The Socialist politicians are coming! In Minneapolis, Democratic Socialist Omar Fateh is favored to be Minneapolis's next mayor. In New York City, bettors say there's an 80% chance that socialist Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor.

The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement is taking aim at school lunches in a move advocates say is unrealistic without devoting more federal resources to K-12 students.    While some schools can only afford to buy frozen meals that are heated up and served, the Trump administration is looking for freshly cooked meals that will take more employees and ingredients to put together.   The MAHA Commission was required to send over recommendations to...

Chris Murphy has been warning for months that voters want Democrats to fight. This summer, the Connecticut senator is picking a battle that puts him at odds with his Democratic colleagues.

They say 25 years, but they don’t know what that means because...

In May, the Arizona representative Yassamin Ansari toured a detention facility where immigrants rounded up as part of the Trump administration’s campaign of mass deportation were being housed. She described what she saw inside as “sickening” and “worse than prison” – immigrant detainees were held in overcrowded, moldy cells and many reported that they did not have reliable access to food, water or medical care. Two months later, Ansari returned to the remote desert complex to...

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a bipartisan group that has criticized the Trump administration and its predecessors for not doing more to address national deficits, reported that the monthly tariff revenue in July jumped to $25 billion, up from $7 billion a year ago.
