Watch live: Jeffries, Golden give remarks on protecting federal worker's rights
The press conference comes as mass layoffs spurred by analysis from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continue as part of the President Trump's vow to shrink the federal workforce. It also follows bipartisan legislation introduced earlier this year by Golden and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.) that would nullify an executive order from the president that targeted collective bargaining for federal employees. A federal judge just last month ruled against the order.
The Senate on Wednesday also passed a $9 billion rescissions package that solidifies some DOGE cuts to foreign aid programs and public media — and it now heads back to the House. Democrats have pushed back on the move by warning it could threaten spending negotiations ahead of a government shutdown deadline later this year.
The event is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. EDT.

The token carved out a volatile $0.2267–$0.2560 range, bouncing off the $0.2267 session floor after heavy selling pressure and surging to tag $0.2561 in the final stretch.

What to Know DOGE bounces 8% in volatile trading, closing at $0.2533 after dipping as low as $0.2267 Volume spikes to 1.66 billion in final hour as bulls reclaim control and retake $0.25 resistance Bit Origin commits $500 million to DOGE treasury strategy; ETF speculation adds fuel with 80% approval odds by Sept. News Background Bit Origin announced a $500 million institutional allocation plan to build DOGE-denominated treasury reserves, marking the largest known corporate move into the meme coin to date. The announcement coincided with a broader resurgence in the memecoin market, which has gained $17 billion this month. Meanwhile, traders are pricing in an 80% chance of a DOGE ETF approval by September, according to prediction platform Polymarket. These developments come as DOGE breaks out from a 10-month consolidation phase. Price Action Summary The 24-hour session opened at $0.2437, before sellers dragged DOGE to $0.2267 around 20:00. Volume surged to 1.102 billion—well above the 873.9 million average—as whales defended key support levels.

Technical Analysis Trading range: $0.2267–$0.2561 (12.94% intraday spread) Support: Established at $0.2267 on 1.1 billion volume surge during drawdown Resistance: Clean break of $0.2500; local top at $0.2561 before final pullback Volume Trends: Final-hour surge to 1.66 billion validates strength of recovery Short-term Momentum: Strong bounce suggests $0.2500 may flip to support Next Resistance: Analysts eye $0.2670 and $0.2825 zones if rally holds What Traders Are Watching DOGE's ability to hold above $0.25 will be key for any continuation higher. Traders are monitoring ETF headlines and broader memecoin sentiment, while breakout targets of $0.36 to $1.00 are now in play if institutional flows continue. The current volume profile supports short-term consolidation before a possible next leg up.

63 percent disapprove of Trump administration handling of Epstein files: Poll
More than 6 in 10 voters in a new poll (63 percent) disapprove of how the Trump administration handled its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Just 17 percent of voters surveyed in the Quinnipiac University national poll released Wednesday said they were satisfied with the Department of Justice's (DOJ) conclusions that Epstein kept no client list and died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019. Twenty percent had no opinion. Republicans, who have long fueled conspiracies about Epstein's associates and his death, were split — the poll found 40 percent approved of how the Trump administration carried out the probe, 36 percent disapproved and 24 percent had no opinion. Meanwhile, Democrats and independents overwhelmingly said they disapproved, at 83 percent and 71 percent, respectively. 'Epstein has been dead and gone for years but his tawdry legacy looms large in a country wanting to know more about who he knew and whether secrets have been buried with him,' Quinnipiac polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a statement. President Trump on Wednesday blasted supporters who have pushed for more information about Epstein's case after the FBI and DOJ revealed that their probe had ended with no new conclusions. 'Some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net, and so they try and do the Democrats' work,' Trump told reporters Wednesday. 'I call it the Epstein hoax. Takes a lot of time and effort. 'Instead of talking about the great achievements we've had … they're wasting their time with a guy who obviously had some very serious problems, who died three, four years ago,' he added. Additionally, 62 percent of voters surveyed in the new Quinnipiac poll said they had been 'somewhat' or 'closely' following news about the Epstein case. Quinnipiac surveyed 1,290 registered voters across the country July 10-14. The poll has a 2.7-point margin of error. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
