The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the country’s largest union representing federal workers, has issued a public call for Democratic lawmakers to support a Republican-led proposal to reopen the government. The union’s endorsement comes as the shutdown surpasses its fourth week and thousands of federal employees face unpaid work or furloughs. Union President Everett Kelley criticized both parties for protracted negotiations but emphasized that the union’s pressing priority is ending the funding impasse and restoring paychecks. The letter urged Democrats to join Republicans in passing a spending resolution rather than continue stalling for more substantial policy concessions. The union’s…

Buttigieg leads with 19% support, followed by Governor Gavin Newsom at 15%, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 14%, and former Vice President Kamala Harris at 11%.

In a stark signal of shifting political tides, a recent YouGov poll placed the Labour Party at just 17% support among voters—their lowest recorded level in the survey’s history—while the Green Party trails closely behind at 16%. The polling data highlights widespread voter disillusionment, with many Labour supporters reportedly shifting their allegiances toward the Greens, Liberal Democrats, and other emerging parties. Demographic breakdowns reveal especially sharp declines among younger voters, with the Greens securing approximately 40% support in the 18-to-24 age range compared to Labour’s roughly 21% in the same cohort. Meanwhile, Reform UK leads the overall field with 27%…

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre struggled to provide clear answers during a sit-down interview with The New Yorker’s Isaac Chotiner, promoting her new memoir. The conversation quickly caught attention online for what the writer described as “meandering” and non-responsive remarks. Throughout the interview, Jean-Pierre criticized Democratic Party leadership for what she called their mishandling of President Joe Biden’s campaign, using terms like “betrayal” and “campaign to embarrass him.” She said she felt the party abandoned both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris despite believing in their leadership. However, when pressed on specifics—such as why she believed Harris could…

A sweeping leadership restructuring at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is underway, with up to a dozen senior field-office chiefs in at least eight major cities replaced by leaders drawn from U.S. Border Patrol and other agencies. The move exposes deep divisions within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over whether deportation efforts should focus narrowly on criminal non-citizens or broadly on all undocumented individuals. On one side, ICE director Todd Lyons and border-policy veteran Tom Homan advocate prioritising violence-and-crime cases—specifically non-citizens with final removal orders. The opposing camp, led by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Patrol commander…

President Donald Trump’s legal team submitted a 111-page appeal to the New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division late Monday, seeking to have his 34-count felony conviction thrown out. The appeal asserts the case is the “most politically charged prosecution in our nation’s history,” accusing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg of using unprecedented legal tactics to target the president. In the filing, Trump’s attorneys argue that key evidence should have been excluded under presidential immunity precedents, and they challenge the presiding judge’s impartiality based on past contributions to Democratic causes. The appeal also reiterates a request to move the case from…
