The Republican-led House on Thursday rejected a measure aimed at blocking President Donald Trump from carrying out further military strikes on Iran without congressional approval, delivering a victory for the White House even as lawmakers voice deep unease about the widening conflict. The War Powers Resolution, introduced by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie failed in a 212-219 vote after Republican leaders rallied enough support to defeat it, allowing the Administration to continue its military campaign against Iran for now without seeking new authorization from Congress...

I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’"

President Donald Trump on Thursday announced he was ousting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and that GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma would replace her. Mullin, a first-term senator who has served in that role since 2023, is a former mixed-martial artist and business owner who is a strong supporter of Trump’s hardline immigration policy. An enrolled member of Cherokee Nation, Mullin is the first tribal citizen to serve in the US Senate in nearly two decades. He will inherit an agency that is an integral cornerstone to Trump’s domestic policy agenda – the most well-funded federal law enforcement agency in the country and one which has come under intense scrutiny during the first year of Trump’s second term for how it has conducted itself...

Outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem will serve as “Special Envoy” to The Shield of the Americas, a new initiative launched by President Donald Trump to stop mass migration to the U.S. and thwart drug cartels, the president announced Thursday. The Shield of the Americas is Trump’s newly established summit that will feature allied leaders of Latin American countries, such as President Javier Milei of Argentina and President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador, to discuss and commit to stopping illegal immigration and drug cartels. Noem’s new position comes after the president ousted her from her role leading the department on its aggressive anti-immigration operation, which resulted in 675,000 deportations and led to the deaths of three U.S. citizens...

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) suggested Thursday that he would be open to dropping out of the hotly contested Texas Senate primary against Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) if Senate Republicans met several conditions. Paxton said on Thursday he would consider exiting the race if Senate leadership eliminated the filibuster — the 60-vote threshold needed to clear most legislation in the upper chamber — and passed a bill that would require voters to show proof of citizenship to register to vote...
#6 Carville Doubles Down on Urging Ilhan Omar to Leave the Democratic Party After She Blasted White Males - Alexander Hall for Fox News, HS Teo, Patrick white, Jason Cohen, News Wave, VivaLanka.com, and Apul Mah Dic-aoud on X
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville condemned Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for attacking White males during a Wednesday episode of SiriusXM’s "Straight Shooter with Stephen A." Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith asked James Carville about a recently resurfaced clip from May 2025 when the strategist had challenged Omar to leave the Democratic Party and start her own. Smith asked him to explain what caused this expression of deep frustration. Carville replied that Omar has some admirable qualities and is liked by many, "but she started attacking White males, and I'm gonna say, 'Wait a minute, let's stop. Alright.' In 2024, 72% of the people that voted were White. All right? That's just a fact. Of that, 72, probably 48% or 48 and a half, were male."

The three files come as Democrats are investigating whether the department purposefully withheld materials that included sexual assault allegations against Trump...

Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, announced Thursday night that he will drop his bid for re-election but will serve out the rest of his term in Congress following a tumultuous set of weeks for the congressman, who admitted having had an affair with an aide who later died by suicide.

Back in the day, copper didn’t need a glossy ad campaign or some TV doctor promoting its many healing benefits. For thousands of years, it just did the job—straightforward and with no frills. Folks figured out early that tossing water into copper pots kept the gut-rot at bay when indoor plumbing was a pipe dream for many. Heck, even modern studies point out that the Egyptians were scribbling about it in the Smith Papyrus around 2600 BC, using copper for everything from water storage to patching up wounds. So, what happened?
#10 What Happens if Bayer Pulls Roundup? - Jessica Cusworth for Farm Action, Doodle J., Meidas_Charise Lee, Black Betty, Wall Street Apes/Dee Godwin, and C Sim/Dr. Drew on X
Headlines are warning that Bayer could stop selling Roundup in the U.S. The truth? It’s a political move, not a threat to what’s on your plate. Roundup is Bayer’s glyphosate-based weedkiller. Bayer is under pressure from thousands of lawsuits tied to claims that Roundup caused serious health harm, including cancer. Now the company is threatening to stop selling Roundup in the United States unless policymakers limit the ability of people harmed by Roundup to sue the company. Even if Bayer followed through, glyphosate would not vanish, and our food system would not be in jeopardy. Here’s why...
