Sen. Thom Tillis, a two-term North Carolina Republican who was expected to contest one of 2026’s toughest Senate races, tried to walk a fine line between President Donald Trump and his purple-state electorate. It backfired spectacularly over the weekend, with Tillis announcing Sunday that he would not seek re-election less than a day after Trump publicly attacked him for voting “no” to advance his “big, beautiful bill.” “In Washington over the last few years, it’s become increasingly evident that leaders who are willing to embrace bipartisanship, compromise, and demonstrate independent thinking are becoming an endangered species,“ Tillis said in a…

Vice President JD Vance trolled the overwhelmingly leftist base on Bluesky and noted that the recently signed peace treaty between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Republic of Rwanda was “truly historic.” In a thread on Bluesky, Vance pointed out that the war between the DRC and the Republic of Rwanda “has killed more than any since World War 2.” Vance’s post came after Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the foreign ministers of the two countries sign “an agreement to end the decades-long fighting in the region” on Friday. “The peace treaty signing yesterday between the Democratic…

On Friday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press Now,” Rep. Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) said that the American strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities “degraded and destroyed much of the Iranian nuclear efforts and their capabilities.” And that focusing on that and the path forward is more important than particular adjectives like whether the program was obliterated or delayed. Host Kristen Welker asked, “Based on the briefing that you got, Congressman, do you believe that the U.S. strikes obliterated…that’s President Trump’s word, obliterated Iran’s nuclear program, or do you think it simply delayed it?” Panetta responded, “I think we need to stop…

Senate clerks have completed a nearly 16-hour reading of the GOP’s 940-page megabill. Clerks began reading the text aloud at 11:08 p.m. Saturday and finished Sunday at 3:03 p.m. By refusing to waive chamber rules allowing for reading, Senate Democrats hoped to create an opportunity to highlight some of the most unpopular issues in the legislation. Now, under Senate rules, there will be 20 hours of the debate evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are expected to use their full 10 hours, while Republicans are expected to take only a couple hours. That would mean the vote-a-rama — a…

Why America’s ‘Blessed Israel’ obsession risks the church, the world – and the truth During a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, US Senator Ted Cruz displayed not only alarming geopolitical ignorance but also a brazen willingness to distort Scripture in defense of his unwavering support for Israel. The verse he quoted – Genesis 12:3 – was shamelessly truncated, a common tactic used to lend divine legitimacy to Zionist exceptionalism in End Times prophecy. This verse has become the theological bedrock of a militant worldview known as Christian Zionism.Even Jewish critics of Israeli state policy express dismay at the historical illiteracy and…

A rendering of the Winter garden Theater in New York in the 1950s at the Bode Spring 2026 … More presentationPhoto by Roxanne Robinson While it can be criticized as just a marketing concept, brand storytelling has emerged as a powerful tool to connect consumers to brands to build loyalty that, in turn, drives sales. It takes many forms, whether in a seasonal campaign or via social media. Mainly, it originates with a seasonal presentation, whether on a runway or a static showing on mannequins.
