Bipartisan senators seek study on wildfire insurance
A pair of bipartisan senators introduced legislation this week that would seek information on how much growing wildfires are costing homeowners. Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.) first shared with The Hill a draft of the Wildfire Insurance Coverage Study Act. Their bill would require the U.S. Comptroller General to study the extent of growing U.S. wildfire risks and whether private companies have refused to issue new policies to homeowners because of those risks. Climate change is worsening droughts and leads to more severe wildfires. While this science has been politicized, dealing with wildfire damage can be an area of consensus. Still, it's not entirely clear if the bill will advance. 'I'm hearing from more and more New Mexicans who've seen their insurance premiums skyrocket, lost coverage entirely, or been priced out of protecting their homes. That is completely unacceptable,' Heinrich said in a written statement. 'We need a clearer picture of how worsening wildfires and climate risks are impacting insurance companies' decisions to raise insurance premiums.' 'One-third of America lives in wildfire-prone areas, and we must get our arms around this crisis, because if you can't get or afford homeowners' insurance, you can't finance your home, which means hardworking families can't achieve homeownership,' Sheehy said in a written statement.

Epstein birthday book included note from Bill Clinton: WSJ
Former President Clinton was among the famous and wealthy individuals who penned notes to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The Journal previously reported that President Trump wrote a 'bawdy' note for the leather-bound birthday album given to Epstein three years before the disgraced financier was first charged with sexually abusing girls in Florida in 2006 and more than a decade before Epstein's higher-profile sex trafficking arrest in 2019. Trump denied writing the letter and sued The Wall Street Journal over its report. The New York Times separately reported on Thursday that it had reviewed a 'contributor list' for the book that included Trump's name. According to the Journal's latest report on the birthday book's entries, Clinton, who left office in 2001, penned a handwritten note that read: 'It's reassuring isn't it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends.' A Clinton spokesperson declined to comment to the Journal but referred the outlet to a previous statement saying the former president did not know about Epstein's crimes and that they severed ties years before Epstein's death. The Hill reached out to a Clinton representative for comment on Friday but did not immediately hear back. Epstein died in a New York City prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, but his case has continued to draw intense interest about his associates. Trump's Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI announced earlier this month that an investigation concluded that Epstein kept no 'client list' and died by suicide, but the DOJ this week has conducted private interviews with Epstein's associate and the source of the birthday book, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving 20 years behind bars after she was convicted in Epstein's sex trafficking scheme. Meanwhile, the Epstein controversy has engulfed Washington, D.C., and effectively ground the House to a halt this week ahead of its August recess. A House Oversight panel on Wednesday approved several subpoenas related to the case, including one directing the DOJ to hand over materials related to the Epstein files and separately for Clinton and other prominent Democrats to testify before the House.

Jon Stewart Explains Why Trump Is Totally Not Suing Over This 1 Move
Jon Stewart on Thursday argued that President Donald Trump won't hit billionaire Elon Musk with a lawsuit after the former White House official used his social media platform to declare that the president was in the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files. The 'Daily Show' host, in the latest episode of his 'Weekly Show' podcast, said the two have a relationship similar to the U.S. and China, where they understand that 'mutually assured destruction' is at play. 'I think they know enough about each other,' Stewart said. 'But he's been quiet lately, don't you think?' replied producer Brittany Mehmedovic of Musk. 'No question, I think, but he's still got his lovely social media platform, which is MechaHitler-ing all over people's timelines so it's still a very positive — net positive for humanity,' Stewart replied. Weeks before the Trump administration faced backlash over its handling of the Epstein case, Musk used his public breakup with Trump to drop a 'really big bomb' on X, alleging that the president was named in files tied to the late convicted sex offender. 'That is the real reason they have not been made public,' he wrote in the since-deleted post from June. The post arrived weeks before The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump in May that his name was featured multiple times in the Epstein files. In recent weeks, Musk has addressed the Epstein fallout on X, calling it a 'cover up' and claiming there was 'only one reason' that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) shut down upcoming House votes to block a bipartisan effort to vote on the release of the Epstein files. 'I cannot for the life of me think why Trump wouldn't sue Elon for 'Trump is in the Epstein files,'' said Stewart before cracking a smile and adding that the president is 'so clearly all over' the files. Stewart then referred to Trump's threats to canceling government contracts with Musk's companies like SpaceX. ″[Then] they're like, 'Actually, we can't. There's no one else that can launch a satellite — we can't use NASA because we cut their funding to a point where they are a nonfunctioning organization, like we're gutting the very government that would give us options,'' he said.
