As the 2026 Senate elections approach, both Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for a high-stakes battle.
With the GOP holding a narrow 53–47 majority, control of just five key seats could determine how much power Donald Trump holds in a possible second term.
Democrats are strategizing to flip seats across the South and Midwest, while Trump faces internal GOP rifts and divisive primaries.
The outcome could define everything from legislation to Supreme Court picks.
The fight for Congress is already underway—and it’s anything but certain.
President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage.
Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions.

Brazil's political crisis deepens as lawmakers in Congress stage a dramatic protest against the Supreme Court's decision to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest for violating a social media ban. Members from six major right-wing parties—including PL, PP, PSD, Novo, and Republicans—taped their mouths shut and threatened to occupy the plenary halls of both the House and Senate. Flávio Bolsonaro denounced the judiciary’s actions as a targeted assault on his family, while senior MPs demanded total amnesty and even impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. With threats of “war” from Bolsonaro’s allies and growing public anger, Brazil faces a possible constitutional showdown.

Senator Lindsey Graham reveals that a sweeping new Senate sanctions bill is on the brink of passage, offering President Trump a “sledgehammer” to punish not only Russia but also its key global allies like China, India, and Brazil. The legislation empowers Trump to levy up to 500% in tariffs on any nation that continues trading with Moscow — a dramatic escalation in US policy that could reshape global trade dynamics.
Graham predicts “maximum flexibility” for presidential enforcement and signals an imminent surge in military aid to Ukraine, funded by frozen Russian assets. While Moscow dismisses the move as futile and claims it merely fuels Russia’s independence, the US plans to ratchet up pressure if diplomatic efforts falter. As this bold strategy takes shape, the world braces for a seismic shift in economic warfare.

Abrego Garcia, branded by ICE as an alleged MS-13 gangster, is back in the spotlight after dramatic arrest footage shows him in cuffs. He was set for a second deportation, but a Baltimore judge blocked the move—leaving Trump’s administration furious. Now, Trump is pushing for a shocking plan: deporting him to Uganda, a country Garcia has no ties to. This explosive case has become a flashpoint in America’s deportation wars, raising urgent questions about justice, politics, and human rights.

The White House has released footage showing dozens of undocumented migrants being deported, sparking a fresh storm in America’s long-running immigration debate. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said such flights occur several times each week, claiming they make the country safer. But controversy deepened after a senior U.S. senator suggested America should “welcome and embrace all immigrants,” adding that the population is “not reproducing on its own.” Critics erupted, accusing him of undermining American families and pushing an agenda that fuels division. President Donald Trump has already seized on the debate, framing immigration as a fight that pits Americans against each other. With deportations on display, fiery rhetoric from lawmakers, and Trump amplifying the battle lines, immigration has once again become a defining fault line in U.S. politics, raising questions of identity, security, and the future of the American dream.

Former President Donald Trump expressed interest in meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this year, during talks with South Korea’s President Lee Jae Myung at the White House. Trump praised his past relationship with Kim, recalling their historic 2019 meeting at Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone. While Trump signaled readiness for renewed diplomacy, North Korea has so far ignored his outreach, continuing to criticize U.S.-South Korea joint military drills. Analysts say Trump’s remarks could mark an attempt to revive stalled talks with Pyongyang.

President Trump warned of steep 200% tariffs on China if rare-earth magnet exports were curbed, raising fresh concerns over the fragile U.S.-China trade truce. Speaking alongside South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Trump cited airplane parts as leverage, noting China’s reliance on Boeing jets. Rare-earth magnets are crucial for U.S. industries like automotive, electronics, and clean energy, with China controlling nearly 90% of global supply. Analysts caution Trump’s remarks may be more bluff than policy, but tensions over critical minerals remain a flashpoint in trade talks.

The feud between Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom is intensifying as both exchange sharp attacks. Trump labeled Newsom “the man destroying California” and mocked him as “Newscum,” claiming he trails in polls. However, a new Echelon Insights survey shows Newsom surging to 13% support among Democratic voters for 2028, up from 4% in April, second only to Kamala Harris. Newsom’s aggressive strategy—directly mocking Trump on social media—has boosted his national profile, fueling speculation about his presidential ambitions.

Donald Trump sparked global outrage after praising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “war hero,” despite the ICC issuing an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza. In an interview, Trump dismissed international accountability, criticizing the court for targeting Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. Israel is also facing a genocide case at the ICJ, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported dead. Trump defended his role in freeing Israeli hostages, boasted of U.S. airstrikes on Iran, and attacked Democrats in Washington.

Donald Trump erupted in a fiery tirade at the White House, blasting Democrats as “frauds” and accusing them of loving “crime” while pledging to end mail-in voting once and for all. The outburst came just moments before his highly anticipated meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, adding an unexpected political twist to a summit already overshadowed by Russia’s escalating war in Ukraine. Trump used the platform to hammer his signature grievances—election integrity, voter fraud, and Democratic corruption—while Zelensky stood by, watching the former president’s domestic battles collide with international diplomacy. The press room buzzed as Trump declared, “We will stop mail-in voting,” promising sweeping changes if he secures another term. His remarks set the stage for a meeting that was supposed to focus on Ukraine’s survival but instead turned into a showcase of Trump’s trademark combativeness. The clash of politics and war made for an extraordinary spectacle.

Texas Republicans have redrawn congressional maps, aiming to add up to five new GOP seats and strengthen Trump’s slim House majority ahead of the 2026 midterms. This mid-decade redistricting—highly unusual outside the census cycle—turns Texas’ 38 seats into a national battleground. Democrats in California and other states are proposing counter maps, sparking lawsuits over racial gerrymandering. With a federal hearing set for August 2025, critics warn the move erodes trust in democracy, giving Trump a stronger legislative shield but no guarantee of long-term dominance.

Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force.
