The Daily Countable: Take Action Today!

THURSDAY, MAY 25

Well, hello, CountaCompatriots!

Nothing is as crazy in Washington today as the World Wrestling Entertainment-type news out of Montana. Are you next, Georgia? George Will says an Ossoff win in the 6th District Thursday will bring a "World of Pain" for the President. But will he have Handel in a headlock by the end of the day? That’s the question.

Perhaps more importantly, clashes between Republicans and the news media seem to be heating up over the last few weeks. Arrests,manhandling, body slams… Anybody else wake up this morning thinking of Revenge of the Nerds for the first time in 33 years?

The President: Brussels, Belgium and Taormina, Italy

• President Trump begins the days in Brussels. He met with French President Emanuel Macron early this morning, and will move on to NATO headquarters for meetings and the unveiling of a Berlin Wall memorial. Watch the memorial unveiling here.

• This evening the president will fly to Taormina, Italy for a meeting of the G7.

The House of Representatives: IN SESSION

• Voting on a bill to prevent abuse at U.S. Olympic athletic organizations.

• Voting on a bill to eliminate the intent requirement for child pornography crimes.

The Senate: IN SESSION

• Voting on the nomination of Amul Thapar to be a judge on the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

What to Watch

• Watch here at 10:00 AM EDT as Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin testifies in front of the Senate Finance Committee about the FY 2018 Budget and Tax Reform.

• And at 10:30 AM EDT watch the opening of the Senate. If no one brings up the WWE I will be really disappointed.

Be strong, CountaFriends! And remember to keep your hands to yourself.
