‘Should have been prepared’: GOP senators fight for unified message on Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Now that the Senate has fled Washington until after Labor Day, Republicans finally have a chance to sell President Donald Trump’s «big, beautiful bill» to their constituents, but some fear that Democrats already have an advantage in the messaging war.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said that Republicans could «absolutely» do better in selling the colossal bill to combat Democrats’ «lies.»
«Well, we should have been prepared right off the bat and talked about, ‘No, we’re not talking about reforming Medicaid designed for [women, children and the elderly]. We’re looking at how we can save and preserve it and repair the damage done by the Obamacare addition to it,’» he told Fox News Digital. «We should have been talking about that, but we didn’t.»

Since Trump signed the bill into law, and throughout the entire process to get it to his desk, Democrats have largely been unified in their attacks against the bill, rebranding it as Republicans’ «big, ugly betrayal,» and targeting cuts to Medicaid, food assistance and a litany of other policies.
«It’s a very unpopular bill, so if I were them, I would probably go out and start trying to spin,» Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital.
Messaging against the bill has become routine in Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s floor speeches, where he often targets the cuts to Medicaid touted by the GOP as reforms to a broken system.
«The more Americans learn about the Republicans’ bill, the more they are realizing that Donald Trump and Republicans sold them a raw deal,» the New York Democrat said in a floor speech last week. «The Republicans’ ‘big, ugly betrayal’ is one of the most devastating bills for Americans’ healthcare that we’ve ever seen.»

Polling of the bill’s favorability among Americans is also working against Republicans. A Fox News poll conducted in June after the House GOP passed the legislation found that 59% of respondents opposed the bill.
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., charged that «90% of the media is lying» about the bill, and countered that Republicans were actually increasing Medicaid spending faster than the rate of inflation «to the tune of $200 billion a year when it’s all said.»
«This is not the first message like this that we’ve struggled to get the truth through,» he told Fox News Digital.
«Republicans need to lean into it,» he continued. «We worked really hard, and we’re going to save and preserve Medicaid for those who need it the most. And we need to be sharing that.»
TAX CUTS, WORK REQUIREMENTS AND ASYLUM FEES: HERE’S WHAT’S INSIDE THE SENATE’S VERSION OF TRUMP’S BILL

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., contended that Republicans shouldn’t be shy about the work they put into the bill.
Hawley, shortly after the bill passed early last month, held an event in his home state pushing the bill. He, alongside former Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., lauded the bill’s inclusion of his Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, which renewed and expanded compensation funding for people exposed to nuclear waste.
When asked if Republicans had gotten off to a slow start on selling the bill, he said that too much time had been devoted to talking «about Medicaid, for my own taste.»
«It’s less of that,» he said. «Talk about the tax cuts in this bill for working people, you know. I mean, that’s what people want. I mean, I was asked when I went home. I was asked immediately by people, ‘When are those no taxes on tips? When does that start?’ So, I mean, people are tracking it, but they’re tracking what’s for them.»

And Sen. Tommy Tubberville, R-Ala., charged that Democrats had «zero credibility» when it came to bashing the GOP for cuts and reforms.
«We got a lot of time,» he told Fox News Digital. «There will be a lot of water underneath the bridge. You won’t hear about the ‘big, beautiful bill’ here in another year because there’s going to be a couple more big, beautiful bills.»

