The Pennsylvania Working Families Party has declared its intention to challenge Senator John Fetterman in the 2028 election. The decision comes after Fetterman’s vote in favor of a Republican budget bill, which the party argues will negatively impact working Pennsylvanians by potentially removing healthcare. The party, citing Fetterman’s consistent votes with Republicans, has labeled him a “Trump-enabling corporate Democrat.” Although the party supported Fetterman in the 2022 Senate race, they now plan to recruit and support a primary challenger, and will be holding candidate trainings throughout Pennsylvania.

Senior White House officials have reportedly favored a Paramount-Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, with discussions including potential programming changes at CNN.

Hypothetically, should compromising photos of Trump with an underage girl exist, Trump would aggressively fight their release. This would involve legal battles to prevent disclosure, potentially stretching for months or years, along with efforts to destroy evidence. If forced to release them, redaction would be employed, followed by further legal challenges if manipulation is suspected. The Supreme Court’s potential deference to the executive office and likely non-compliance by Trump’s team would further obstruct any attempts at public disclosure.

The Ukrainian people have fought incredibly hard and sacrificed so much. To be asked to give up territory or make significant concessions after all of that? It’s just not something anyone would readily accept. From this perspective, the whole thing sounds like a tough sell, completely out of touch with the reality on the ground.
The plan itself, as it’s been described, seems to have a familiar pattern. It’s often been said that it involves individuals who lack experience in diplomacy or a deep understanding of Russian political culture.… Continue reading
