McConnell to Step Down , as Senate Republican Leader.
The Senate's longest-serving leader
ever, Mitch McConnell, will step
down in November, AP reports.
The 82-year-old made the
announcement on Feb.
28.
One of life’s most underappreciated talents
is to know when it’s time to
move on to life’s next chapter, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
So I stand before you today ... to
say that this will be my last term
as Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
While McConnell will no longer serve as the Senate's Republican leader, he will complete his term,
"albeit from a different seat in the chamber," he said.
That term ends in January 2027.
President Biden, 81, commented
on the development.
I’ve trusted him and we have
a great relationship.
We fight like
hell.
But he has never, never,
never misrepresented anything, President Joe Biden, via statement.
According to McConnell's aides, the
announcement was not related to health issues.
As I have been thinking about when I would
deliver some news to the Senate, I always
imagined a moment when I had total clarity
and peace about the sunset of my work, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
A moment when I am certain I have
helped preserve the ideals I so
strongly believe.
In a major political victory for Donald Trump, the U.S. Senate has rejected a resolution aimed at overturning his reciprocal tariffs, solidifying his economic stance even as the American economy shows signs of contraction. The resolution—introduced by Democrat Ron Wyden and backed by some Republicans-was narrowly defeated in a 49-49 vote. Vice President J.D. Vance broke the tie, blocking further Senate efforts to challenge Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs.The vote came just hours after official data showed the U.S. economy shrinking for the first time in three years. Critics warn the tariffs could fuel inflation and worsen the economic outlook, but Trump maintains they are vital to counter global trade imbalances.

U.S. Congressman Al Green has vowed to launch impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump within 30 days, calling the former president a “Goliath” who has amassed dangerous levels of power. Speaking at the “Hands Off!” protest rally in Washington, Green likened himself to David and accused Trump of illegally dominating Congress, the military, and the justice system. The protest also condemned Trump and Elon Musk for their alleged corruption and control over federal policy. Green’s move marks a third push to impeach Trump, despite Republican dominance in both the House and Senate.

In a dramatic late-night session, Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint that sets the stage for extending Donald Trump’s tax cuts — and they did it without a single Democratic vote. By bypassing the filibuster through budget reconciliation, the GOP now has a clear path to push through Trump’s economic, military, and border priorities.
With $5 trillion in potential spending cuts and a looming debt ceiling crisis, this vote marks the beginning of a high-stakes budget war on Capitol Hill. Will this reshape America’s economic future — or ignite political chaos?

In a fiery press conference, Senate Democrats launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs and the Republican-backed budget plan, calling it a "pincer of pain" that’s squeezing American families from both sides. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, along with Senators Ron Wyden and Catherine Cortez Masto, warned of rising inflation, market instability, and massive hits to critical services like healthcare, food assistance, and housing.

Ukraine is set to receive more U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems as deadly Russian strikes intensify. A refurbished system from Israel is being rerouted, with Germany or Greece possibly sending another. While Trump pushes for peace, Zelensky’s plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Biden’s era nearing exhaustion, the incoming Patriots are vital. The recent minerals deal between Ukraine and the U.S. could also open the door for further arms support as Kyiv braces for another wave of Russian aggression.

In a light-hearted moment during his recent speech, President Trump was caught off guard when he noticed the audience standing in a prolonged ovation. After a 15-minute delay, Trump humorously asked, "Why are you all standing?" before taking full advantage of the moment to roast his political rival, President Biden.

Donald Trump has stunned America by ordering the reopening and expansion of the infamous Alcatraz prison. The former president says the facility will house the country’s most “vicious and violent” offenders. Once home to criminals like Al Capone, Alcatraz shut down in 1963 and is now a popular tourist attraction. Critics, including top Democrats, have slammed the move as theatrical and legally dubious. Trump insists it’s a powerful symbol of law and order. But is this about justice, or just politics? Here's what we know so far.

Karoline Leavitt, Press Secretary for President Trump, pushed back during a press briefing on claims made by MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend. Sanders warned that “people of color” could be next following the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a 29-year-old illegal immigrant sent to El Salvador’s megaprison, CECOT. While the administration first called it an error, officials now say Garcia may be tied to MS-13, a claim his lawyers deny. As Democrats and media voices raise alarm, the Trump team accuses them of spreading fear for political gain.

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from command at Fort McCoy after the base failed to display official portraits of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The glaring omission sparked backlash when empty frames were spotted on the command wall. Defense officials launched an immediate investigation, and the Department of Defense later updated the wall, saying “we fixed it.” Secretary Hegseth confirmed the suspension on X. The military called it an “unusual oversight,” but refused to share further details about the decision.
