The legislation, dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” passed the U.S. House in May with only Republican votes and a razor-thin margin. It proposes an extension of Trump-era tax cuts, a boost in defense and immigration enforcement spending, and cuts to safety net programs such as Medicaid and SNAP. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated the plan would increase the federal deficit by roughly $2.4 trillion over the next decade and lead to 10.9 million mo

Ukraine launched its most extensive and damaging strike on Russian soil since the start of the war, deploying a clandestine swarm of 117 drones that reached as far as Siberia and damaged or destroyed dozens of strategic bombers on June 1. The operation, dubbed “Spider’s Web,” was the culmination of an 18-month covert mission, according to Ukrainian officials, and marked a dramatic escalation in the conflict just as peace talks were set to resume in Istanbul.

Under existing Ohio law, it is legal for agencies to require officers to meet citation or arrest targets. House Bill 131 would prohibit both formal and informal quotas and prevent law enforcement agencies from using those figures to influence promotions, transfers, or disciplinary actions. The bill also introduces a provision for anonymous reporting of quota policies to the Ohio Attorney General’s office, which would have the authority to investigate and issue cease-and-desis

The announcement was made during a phone call from President Trump to their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, which she shared on social media. Savannah, a vocal supporter of President Trump, had actively campaigned for their release, including speaking at the 2024 Republican National Convention. In a video posted online, she expressed her disbelief and gratitude, stating, "The president called me personally as I was walking into Sam's Club and notified me that he was signing pard

In a rare display of bipartisan unity, the U.S. Senate unanimously passed the “No Tax on Tips Act” on May 20, 2025, marking a significant step toward changing the financial landscape for millions of American service workers. The bill, which now heads to the House of Representatives, would exempt up to $25,000 in annual tip income from federal income tax for employees earning $160,000 or less.

The downgrade follows similar decisions by S&P in 2011 and Fitch in 2023. Together, these actions reflect growing skepticism among global financial observers about the U.S. government's ability to sustainably manage its finances. Moody’s cited recent fiscal proposals under consideration, such as large-scale tax cuts and expansive spending bills, as contributing to the downgrade. These initiatives, the agency said, demonstrate a continued trajectory of budgetary deterioration

In a dramatic pre-dawn session on Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly approved President Donald Trump's expansive tax and spending package, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," by a 215-214 vote. The legislation, central to Trump's second-term agenda, now advances to the Senate, where significant revisions are anticipated.

The refusal comes despite the city’s prior release of two surveillance videos — both silent — that captured segments of the same incident. Those videos omit any audio of the verbal altercation allegedly instigated by McDaniel. According to Sgt. Jason Moze’s incident report, McDaniel, in a “panic state,” entered City Hall yelling, demanding to know the mayor’s location, and proceeded to scream at staff and berate officers, reportedly shouting about Moze being a “giant white ma

President Donald Trump's sweeping domestic policy proposal, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," narrowly advanced out of the House Budget Committee late Sunday night following a rare weekend vote. The committee approved the measure by a 17–16 vote, with four Republican holdouts—Reps. Chip Roy (Texas), Ralph Norman (South Carolina), Andrew Clyde (Georgia), and Josh Brecheen (Oklahoma)—shifting from opposition to voting "present," allowing the bill to proceed without their

The Supreme Court's decision does not prevent the administration from using other immigration laws to pursue deportations but restricts the use of the Alien Enemies Act without proper legal procedures. The case will continue in the Fifth Circuit to determine the legality of the administration's actions and the appropriate notice required for deportations under this statute.

Former special assistant to the mayor, Patrick Costigan, filed a complaint on May 14 with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, alleging McDaniel created a hostile work environment at City Hall through repeated antisemitic remarks and behavior. Screenshots submitted with the complaint show McDaniel using slurs and offensive language in text messages targeting Jewish colleagues and residents, including Planning Commission Chair

A grassroots initiative to eliminate all property taxes in Ohio has received approval from the Ohio Ballot Board to begin gathering signatures in hopes of placing the constitutional amendment before voters in November. The proposal, spearheaded by Citizens for Property Tax Reform and the Committee to Eliminate Property Taxes in Ohio, would not only abolish existing taxes on real property but also prohibit any future property taxation.

The bill outlines $715 billion in Medicaid cuts, which the CBO projects could result in at least 8.6 million individuals losing health coverage. Provisions include mandatory work requirements for childless adults aged 19 to 64, increased cost-sharing for beneficiaries, and stricter eligibility verification processes. Additionally, the bill proposes shifting a portion of Medicaid costs to states, a move that could strain state budgets and lead to further reductions in coverage

The immediate legal question before the Court is not the constitutionality of the executive order itself but whether individual federal judges possess the authority to issue nationwide injunctions that block such presidential actions. Federal judges in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have already issued such injunctions, preventing the enforcement of the order across the country.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) conducted an investigation into the incident, concluding that Officer Derbin was ambushed and killed by suspect Deshawn Vaughn, who later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound during a standoff with police. A Cuyahoga County Grand Jury reviewed the case and returned a no-bill, indicating insufficient evidence to indict any officers involved.

The U.S. General Services Administration has officially confirmed plans to sell the Anthony J. Celebrezze Federal Building in downtown Cleveland, a move that could relocate thousands of federal workers and reshape the city’s office real estate landscape. The 32-story, 1.2-million-square-foot tower, which currently houses around 4,000 employees from more than 30 federal agencies, is part of an initiative by the Trump administration to shrink the government’s real estate portfo
