<p>The rally in Suffern, New York on the evening of May 22, 2026 was billed as an economics event. The banner said “Fighting For American Workers.” The stated purpose was to stump for a vulnerable House Republican ahead of November’s midterms and tout the administration’s record on tax cuts and cost-of-living relief. What it became,…</p>

<p>Cuba’s energy situation is, by almost any metric, one of the worst crises the country has faced in decades. Yet right at the center of that same disaster, something unexpected is happening: the island is moving faster than almost any country on earth toward a solar-powered future. That those two facts are simultaneously true is…</p>
<p>Margo Martin is an American spokesperson and political advisor who has served as Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor since 2025. Most people outside the MAGA world had never heard of her. And then, in 2023, a Fox News anchor told his viewers he was about to show them footage of Melania Trump…</p>
<p>When a former Secretary of Defense goes on national television and says he told the Israeli Prime Minister he was “dead wrong,” not privately, not in a memo, but on camera, it’s the kind of moment that cuts through the political noise. Not because it’s partisan. Robert Gates served Republican and Democratic presidents. The warning…</p>
<p>While many people across the U.S. lost their jobs over social media comments about Charlie Kirk’s death, Larry Bushart’s case stood out as something rarer and harder to shake: a criminal prosecution. A retired police officer, a shared meme, a county in Tennessee still raw from grief, and a chain of events that ended with…</p>
<p>The word “FOREVER” sitting in a federal legal document is unusual enough on its own. Seeing it in a one-page addendum that permanently blocks the IRS from examining a sitting president’s tax history is something else entirely. The document was added to the Justice Department’s website on a Tuesday, hours after the acting attorney general…</p>
<p>It started, as so many things do with this president, with a picture. Not a press photo, not a campaign headshot, but a digitally generated image posted to Truth Social on a Sunday afternoon: Donald Trump striding across what appears to be a desert military base flanked by stern-faced Secret Service agents, while beside him…</p>
<p>When Trump’s plane touched down in Beijing last week, the Chinese internet was ready for him. While state television rolled out the ceremonial welcome, something else entirely was trending on Weibo, China’s dominant social platform: a nickname. Not a flattering one. Not a neutral one. A nickname that captured, in two words, exactly what a…</p>
<p>The South Lawn of the White House is one of the most photographed patches of grass in the world. State arrivals, Easter egg rolls, summer barbecues, the familiar sight of a president walking toward a waiting helicopter. It has been, for more than two centuries, a living symbol of the American presidency. Now it may…</p>
<p>America is a place people love fiercely, argue about constantly, and sometimes quietly fantasize about leaving. The national mythology says this is the greatest country on earth – and plenty of people believe it. But a growing number of Americans, and most of the rest of the world watching from a distance, have a list…</p>
<p>Most people, when they think about crossing a border illegally, imagine a worst-case scenario somewhere in the range of “detained for a few hours” or “sent home on a government’s dime.” For most of the world, that mental picture is roughly accurate. A civil fine. A deportation order. An awkward ride back across the line….</p>
<p>Most people could name a handful of things the U.S. president can do without breaking a sweat. Sign bills into law. Command the military. Pardon federal criminals. Grant or withhold things by executive order with a stroke of a pen. The office radiates authority in a way that makes it easy to assume the person…</p>
