Republicans are on the verge of giving President-elect Trump a big win on immigration to kick off his second term — and doing it with the help of Democrats while dividing the minority party on the hot-button issue.
The GOP spent years pillorying the Biden administration for being weak on the border and immigration, with that drumbeat helping them ascend to power this year. |

President Biden's single term in office will be marked by several moments that saw the White House take the spotlight.
It began with the pandemic and a raucous State of the Union. Then there was the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and his handling of wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Ultimately, his age and questions about his stamina led to him dropping out of the 2024 race that ended his decades-long political career. |

President-elect Trump's return to the White House is forcing a major shift in editorial tone by some of the nation's leading mainstream news outlets.
News organizations like The Washington Post, CNN and others are again hoping to capitalize on a so-called Trump Bump in audience, as many of them did eight years ago. |

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), a close ally of President-elect Trump and a rising GOP star in the House, is taking steps toward announcing a gubernatorial run in 2026.

Democrats are down in the dumps this inauguration weekend, and their hopes are not being lifted when they look at their prospects for winning back the White House in 2028. As President-elect Trump prepares to enter the Oval Office for a second time, plenty of Democrats looking at a potential field that includes Vice President Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer give this answer when asked who they think can put the party back on top: None of the above. |

Comedian Bill Maher slammed the government's response to the Los Angeles fires and, in part, blamed "wokeness," for the natural disaster in the region, saying the government's role is to protect its residents from "crime, violence, theft, fire." "Now is wokeness the main reason for the fires? Of course not," he said during his Friday night monologue on "Real Time with Bill Maher." |

TikTok blocked access to American users late Saturday night, just hours before a law banning the popular video-sharing platform was set to go into effect. "A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now," a message reads when American users open the app. |

A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) judge canceled an upcoming hearing on the Biden administration's marijuana rescheduling proposal pending appeals, effectively kicking the process to the Trump administration. Advocates of more lenient marijuana laws alleged DEA officials had colluded with rescheduling opponents and are hopeful the process will move ahead under President-elect Trump. |

President-elect Trump launched his first official cryptocurrency, which shot up in value quickly to kick off his inauguration weekend. "My NEW Official Trump Meme is HERE! It's time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community. GET YOUR $TRUMP NOW," the president-elect shared on Truth Social Friday night. |

OPINION | The president is not a dictator, not on "day one" (as Donald Trump has proclaimed) or on any other day. And voters did not elect Trump to be a dictator. He does not have a mandate to change the Constitution and override the other branches of government to pursue his agenda. |
OPINION | I am old enough to remember when the Democratic Party and its leadership loved Tulsi Gabbard. I remember when many seemingly common-sense, pragmatic Democratic voters lined up behind her during the 2020 Democratic primary because her voice was beginning to resonate with them as they searched for a younger and more populist standard-bearer. Remember, it was Gabbard who single-handedly dismantled Kamala Harris in a debate and knocked her out of the primary season before the first nominating contest. |
