Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized nearly three weeks after his admission, the Kentucky Republican’s office confirmed Thursday. The news has rippled through Washington, prompting questions about leadership, Senate operations, and how Republicans will manage a prolonged recovery. Even without detailed medical updates, the party must balance respect for privacy with the public’s need for stability. This is a moment that tests both institutional resilience and political judgment. Republicans value steady leadership, and McConnell has been a defining figure in the Senate for decades.…

After a brief stretch of sub-$3 gasoline, a war in Iran and a shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz sent crude soaring — at one point Texas crude hit $119 and Brent topped $100 — pushing pump prices above $4.50 before markets and politics pushed them back down toward pre-war levels near $67 a barrel, even as global inventories remain thin and Persian Gulf output may not fully return until early next year. At the start of the year, average gas below $3 per gallon felt like a rare win for drivers and for the broader economy. Then conflict in…

A memo from Graham Platner’s campaign exposes a stark fundraising shortfall as Republican groups pour millions into defending Senator Susan Collins, raising questions about how Democrats will respond and how a recent Supreme Court ruling could widen the money gap. Graham Platner’s campaign memo itself warns the race is being described as “being blown completely out of the water” by Republican outside spending on behalf of Sen. Susan Collins. The memo, shared publicly, lays out a financing picture that looks dire from the Democratic perspective. National attention has now shifted to whether Democrats can close that gap. The numbers are…

Michelle Obama’s reported casting veto on Cheryl Hines for Larry David’s new HBO sketch project is framed as a politically driven decision, tied to Hines’s marriage to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and rests on anonymous sourcing that has not been publicly verified. The claim is that Michelle Obama, credited as an executive producer on the show, intervened to keep Cheryl Hines off the seven-episode project hosted by Larry David. Insiders say the move had nothing to do with Hines’s talent and everything to do with her husband’s role in the Trump administration. Hines spent twelve seasons opposite Larry David on…

The FBI captured Abdikerm Abdelahi Eidleh in Mogadishu after nearly four years on the run, accusing him of playing a central role in the $250 million Feeding Our Future pandemic relief fraud that allegedly siphoned federal child nutrition funds into shell companies and fake vendors. The arrest of the 42-year-old Burnsville, Minnesota man comes after a September 2022 indictment that listed 31 federal counts tied to one of the largest pandemic-era thefts of taxpayer money. Federal prosecutors call Eidleh a “central figure” in the scheme and say he fled the country instead of answering the charges in U.S. courts. The…

Delegations issued statements and pressed talking points, but the summit did not produce a clear, enforceable plan that keeps pace with rival powers. From a…
