Republicans were already struggling to defuse simmering voter frustrations over the cost of living ahead of the midterms. Then President Donald Trump rekindled his trade wars. Trump’s latest actions — especially his decision to impose 50 percent tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, inviting retaliatory duties from America’s No. 2 trading partner — has sparked new pushback from GOP lawmakers and candidates. His moves are set to reverberate especially hard in a handful of states crucial to the party’s hopes of keeping their Senate majority. That includes northern border states, such as Maine and Michigan, as well as…
Every few days during Senate recesses—including the current stretch that began in mid-August and runs into September, with more breaks scheduled through the fall—a single Republican senator often boards a plane, flies back to Washington, walks onto an almost empty Senate floor, bangs a gavel for a few seconds, and flies home again. The lights stay on.The chamber is technically “in session.”And across the internet, Trump’s base is boiling over. MAGA voters watch the same ugly loop: senators leave town for another long recess while the Save America Act sits untouched, then return just long enough to bang a gavel…

California’s criminals now run the state. This is not hyperbole to jab at California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom or Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass, but an observation of the absolute chaos that unfolded during a “street takeover” that happened over the weekend in that city. KTLA reported Monday on two separate break-ins that took place during two different takeovers less than 2 miles from each other. One happened around 11 p.m. at the Lorena Pharmacy. Footage began circulating on social media platform X showing the suspects at the doors, seemingly sawing through security bars to access it. KTLA said…
A Silicon Valley investor sneered at American citizens on Wednesday, prompting quick pushback from the chairman of President Trump’s Federal Trade Commission and the investor’s politically minded boss. “What elements of H1B immigrant culture do you not like? Is it the willingness to work long hours? Or perhaps the education focus of their children?” posted Ankit Gupta, who then used the term “flyover country.” Gupta had earlier described Vice President Vance as “woke left” for his indirect criticism of the visa programs that dispalce American graduates. Gupta is a U.S.-born general partner at Y Combinator, which is a leading investment firm…

The U.S. State Department officially removed Syria from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, and delisted al-Qaeda offshoot Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) group, on Monday, completing a process President Donald Trump announced in July. The change ends a 47-year tenure on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list for Syria that began under the dictatorship of Hafez Assad, the father of ousted dictator Bashar Assad. When Syria was placed on the list, in 1979, the United States explained the decision by noting the Assad dynasty’s links to jihadist terrorist organizations such as Hamas and…
President Donald Trump announced that in honor of country music star Dolly Parton, who died at 80 years old, he was ordering that the American flag be lowered around the country for one week.
