Sen. Kaine on his vote for funding deal

Tim Kaine is on MSNBC accusing Katy Tur of "overdramatizing" the way he and some other Democrats caved. "This is by far a minor-league issue within the Democratic Party," Kaine said.

Since you seem confused, let me clarify: The House Epstein resolution DOES NOT release the docs. If it passes it then goes to the Senate, where it is unlikely to pass as you’re not going to get 4 GOP votes. If it somehow does, it DOES NOT force DOJ to release the docs, all it does is ask them to. 1/
Speaker Johnson: What are you hiding?
You’re more interested in covering up what happened at the Epstein Mansion than protecting Americans’ health care.

UNM med school aims to double. Does New Mexico have enough residency slots to keep docs in state?
Since 2018, UNM has expanded its residency programs by 32%, adding 19 new programs to its catalogue. The university plans to continue the effort.
