Senate Republicans have been mulling whether to again use a powerful yet divisive legislative process, and tackling the unfolding Minnesota fraud scandal could be at the top of the list. Congressional Republicans last year used the budget reconciliation process to ram through President Donald Trump’s crowning legislative achievement of his term so far, his ‘one, big beautiful bill.’ The GOP is considering taking another stab at the process, which would allow them to pass partisan...
The New Year is a time when many Americans make resolutions to ditch bad habits and improve their health. In that same spirit, the Trump administration is excited to announce the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030, marking the most significant reset of federal nutrition policy in our nation’s history.

Acquiring Greenland is a many decades-old conversation,’ the senator noted in a Wednesday post...

The Trump–Kennedy Center is pushing back on a recent media narrative that its annual Honors awards show suffered a ratings flop under President Donald Trump compared to years prior, arguing that the broadcast performed strongly despite industry-wide headwinds and a dramatically different scheduling landscape. ‘Comparing this year’s broadcast ratings to prior years is a classic apples-to-oranges comparison and evidence of far-left bias,’ Roma Daravi, Trump–Kennedy Center vice president of public relations, told Fox News Digital...
Senior figures from across the UK’s night-time economy have hit back at suggestions that forthcoming business rates relief will apply only to pubs, warning that such a narrow approach risks devastating the wider nightlife and cultural sector. Industry leaders say recent briefings implying pubs could be singled out for protection ignore the interconnected ecosystem that underpins Britain’s evening economy, including nightclubs, bars, casinos, theatres, live music venues and late-night cultural spaces, all of which are...
