Thom Tillis (R-NC) said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche had to get rid of the anti-weaponization fund before he would vote for him as Attorney General.

Sens. Susan Collins and Patty Murray have long prided themselves on working together to advance government funding bills. That collegiality is now showing signs of decay. The Maine Republican and Washington Democrat have been openly feuding about the path forward on spending measures this summer. It comes after their successful collaboration on bipartisan legislation during Murray’s two-year reign as chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which continued when Collins took the gavel last year. Democrats attribute the clash to Collins’ pursuit of President Donald Trump’s demands for a record military budget that eclipses domestic spending, as she fights to retain…

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH) said the  Trump administration’s plan to deport Haitians was not in the United States’ interests. DeWine said, “It is not in the United States’ interest, certainly not in Ohio’s interest, to have people who are working every single day, who are supporting a family, who are buying houses, fixing up old houses, starting businesses, and then put deep roots in this country and really are contributing and yank them out. I mean, look at what the mayor of Springfield says — the mayor says that is a huge, huge mistake.…

A Japanese World Cup fan visiting the United States struck a chord with Americans by appreciating something many citizens likely take for granted — complimentary baskets of chips and salsa served at Mexican restaurants in the U.S. “USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed…

It outlived the creator of the concept by…

President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele on Sunday registered his pre-candidacy for the 2027 presidential elections — seeking to obtain a third consecutive term after lawmakers from his New Ideas (NI) party eliminated term limits last year. “We’re ready,” Xavier Zablah Bukele, President Bukele’s cousin and head of the NI party wrote on social media.
