McConnell to Step Down , as Senate Republican Leader.
The Senate's longest-serving leader
ever, Mitch McConnell, will step
down in November, AP reports.
The 82-year-old made the
announcement on Feb.
28.
One of lifeās most underappreciated talents
is to know when itās time to
move on to lifeās next chapter, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
So I stand before you today ... to
say that this will be my last term
as Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
While McConnell will no longer serve as the Senate's Republican leader, he will complete his term,
"albeit from a different seat in the chamber," he said.
That term ends in January 2027.
President Biden, 81, commented
on the development.
Iāve trusted him and we have
a great relationship.
We fight like
hell.
But he has never, never,
never misrepresented anything, President Joe Biden, via statement.
According to McConnell's aides, the
announcement was not related to health issues.
As I have been thinking about when I would
deliver some news to the Senate, I always
imagined a moment when I had total clarity
and peace about the sunset of my work, Mitch McConnell, via statement.
A moment when I am certain I have
helped preserve the ideals I so
strongly believe.

U.S. Congressman Al Green has vowed to launch impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump within 30 days, calling the former president a āGoliathā who has amassed dangerous levels of power. Speaking at the āHands Off!ā protest rally in Washington, Green likened himself to David and accused Trump of illegally dominating Congress, the military, and the justice system. The protest also condemned Trump and Elon Musk for their alleged corruption and control over federal policy. Greenās move marks a third push to impeach Trump, despite Republican dominance in both the House and Senate.

In a dramatic late-night session, Senate Republicans passed a budget blueprint that sets the stage for extending Donald Trumpās tax cuts ā and they did it without a single Democratic vote. By bypassing the filibuster through budget reconciliation, the GOP now has a clear path to push through Trumpās economic, military, and border priorities.
With $5 trillion in potential spending cuts and a looming debt ceiling crisis, this vote marks the beginning of a high-stakes budget war on Capitol Hill. Will this reshape Americaās economic future ā or ignite political chaos?

In whatās shaping up to be a historic and emotionally charged farewell to Pope Francis, world leaders are gathering in Vatican City ā and the spotlight is on former U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden. According to the reported seating chart for the funeral, the two political rivals are expected to be seated close together in the third row, potentially leading to an awkward public moment in front of a global audience.

U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump are set to attend Pope Francisā funeral but will reportedly be seated in the third rowābehind Catholic and non-Catholic royalty. The UK Telegraph dubbed the placement āhumiliating,ā especially after Trump had mocked Bidenās 14th-row spot at Queen Elizabethās funeral. World leaders, including Trump, will sit alphabetically by country (in French), possibly placing the Trumps near Estonia or Eswatini. The optics of this seating have stirred buzz online and could reignite debates on America's global status and Trumpās past remarks.

A new YouGov poll reveals growing public skepticism toward President Trump's China tariff policy. Only 16% of Americans believe the U.S. will benefit from his strategy, while 46% think neither country will gain long-term. The poll shows deep partisan divides, with 61% of Democrats saying no one benefits, and only 29% of Republicans believing tariffs help only the U.S. Meanwhile, nearly half of all Americans see trade with China as āvery importantā for the U.S. economy. As Trump doubles down, public doubt continues to grow.