La dictadura de Ortega creó la Procuraduría General de Justicia para “castigar la corrupción”
La Asamblea Nacional (Parlamento) de Nicaragua aprobó este miércoles una reforma parcial a la Constitución para crear la Procuraduría General de Justicia con el fin de “combatir la corrupción”.
La iniciativa, propuesta por los dictadores Daniel Ortega y Rosario Murillo, fue aprobada de forma expedita por los 91 diputados que integran el Parlamento, controlado por los sandinistas y sus aliados.
“Con la consigna de ‘Todos contra la corrupción, la Copresidencia de la República ha orientado la creación de una Procuraduría General de Justicia que, en conjunto con las instituciones correspondientes, identifique, persiga, procese y penalice, castigando firmemente, sin ninguna consideración que pretenda disminuir el vicio evidente de los corruptos, de manera que todos estos actos sean implacablemente, y cotidianamente, perseguidos, identificados, procesados y penados”, indicó la dictadura en su exposición de motivos.
La Procuraduría General de Justicia, que ejercerá la representación legal y de defensa de los intereses supremos del Estado y del pueblo nicaragüense, estará integrada por todos los órganos de la actual Procuraduría General de la República, incorpora el Ministerio Público “y otros organismos que cumplan funciones similares para garantizar el resguardo del patrimonio nacional del Estado y el pueblo nicaragüenses”, según la norma.
Será la instancia encargada de resguardar el patrimonio público “y combatir con contundencia, todas las formas de despojo de las conquistas de la revolución; ejerciendo la función acusadora con rigurosidad y en representación de las víctimas del delito, incluyendo las que aquejan a toda la humanidad, como el lavado de activos, narcotráfico y el crimen organizado”.
Además, identificará, perseguirá y procesará a todo responsable de actos lesivos al patrimonio económico, natural, cultural, material, político y jurídico del pueblo nicaragüense, “no permitiendo de ninguna manera el encubrimiento de intereses ajenos a nuestro pueblo, para cometer o seguir cometiendo infames actos de robo y saqueo”.
En su exposición de motivos, la dictadura sandinista aseguró que ha instruido a las instituciones pertinentes “a desatar acciones contundentes para perseguir, procesar y castigar cualquier forma de corrupción que atente contra los intereses de las familias y el pueblo nicaragüense”.
La Procuraduría General de Justicia no permitirá, “de ninguna manera, disfrazar o encubrir intereses ajenos a nuestro pueblo para cometer o seguir cometiendo infames actos de robo y saqueo del erario y los patrimonios del pueblo nicaragüense”, sostuvo la Copresidencia.
“Todo acto que vulnere nuestras leyes de probidad y atente contra los intereses supremos de la patria y el pueblo, será sancionado con las máximas penas establecidas en nuestros Códigos”, añadió.
Esa reforma parcial constitucional que crea la Procuraduría General de Justicia tendrá que ser aprobada en segunda legislatura el próximo año para que entre en vigor.
Desde 2018, la dictadura sandinista ha desplegado un aparato represivo sistemático que incluye detenciones arbitrarias, desapariciones forzadas, censura a la prensa y persecución a defensores de derechos humanos e indígenas. Organizaciones como Amnistía Internacional y Human Rights Watch han documentado el uso de la fuerza letal contra manifestantes, la cancelación de más de 3.000 ONG, el cierre forzoso de universidades y la revocación masiva de nacionalidades. La reforma constitucional de 2025 consolidó esta represión al legalizar la confiscación de bienes, las deportaciones y el silenciamiento de cualquier voz disidente, mientras una red de vigilancia estatal identifica y neutraliza a opositores reales o percibidos.
Además, los pueblos indígenas enfrentan una violencia sistemática vinculada a la expansión minera y al avance de grupos armados en sus territorios, con más de 70 asesinatos reportados entre 2020 y 2024. Lejos de protegerlos, el Estado ha contribuido a su despojo mediante leyes represivas y omisión deliberada. La represión también ha alcanzado a periodistas, líderes religiosos y ciudadanos comunes, generando un exilio forzado de miles de nicaragüenses. Según expertos de la ONU, estas prácticas podrían constituir crímenes de lesa humanidad, enmarcadas en una estrategia de control total del poder político, social y cultural en el país.

ICE raid tipoffs from Dem lawmaker could mean charges, says DHS rep: ‘Looks like obstruction’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Democratic state lawmaker tipping off ICE operations in her community could be hit with obstruction-of-justice charges, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News Digital.
After Democratic Arizona state Senator Analise Ortiz admitted on social media to alerting her community about ICE movements, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin claimed in a statement to Fox News Digital that the lawmaker is choosing illegal criminals over American citizens.
«Arizona state Senator Analise Ortiz is siding with vicious cartels, human traffickers, and violent criminals over American citizens,» said McLaughlin.
«Notifying the public about ICE law enforcement operations endangers law enforcement and weakens American national security,» she went on.

In response to Fox News Digital’s question about whether Ortiz could face charges, McLaughlin answered, «This certainly looks like obstruction of justice.»
She pointed to DHS statistics that ICE officers are currently facing an 830 percent increase in assaults.
«The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line every day to arrest violent criminal illegal aliens to protect and defend the lives of American citizens,» said McLaughlin. «Make no mistake, sanctuary politicians like Arizona Senator Analise Ortiz are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE.»
This comes after popular conservative social media page «Libs of TikTok» blasted Ortiz for posting alerts on her account giving updates on ICE operations in the area. Libs of TikTok posted a screenshot, indicating it belonged to Ortiz, that warned in English and Spanish, «ICE is present.» The post also gave the location of the federal officials’ whereabouts.

Libs of TikTok wrote, «Arizona State Senator Analise Ortiz (D) is actively impeding and doxxing ICE by posting their live locations on instagram.» The account urged Border Czar Tom Homan, the DHS and ICE to file charges against Ortiz.
In response, Ortiz admitted to alerting her community about ICE activity, saying, «Yep. When ICE is around, I will alert my community to stay out of the area.»
Seemingly in response to the Libs of TikTok’s call for charges against her, Ortiz also wrote, «I’m not f*****g scared of you nor Trump’s masked goons.»
After the comment, Arizona Senate Warren Petersen, a Republican, issued a statement reprimanding Ortiz: «Public servants have a duty to uphold the law and respect those who enforce it, not undermine them.»

Petersen said he had referred the matter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona for investigation «as it appears she may be in violation of federal law.»

Ortiz has remained defiant, writing in an X post, «I will not be intimidated. I will alert our community to avoid the area when Trump’s masked thugs terrorize us all, regardless of citizenship. Trump doesn’t respect our laws nor our constitution. My duty is to keep people safe from his unconstitutional and authoritarian actions.»
