Despite Senator John Fetterman’s re-election not being until 2028, the Working Families Party has launched a website, PrimaryFetterman.com, to facilitate a primary challenge against him. The website will serve as a hub for opposition research, volunteer recruitment, and donation refund requests. The progressive group, which previously supported Fetterman, initiated the unseating effort in November, generating hundreds of sign-ups from potential candidates and donors. This push is fueled by Fetterman’s shift toward the right on certain issues, which has caused him to lose support from previous allies and staff.

While exports are unlikely to resume in 2026, the Russian Ministry of Energy has not completely ruled out a future resumption if China expresses interest.

Canada, China set for ‘historic’ gains from new partnership, Carney says. This is something that seems to be on everyone’s minds right now, and it’s easy to see why. The world is definitely changing, and the relationships between countries are shifting in ways that we haven’t seen before. It feels like the United States is pushing its allies away, which is creating a real opportunity for countries like Canada and China to strengthen their ties.

His “strategy” seems to be a familiar one: pressure tactics and economic threats. The go-to move appears to be the threat of tariffs. It’s like he’s pulling the same card he’s played countless times before.… Continue reading
