Washington — The Senate could move forward as soon as Tuesday on a request from the White House to claw back $9.4 billion in funds for international aid and public broadcasting as Congress faces a Friday deadline to act.

In what's known as a rescissions package, the White House in June requested that Congress cancel billions in funding that had previously been approved for spending, starting the clock on a process that gives lawmakers 45 days to act.

The move seeks to make permanent some of the Department of Government Efficiency's spending cuts...

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., and Democrats have said they expect it will be "brutal" for Waltz.

The role — the last of Mr. Trump's Cabinet...

Exit polling from Fox News showed only 20% of the LGBTQ voted for the president after the 2024 election, a sharp decline from the 28% reported by the New York Times after the 2020 election.

But the "Spot On with Link Lauren" podcast host, a former Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advisor turned political influencer with roughly 1 million followers across...

Donald Trump stands accused of trying to repeal the 20th century.

That’s how the New York Times puts it, and there is ample reporting to back that up.

But I would add this bit of perspective.
