Republican leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives is facing growing concern as their slim majority leaves control of the chamber vulnerable to Democratic gains. With just a few seats separating the parties, GOP lawmakers are intensifying efforts to defend key districts and maintain cohesion among their ranks. The narrow margin means that even small shifts in public opinion, special elections, or member defections could tip the balance in favor of Democrats. Democratic strategists, meanwhile, see opportunities to capitalize on competitive districts and expand their representation, particularly in areas where recent political trends suggest increased support for their candidates.

In public remarks, Trump warned that if state and local leaders failed to bring the situation under control, the federal government could step in to restore stability. The…

Instead of accepting those resignations, the department formally fired the officials, who had been involved in broader enforcement work in the state. The dispute centered on disagreements over how the shooting — and particularly the scope of…

White House officials responded by publicly ridiculing the governor’s appearance and message, with some calling on him to step down. The exchange added to growing political…

Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives are sounding the alarm over concerns that their slim majority could be at risk amid shifting political dynamics and growing Democratic momentum.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed an $80 billion spending package, even as a growing number of progressive Democrats voiced strong opposition to the measure. The bill, which includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security and other key government agencies, drew scrutiny from members of the party’s left flank who objected to certain priorities and allocations within the proposal. Despite those objections, House leadership secured enough support to move the legislation forward, underscoring continuing divisions within the Democratic caucus over spending and policy direction. Lawmakers in favor of the bill argued it is necessary to keep critical government functions…
Key Senate Republicans reversed their earlier positions and helped defeat a bipartisan effort aimed at limiting President Donald Trump’s authority over U.S. operations involving Venezuela. The proposal had been introduced to require greater congressional approval before any future military or enforcement actions could be taken. Earlier support from some Republicans had suggested the measure might pass, but several lawmakers changed their votes after the administration said there were no plans to send U.S. ground troops into Venezuela. The resolution was also tied to concerns following recent U.S. action that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, which raised…
NASA has announced that the United States intends to build a nuclear power reactor on the Moon by 2030 as part of its long-term strategy for sustained lunar exploration.

Unlike traditional solar power systems, the nuclear facility would be capable of delivering continuous electricity through the lunar night, which lasts about two weeks. NASA officials say the initiative aligns with broader goals to establish a permanent human presence on the Moon, reduce reliance on Earth-based resources,…
