Former President Barack Obama reemerged Thursday night with a sharp rebuke of President Donald Trump’s policies, calling on Americans — especially young progressives — to be ready to “possibly sacrifice” in resisting what he sees as a dangerous unraveling of the post-World War II international order. Speaking at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, Obama’s […]

In a stunning rebuke to President Trump’s trade policy, the Senate voted 51-48 on Wednesday to terminate his emergency declaration that imposed 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods — a move the president had framed as essential to combatting fentanyl and defending American manufacturing.

“The Americans have absolutely got a case.” That’s how British Defence Minister John Healey responded this week when asked about leaked Trump administration messages slamming Europe’s lackluster defense contributions. While European leaders continue to clutch their pearls over alleged Signal app comments from Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—calling European allies “pathetic […]

In a disappointing twist, the Supreme Court has upheld a leftover regulation from the Biden era targeting so-called “ghost guns”—those DIY firearm kits that, until recently, were perfectly legal to own and assemble.
