The Senate voted in favor of a war powers resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s military authority over Iran which directs him to pull United States military troops out of the conflict with Iran. In a 50-48 vote on Tuesday, the Senate adopted the war powers resolution, which instructs Trump to “remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” CBS News reported. The resolution was described as being “concurrent,” which means Trump’s signature is not needed, according to the outlet. Republican Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Bill Cassidy (R-LA), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Rand Paul (R-KY)…
An Iowa television anchor who announced Friday that he is leaving the news industry used his final broadcast to criticize what he described as sanitized journalism. Dustin Nolan, who has spent years waking up early with viewers as the morning anchor for Davenport’s KWQC-TV, announced he is leaving the news industry for good, and he used his parting moments to take a serious swing at the state of modern journalism. In a passionate goodbye, where he became emotional at times, Nolan thanked the community for letting him into their living rooms every morning. “I have chosen to step away from the…
Former Rep. Ben McAdams won his primary Tuesday, paving the way for his return to Congress. McAdams, a moderate, staved off a roster of progressive challengers in Utah’s newly redrawn 1st District, a rare deep-blue Salt Lake City district in a deep-red state that came as a result of a messy, decadelong redistricting saga. McAdams will enter November as the heavy favorite in a district former Vice President Kamala Harris won by nearly 24 points in 2024.McAdams won a GOP-leaning seat in the 2018 Democratic wave and governed as a centrist, Blue Dog Democrat who pushed for a balanced budget…
Behind Poland and Ukraine’s symbolic feud lies a brutal fight over EU cash, borders, and regional dominance. At the heart of Polish historical literature, brilliantly adapted for the screen by film director Andrzej Wajda, is a timeless, almost archetypal Slavic narrative. Take Adam Mickiewicz’s poem, ‘Pan Tadeusz’, or Aleksander Fredro’s comedy, ‘The Revenge’. In both cases, we see two noble clans trapped in a shared space – whether within a city or castle walls – selflessly and relentlessly destroying each other over long-held historical grievances, ambitions, and boundary disputes, while the entire ‘security architecture’ around them crumbles.The stories have different…
A broad majority of Americans support efforts to quickly end the war with Iran through a negotiated agreement, according to a new Economist/YouGov survey that found widespread support for several key provisions included in President Donald Trump’s proposed peace deal. Trump signed a proposed peace framework during a dinner at the Palace of Versailles that seeks to bring an end to hostilities between the United States and Iran. The Memorandum of Understanding establishes a roadmap for negotiating a broader agreement within 60 days. The proposal calls for both nations to halt military action immediately, refrain from future attacks against one…
President Donald Trump’s migration curbs are reducing the rents paid by Americans for their housing, says the White House. “Rents are falling sharply across the country for the first time in years as the record surge in illegal immigration has been reversed,” said a June 22 statement, which notes that Trump has stopped the rapid increases caused by President Joe Biden’s migration and has also pushed rents down by 4.4 percent. It continued: Rents in major metro areas have dropped significantly from their Biden-era peaks. In many cities, these declines mean hundreds of dollars back into family budgets every month — relief that…
A federal judge blocked Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoenas of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and other Democrats in the state, which the DOJ had issued to investigate the link between Somali corruption and local politics. U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz issued a ruling on June 17 that was unsealed on Monday, according to Politico. In his ruling, Schiltz explained that “initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents” was an “unlawful and unethical use” of the grand-jury process. “Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly…
ALBANY, New York — President Donald Trump’s preferred candidate to succeed Rep. Elise Stefanik cruised to victory in his Republican primary Tuesday evening. Anthony Constantino, the CEO of custom sticker company Sticker Mule, defeated Assemblymember Robert Smullen, a retired Marine colonel, for the nomination in a deep red upstate New York House district. Trump, along with MAGA figures Roger Stone and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, backed Constantino’s bid, casting aside Smullen’s endorsement from the New York Republican Committee. Constantino’s victory underscores the power of Trump’s endorsement in a district he has won during each of his three…
Kenyan Health Minister Aden Duale said on Tuesday he has halted construction of a U.S.-backed Ebola treatment center at the Laikipia Air Base. Kenya’s High Court held Duale in contempt on Monday for disobeying its orders in May and early June to stop construction on the facility. “The Court cannot permit its orders to be rendered hollow,” Kenyan High Court Justice Patricia Nyaundi Mande said on Monday as she ordered Duale to appear the following day. Duale duly stood before the court on Tuesday and said he ordered an immediate halt to construction, although he still defended the Ebola center…
The Secret Truth About Kevin Warsh’s Fed The dirtiest little secret inside the gilded menagerie of monetary policy is that Kevin Warsh’s supposedly radical new approach to central bank communications is far more conventional and not as new as it seems. The first statement issued by the Federal Open Market Committee under Warsh’s chairmanship was far terser than those typically put out by the committee under his predecessors, from Ben Bernanke through Janet Yellen to Jerome Powell. His press conference was an entertaining spectacle of Fed reporters repeatedly trying to extract forward guidance from a chairman who had just announced…
