Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-Calif.) announcement that he is leaving Congress didn't come as a shock — but his departure will have ripple effects for the House and the Republican conference.

Former President Trump took a swing Friday at former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) after his stronger debate showing. "Sloppy Chris Christie is not fit to run for President. He is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome," Trump posted to Truth Social. "According to all, he came in LAST in the debate, and I came in FIRST, as I have in all of the debates, without even being there. MAGA!" |

An appeals court largely upheld a gag order limiting former President Trump's statements as he faces federal prosecution for seeking to block the transfer of power, broadening his ability to attack special counsel Jack Smith while leaving in place limitations on other parties. The ruling from a three-judge panel of the D.C.

OPINION | With representatives from 197 countries gathered this week in Dubai to discuss ways to fight climate change, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) introduced a bill that would make the much-hyped energy transition a bit harder. It's a reminder of the difficult trade-offs facing U.S. policymakers. |
OPINION | For a week, it looked like peace was possible. Then, only a day after the truce between Hamas and Israel fell apart, Israel's air force pounded Gaza once again, reportedly killing over 700 Palestinian in a day.
