Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted on X that he would impose a 100% tariff on New Yorkers moving to Texas if Democrat Zohran Mamdani, the frontrunner, is elected mayor. This statement was made on the eve of the New York City mayoral election and appears to be a response to concerns about New Yorkers leaving the city. Legally, such a tariff would be unconstitutional because states cannot impose tariffs on other states, and the right to travel and become a resident of another state is protected. The post garnered reactions ranging from criticism, acceptance, and uncertainty over whether it was a joke.

Many sources believe the 85-year-old California Democrat may not seek re-election in 2026, ending her nearly four-decade tenure.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is prepared to fight an election over his government’s upcoming budget, scheduled to be presented to Parliament. While the budget, which includes “generational investments” and plans to balance the operating account within three years, is deemed essential by Carney, it lacks guaranteed support from opposition parties, particularly the Conservatives and NDP, who have differing demands and concerns. Carney also confirmed he apologized to U.S. President Donald Trump for Ontario’s anti-tariff ad that disrupted trade talks, an ad that Carney had personally discouraged. Losing the budget vote would trigger an election just months after the last campaign.

The sudden demolition of the East Wing of the White House in October has raised questions about the scope of the planned replacement. The new addition, at 90,000 square feet, significantly exceeds the size of the original mansion and is larger than what would typically be needed for a ballroom.

Though the structure will include offices and other facilities, details remain scarce.

The concern here centers around the perceived lack of respect for his wife’s existing beliefs.… Continue reading
