Doing the Math in DC: Senators Thom Tillis & Elizabeth Warren 6/3/26

In the Senate Banking Committee room, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) weigh in on Todd Blanche as acting Attorney General and Bill Pulte’s new appointment as acting Director of National Intelligence, and the concept of taxes on AI. Senator Warren does the math on wealth taxes, and Senator Tillis underscores his position with the President. Gearing up for retirement, Sen. Tillis is saying the quiet part out loud–directly to his own party. Plus, Cigna has dropped coverage of GLP-1s for its own employees, CBS has fired veteran correspondent Scott Pelley after a heated meeting about the direction of the network under Bari Weiss, and President Trump has signed an executive order on AI.
