But top allies of President Donald Trump were having none of it. Longtime Trump aide Jason Miller described the vote on whether to advance the procedural legislation as a simple choice between Trump and the Democrats. Trump’s top strategist on his 2024 campaign, Chris LaCivita, chimed in…

On a side note, isn’t it fascinating that Bernie Sanders and AOC have been on a ‘fight the oligarchy’ tour and CBS News just happened to decide to do a documentary about oligarchs? Probably a total coincidence. Still, you would think they’d at least mention someone like Soros, who has…

The Iranian…
On Wednesday’s “CNN News Central,” Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) stated that things like no tax on tips and other tax reductions in the reconciliation bill are “little flourishes” “that are designed to cover the horrible job that they’re doing.” Co-host John Berman asked, “So, Russ Vought from the White House said that there are a number of things in this bill that he believes are very popular. Some of those would include, I imagine, a reduction of taxes on tips, a reduction on taxes for seniors on Social Security, an increase of the Child Tax Credit. How do you feel…

The decision to ease some sanctions is a short-term transaction, not a sign of broader normalization By Andrey Kortunov, Ph.D. in History, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, RIAC memberHungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has announced that US President Donald Trump has lifted financial sanctions on Russia that had blocked Rosatom from continuing construction of the Paks Nuclear Power Plant 2 in Hungary.
