Senators Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley, despite their differing political affiliations, announced plans Tuesday to introduce a bill aimed at breaking up "Big Medicine," according to CBS News. The legislation targets healthcare conglomerates, alleging they manipulate the system, inflate prescription drug costs, and stifle competition. This announcement comes as the House Committee on Ways and Means prepared for a hearing on foreign influence in American nonprofits, specifically focusing on potential threats from Beijing and beyond, as reported by Fox News.
The bipartisan effort by Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, seeks to address key issues heading into the midterm elections: healthcare and affordability, CBS News reported. The hearing, led by House Committee on Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith, focused on foreign influence in American nonprofits, with several NGOs and far-left funding networks under scrutiny, according to Fox News.
Meanwhile, a Senate hearing chaired by Hawley is set to expose billions in fraud in Minnesota, as well as foreign backing for anti-ICE agitators across the country, Fox News Digital reported. The hearing before the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Disaster Management will feature testimony from a Minnesota state senator and representatives of third-party watchdog groups. "Taxpayers [are] robbed blind," Hawley's office told Fox News Digital.
In other political developments, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced it was adding five seats to its list of Republican-held districts it is targeting to flip in the 2026 midterm elections, ABC News reported. The committee cited recent Democratic performances in special elections as evidence of a "sustained, dramatically positive political environment" for Democrats. The DCCC stated, "Democrats are on offense, and our map reflects the fact that everyday Americans are tired of Republicans broken promises."
In unrelated news, two snowmobilers died in separate accidents in western Wyoming in late January, officials said, according to Fox News. One incident involved a man and a woman who went off-trail and collided with a tree. The man died from his injuries, while the woman was rescued by helicopter.
