It was a powerful and moving vigil. And tonight thousands of law enforcement families will gather on the National Mall for a candlelight vigil. It's a tradition of Police Week that dates back to 1962 when President Kennedy designated May 15th as Law Enforcement Officers Day. And I'll just add this, guys, when I was standing at that vigil last night and you saw several dozen members of Congress, it struck me, I couldn't count a single Democrat that was there, and it's a shame that you didn't have bipartisan support for something so important like supporting our law enforcement officers.

The viral footage showed McConnell attempting to conclude a Senate hearing, thanking those who'd attended, before a staffer approached him, placing a hand on his shoulder and quietly informing him: Baldwin, Shaheen, and Kennedy still have questions.

Axelrod first brought up the idea of her either running for president or replacing Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in 2028.

Over the course of seven months, we just kinda found these moments where I might be able to do some work, I could take the kids with me, do a road trip, and our motto is, to love America is to see America, said Duffy after the show's trailer played on-air.

Tennessee's Republican-dominated legislature passed redistricting maps on Thursday, eliminating the state's one Democratic, Black-majority congressional district as GOP lawmakers scramble to improve their fortunes ahead of the November midterms. The new map splits Shelby County, the home of Memphis, a majority-Black city that played a critical role in the civil rights movement, into three separate Republican-leaning districts. The majority-Black district being eliminated in the Memphis area has long been represented by Rep. Steve Cohen, the state's lone Democratic congressional representative.

Trump falsely claimed that the stock market had hit a new high on Thursday, while the Dow plunged over three hundred points.
