign. The policy carries an estimated state cost of about $9.4 million with federal funds covering roughly $14.1 million, and was supported by hospitals, medical groups, and advocates for mothers.

Virginia Supreme Court clears path for Democrats’ redistricting referendum

A Virginia county judge briefly blocked the April 21 referendum on a Democratic constitutional amendment to let the General Assembly redraw congressional districts in response to mid-decade GOP gerrymandering, but the Virginia Supreme Court quickly overruled the ruling, allowing the vote to proceed. The measure, if approved by voters, could empower redistricting after other states engage in mid-decade redraws and potentially yield up to four new Democratic seats; early voting would begin in March.

Texas primaries set stage for high-stakes 2026 Senate race as GOP fractures and Dem splits emerge

Early voting starts for Texas’ March primaries, pitting four-term GOP Sen. John Cornyn against Trump-aligned Attorney General Ken Paxton, with Rep. Wesley Hunt also in the mix; the race underscores a clash between establishment and MAGA factions. Democrats are divided between Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico, reflecting tensions over electability in a red-leaning state. A GOP runoff is likely in May if no candidate secures a majority, Paxton currently holding an edge in polls, and Trump’s endorsement could still influence the race.

Collins backs SAVE Act but signals it won’t see a floor vote

GOP Senator Susan Collins says she would vote for the SAVE Act but expects it will never come to a vote due to the Senate’s 60‑vote filibuster; the piece argues this is a political maneuver to please the GOP base while avoiding a controversial floor decision, claiming Senate Leader John Thune has no incentive to bring it up and that the bill is effectively dead in the current environment.

Texas Republicans recalibrate on immigration as Latino voters rethink support

South Texas Republicans who once pushed hardline deportations are moderating their immigration message amid rising backlash from Hispanic voters; Reps. Monica De La Cruz and Tony Gonzales advocate targeted enforcement and new visa programs (like H-2C) while engaging with the White House to push for reform. The strategy aims to preserve Trump-era gains with Latinos but risks alienating the party’s base and could influence control of pivotal battleground districts ahead of the 2026 elections.

Trump vents at GOP after racist video backlash, signaling a brewing rift

President Donald Trump reportedly vented to allies about GOP lawmakers who condemned a racist video posted to Truth Social, targeting Sen. Tim Scott and Sen. Katie Britt and warning of consequences for allies who oppose his priorities. The White House removed the clip after backlash from top Republicans, and Trump said he wouldn’t discipline the unnamed staffer blamed for posting it. The episode underscores growing tensions within the GOP ahead of the 2026 midterms and raises questions about loyalty and leadership within Trump’s circle.
