Republicans have clinched a majority in the House of Representatives, securing a full governing trifecta alongside control of the Senate and the White House. This victory grants Donald Trump significant legislative power to advance his agenda. The Associated Press confirmed that Republicans won at least 218 House seats, with the deciding win in Arizona, more than a week after polls closed nationwide. This outcome means Republicans will wield considerable influence over issues such as federal spending, debt ceiling debates, and foreign policy, dashing Democrats’ hopes of using the House as a check on Trump’s plans. Republicans had already secured the…

A teenager is currently in critical condition in a British Columbia children’s hospital, believed to be the first human case of bird flu in Canada. “This was a healthy teenager prior to this, with no underlying conditions,” provincial health officer Bonnie Henry said during a press conference on Tuesday. “This serves as a reminder that this virus can progress rapidly in young individuals, causing severe illness,” Henry added, noting that the teenager’s deterioration was swift. On Saturday, British Columbia health officials reported that the province had identified Canada’s first human H5 bird flu case in a teenager. Henry mentioned that…

A Spirit Airlines flight en route to Port-au-Prince from Florida was struck by suspected gang gunfire on Monday, causing it to be diverted to the Dominican Republic.

After Trump’s victory in the presidential race, the Uncommitted National Movement, an anti-war group, voiced its disappointment, critiquing the Democratic Party for failing to respond to its base and prioritize progressive agendas. Since its inception last winter, the group has been calling on the Democrats to act on demands for a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo on Israel, warning that they would lose support if these demands were ignored. While the final voting picture for Arab and Muslim Americans is still emerging, there was a noticeable shift in communities traditionally aligned with the Democratic Party. A significant portion…

A new book by the lead strategist of Project 2025—a divisive agenda for Trump’s potential second term—relies heavily on fiery metaphors, advocating conservatives to “burn away” institutions considered adversarial to their cause. Following Trump’s recent election victory, Joe Biden urged calm in his White House address, calling for an easing of political tensions. Meanwhile, the book’s author, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, mixes classic quotes with clichés, describing the need for a “controlled burn” targeting entities like the FBI, Ivy League colleges, the Boy Scouts, and prominent media outlets. Entitled Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America, Roberts’…

In an overwhelming Republican sweep, the GOP seized control of the U.S. Senate and strengthened its position in the House of Representatives, shifting the political landscape and placing former President Donald Trump back in the White House. This sweeping victory reflects a significant redirection in American politics, driven by complex voter concerns that ultimately sidelined the Democratic Party. While Republicans celebrated this “red tsunami,” Democrats face the question: why did they lose the polls so decisively? The GOP’s success stems from a mix of strategic campaigning, widespread dissatisfaction with the Democratic approach to pressing issues, and backlash against what some…

Republicans have secured a majority in the U.S. Senate, yet the status of the House of Representatives remains unresolved as of Wednesday evening, with numerous critical races yet to be decided.

Republicans in North Carolina won three seats previously…

Early Wednesday, Donald Trump proclaimed victory in the U.S. presidential race shortly after partial counts showed him leading in pivotal swing states. “This has been the greatest political movement ever,” Trump declared from his Florida headquarters, although the official outcome was still pending. He celebrated the win as a “great victory for the American people,” promising a “golden age” and a “healing” for America, with chants of “USA” from his supporters. Trump highlighted the Senate shift back to Republican control as a historic mandate, saying it granted Republicans a central role in Washington, including influence over cabinet approvals and potential…

Election day has arrived in the United States, with millions of voters heading to the polls in one of the most closely watched and pivotal contests in recent history. Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican rival, Donald Trump, are in a tight race, with little difference in national polls that have shown minimal movement for weeks. Key swing states, such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina, are evenly split, with Pennsylvania anticipated to play a decisive role in the outcome. “If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole thing,” Trump, 78, declared at a rally…

As Americans prepare to vote on November 5, 2024, the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remains close, with both candidates presenting vastly different visions for the country’s future.

In key battleground states, Trump appears to hold slight advantages in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina, suggesting these states may lean in his favor. Harris, however, maintains small leads in Michigan and Wisconsin, which could prove crucial given their historical significance in recent elections. Meanwhile, the race in Pennsylvania and…
