Bipartisan talks to reopen the government are intensifying. Lawmakers in both parties are feeling urgency to alleviate a growing airport crisis, pay government workers and restore delayed food aid to millions of people. But resolution still appeared far off Thursday as parties continued to debate how best to end the shutdown, now in its 37th day. Senate Democrats who have now voted 14 times not to reopen the government were meeting to discuss their options. Moderate Democrats have pushed a plan to pass a group of spending bills now and vote on expiring health care subsidies later. Other Democrats oppose that idea.
The grim task of finding and identifying victims from the firestorm that followed a UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville, Kentucky, has entered a third day. Investigators are still gathering information Thursday to determine why the aircraft caught fire and lost an engine on takeoff. Tuesday's inferno consumed the enormous aircraft and spread to nearby businesses, killing at least 12 people, including a child and three people on the plane. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg has described the scene as “horrific,” with charred, mangled metal and smoke still "rising from piles of debris.”
On today’s show, Josh Hammer takes on the shutdown battle as lawmakers remain nowhere close to a deal—proof, he argues, that Democrats are completely out of touch with what Americans actually want. Josh also breaks down the tariff hearings before the Supreme Court and explains why he believes the Court may rule against President Trump—and why that would be a serious mistake with long-term consequences for American strength and sovereignty.
Josh finishes by tearing into Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s latest appearance on The View, explaining how she’s being used as a convenient prop in the Left’s ongoing campaign to smear Trump supporters and derail the MAGA movement.
President Trump has unveiled a deal to lower costs on two popular obesity drugs. Under the arrangement, drug makers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk will expand coverage and reduce prices for their popular weight loss treatments Zepbound and Wegovy. And once new pill versions of the GLP-1 drugs are approved, starting doses will cost 149 dollars a month.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will not seek reelection — formally ending a historic career that spanned nearly 40 years in Congress.
Pelosi, who represented San Francisco since 1987, made history as the first woman to serve as speaker and became one of the most influential figures in American politics.
She helped shepherd landmark legislation such as the Affordable Care Act and more recently took part in California’s Prop 50 redistricting effort as Democrats countered President Trump in this week’s election.
Pelosi stepped down from leadership three years ago, taking the title of Speaker Emerita as a new generation of Democratic leaders takes shape.
The Washington D.C. National Guard will remain stationed in the nation’s capital at least through February 28, according to formal orders reviewed by The Associated Press.
The extension comes under President Donald Trump’s August emergency order, which directed the “Secretary of War” to protect federal property and support local law enforcement in the city.
Hundreds of Guard members continue to patrol public spaces across Washington, D.C., while also assisting with cleanup and other community maintenance duties.
The deployment extension underscores ongoing security and operational support in the nation’s capital, keeping Guard members on duty for several additional months.
President Donald Trump is warning the Supreme Court could leave the United States “defenseless” if it strikes down the sweeping tariffs he imposed this year, but legal experts say he still has multiple ways to keep taxing imports aggressively.
Trump claims his emergency powers give him near-limitless authority to set tariffs, but justices appeared skeptical during Wednesday’s hearing. Even if the court rules against him, Trump could use other laws, including Section 301 of the Trade Act to counter unfair trade practices, Section 232 for national security tariffs, and even the nearly century-old Smoot-Hawley law.
Tariffs have become a cornerstone of Trump’s second-term economic policy, with rates on imports rising sharply, and the president has framed the measures as essential to protecting American businesses.
