High-level delegations from at least nine countries descended on the same locale for parallel negotiations this weekend on Ukraine and Gaza. Setting the scene: That location was not Geneva or Paris, but a sprawling country club outside Miami, co-owned by Steve Witkoff — President Trump's lead negotiator on both of those conflicts. Breaking it down: Since joining Trump's team in January, Witkoff has split his time between his offices at the White House and at his Shell Bay club...

Senate Democrats are raising the threat of another government shutdown in late January as tensions with President Trump escalate over a series of recent maneuvers by the White House that Democrats say need a forceful response from Capitol Hill. Senate Democrats walked away from a potential deal to fund a broad swath of the federal government, including the departments of Defense, Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services, which make up roughly two-thirds of the discretionary budget, before Congress adjourned for the Christmas recess...

Less than half an hour drive away from the shiny skyscrapers of downtown Miami, what is left of the Li'l Abner Mobile Home Park bleeds out in the sun like an open, festering wound.
