Senator Tim Kaine has all sorts of advice on the probable Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce prenup ... shop around for the best place to write it, but don't dwell on it 'cause it could sink your marriage!!!
We got the Senator from Virginia Tuesday in the Capitol, and asked about our story that it might be advantageous for the soon-to-be-newlyweds to ink a prenup in Rhode Island.
Jacob's inquiring mind wanted to know if Congress should pass a federal law making the rules of the road for prenups the same in every state. Kaine, who's a Democrat, professed a somewhat Reagan-esque view, saying the feds should only pass laws when there's an issue of national importance. He also thinks states can learn from each other by comparing.
But Kaine left Jacob with some sage advice for T&T ... don't spend too much time thinking about prenups -- bad luck!!!
Influencer Gabbie Gonzalez unsuccessfully tried to get a former MMA fighter to intimidate her baby daddy, Jack Avery ... before she decided to look for a hit man to take him out, according to the criminal complaint.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Gabbie and her pal Kai Cordrey, who is also charged over the alleged scheme to have a hit man kill Jack, went to Dustin Barca, a former professional fighter and boxing trainer. Dustin has a 4-0 record in his pro career.

The alleged plot to kill Jack Avery wasn't supposed to look like a murder at all ... at least according to cops, who say Gabbie Gonzalez talked about making it look like a deadly car crash.
That particular part of the alleged plot is interesting because, as it turns out, Gabbie's accused co-conspirator in the murder for hire plot is her father, Francisco Gonzalez ... who is a longtime personal injury lawyer. Police say Francisco actually bankrolled the alleged hit.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, investigators say a witness told them Gabbie and her friend Kai Cordrey discussed the alleged hit as "potentially going down in Los Angeles and being made to look like a car accident."

A source with direct knowledge tells us ... McKenzie is the former live-in nanny for Gabbie ... and she first alerted authorities to the alleged murder-for-hire plot back in 2021.
Senator Ted Cruz and Charlie got in a heated exchange ... over President Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund that might compensate January 6th insurrectionists at taxpayer expense.

Charlie pushed back, saying this wasn't about Biden in the past ... it was about Trump in the present -- giving money to January 6th rioters who were convicted of violence.
