As the city of Minneapolis and the nation commemorated the fifth anniversary of George Floyd‘s murder this past Memorial Day weekend, the years-long national movement to reform police interactions with Black and brown communities–sometimes deadly–has seen both progress and major setbacks.

What Trump’s decision to wade into spending fight tells us about the next 4 years

WASHINGTON (AP) — After days of threats and demands, Donald Trump had little to show for it once lawmakers passed a budget deal in the early hours of Saturday, narrowly averting a pre-Christmas government shutdown. The president-elect successfully pushed House Republicans to jettison some spending, but he failed to achieve his central goal of raising the debt limit. It demonstrated that despite his decisive election victory and frequent promises of retribution, many members of his party are still willing to openly defy him. Trump’s decision to […]

Senators took down one Trump Cabinet pick. But the fight over their authority is just beginning

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a short phrase in the Constitution, mentioned in passing. But it’s already taking on an outsize significance as President-elect Donald Trump charts his return to office. The withdrawal of Matt Gaetz as Trump’s nominee for attorney general dramatically affirmed that the Senate still maintains its “advice and consent” powers when it comes to vetting and installing a president’s Cabinet. Yet it may be only a brief reprieve from the intense struggles to come as Senate Republicans try to preserve their constitutional […]

Democratic Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett slammed Republicans for suggesting Democrats were to blame for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
