But she understood something we don’t: No majority is permanent." The congresswoman wrote that unlike Republicans, when Democrats hold the majority, "they ram through the most progressive policies they can," and "deliver for the coalition that elected them while they are in power." Continuing her criticism of Congress' dysfunction, Mace maintained that "the current House is restrictive and ineffective," producing "control with barely any results." She argued that "Republican...

President Trump will head to Pennsylvania on Tuesday for his first rally in five months amid signs of growing anger among his supporters at a failure to bring down the cost of living. Trump has touted the falling cost of petrol and eggs as evidence that his economic strategy is working and blames Democrats for talking about the “hoax” and “con job” of an affordability crisis. Inflation remains at 3 per cent, however, the same as when he took office, and some staples such as beef and coffee are up much more than that. Polling for Politico suggests that 37...

Michael Dell, founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, and his wife Susan are donating $6.25 billion to fund investment accounts for 25 million American children. "It's designed to help families feel supported from the start and encourage them to keep saving and investing as their children grow," Michael said. "We know that when children have accounts like this, they're much more likely to graduate from high school, from college, buy a home, start a business and less likely to be incarcerated." Their donation will be coordinated with a new federal government program that allows parents to open tax-advantaged investment accounts...

Hispanic voters — crucial to Trump’s 2024 victory — are abandoning him in significant numbers. Sure, the Hispanic flight from the Trump camp is slower among Cuban Americans and Venezuelan Americans in Florida, but the cracks are already visible. In New Jersey, Trump won 46% of the Latino vote in 2024. But this time, Trump-backed Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli got only 31% of the Hispanic vote in the Nov. 4 election, CNN exit polls show. The Democratic winner, Mikie Sherrill, won by a landslide, thanks in part to the Latino vote. In heavily Hispanic Passaic County, where Trump won...

Free days at the U.S. National Parks have been changed to no longer include Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth, just weeks after the Trump administration announced it would be raising fees for visitors who are not American citizens or permanent residents. June 14, which is both Flag Day and President Trump's birthday, will be included, according to a list shared by the NPS. Previously, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth were deemed fee-free days by the Biden administration. Most of the free days are patriotic in nature, including Presidents' Day (February 16), Memorial Day (May 25), Independence...

In a test, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) created 20 fake applications for Obamacare subsidies. Despite the absence of documentation to verify that the Social Security numbers (SSN), citizenship, and reported incomes were valid, 18 of the applications were approved for a total of $10,000 per month subsidies. Other avenues for fraud included subsidies for dead people and multiple subsidies to identical SSNs--one of which was linked to 125 insurance policies and an aggregate coverage of 26,000 days in one year. These subsidies were paid to insurance companies on behalf of the fictitious and deceased individuals--none of whom ever filed...
