President Donald Trump has introduced a strikingly unconventional transformation to the White House’s historical displays, turning a traditional walkway honoring former presidents into a sharply worded political statement. Along the West Colonnade near the Rose Garden, newly installed plaques beneath presidential portraits present blunt assessments of Trump’s predecessors while offering an expansive portrayal of his own record in office. The changes have drawn immediate attention from vis

US President Donald Trump asserted on Friday that all documents signed through an autopen during the tenure of former president Joe Biden have been terminated and will no longer carry legal effect.

Trump claimed that nearly 92 per c

President Donald Trump formally withdrew his endorsement of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday, ending a long-running alliance that had once positioned Greene among his most vocal supporters in Congress.

California voters have overwhelmingly approved Proposition 50, Governor Gavin Newsom’s controversial redistricting plan that reshapes congressional boundaries across the state. The measure, which effectively suspends California’s independent redistricting commission until the next census in 2030, has drawn both praise and criticism for its potential impact on partisan balance and democratic fairness. Early results show Proposition 50 passing decisively, with approximately 65 per

Maryland’s governor has warned that hundreds of thousands of residents could soon lose access to food assistance because the federal government has refused to release Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds.

Speaking from Annapolis, the go

The 30-stock Dow rose 218.16 points, or 0.47%, to finish at 46,924.

Russia has rejected United States President Donald Trump’s recent demand for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing war with Ukraine, reaffirming its long-held conditions for peace.

India is once again at the center of global diplomatic attention after former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed to halt Russian oil imports. The Indian government swiftly denied the statement, emphasizing that its energy decisions are made independently and based solely on national interest.

Hours after United States President Donald Trump asserted that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had personally assured him that New Delhi would soon halt the purchase of oil from Russia, the Indian government issued a carefully worded statement reiterating its independent energy policy. The clarification underscored India’s commitment to protecting its national interests and consumers amid global price volatility, without directly confirming or denying Trump’s remarks. In a s

The United States has warned that steep tariffs could soon be imposed on China if Beijing proceeds with its newly announced restrictions on rare earth exports, heightening concerns of another trade confrontation between the two largest economies in the world. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Tuesday that the decision now rests largely on China’s next actions, suggesting that the situation remains fluid in the run-up to a crucial diplomatic meeting later this month.

Former President Barack Obama has entered the political fray ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, appearing in a new campaign advertisement urging California voters to approve Proposition 50 — a ballot measure that could significantly alter the state’s congressional landscape in favor of Democrats.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was forced into a rare public apology this week, after US President Donald Trump pushed him to directly address Qatar over a deadly airstrike in Doha. The strike, which took place on September 9, killed five people, including the son of senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya, and rattled Washington as well as key mediators in the ongoing Gaza ceasefire talks.
