Senate Democrats are skeptical about their former colleague, former Vice President Kamala Harris, making another presidential run in 2028 after she lost all seven battleground states to Donald Trump in November, but most of them aren't ruling out the possibility that she could clinch the party's nomination if she plays her cards right.
Harris reemerged on the national stage last week at a San Francisco gala by delivering a widely publicized speech on Trump's first 100 days in office, sounding at times like a candidate again as she slammed him for creating "the greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history." |

Starting Monday, student loan borrowers who find themselves in default will face government-backed involuntary collections, signaling a brand new landscape after years of pauses, delays and Biden-era relief efforts.
Garnished tax returns, Social Security payments and even wages will all be fair game on May 5 after a five-year pause on severe financial consequences that began during the economic upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic. |

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) is positioning himself as one of President Trump's loudest critics within the Democratic Party, stirring more speculation around his own future political ambitions.
Pritzker used a speech in New Hampshire last month to attack Trump and his administration, describing the president as someone "who claims to love America but who hates our military" while also calling out the "do-nothing" members of his party. |

Secretary of State Marco Rubio's new assignment as President Trump's interim national security adviser brings him deeper into an inner circle dominated by "America First" loyalists.
But that may not mean more clout on policy decisions. | |

The Voice of America (VOA) reporters' plan to return to work next week is up in the air after an appeals court issued a stay on Saturday, halting a late April order from a district judge that prevented the administration from dismantling the international broadcaster.
The court, in a 2-1 opinion, ruled that the federal government is likely to succeed on the underlying facts of the case and that district court judge Royce Lamberth likely lacked "subject-matter" jurisdiction to shoot down parts of President Trump's mid-March executive order regarding the expenditure of government grants and personnel actions. |

Vice President Vance defended President Trump from criticism regarding his Friday Truth Social post portraying himself as a pontiff days after the death of Pope Francis.
"Hey, @JDVance, you fine with this disrespect and mocking of the Holy Father?" Bill Kristol, who served as chief of staff to the vice president in the Bush administration, wrote in a Saturday post on the social media platform X. "As a general rule, I'm fine with people telling jokes and not fine with people starting stupid wars that kill thousands of my countrymen," Vance, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, wrote in a response to Kristol, who was an advocate for the 2003 Iraq invasion. |

Tech billionaire Elon Musk reflected on his speech after President Trump's inauguration in January, while lashing out at the media for mis-portraying what he called a loving gesture as a Nazi salute.
Musk, who has played an influential role in helping Trump overhaul the government during the president's first 100 days in office, slammed those who have criticized his role as an adviser in the administration and for comparing his rhetoric and mannerisms to Nazi Germany during a recent interview on Fox's "My View with Lara Trump." |

OPINION | You have probably already seen the jokes and memes about how President Trump is putting Secretary of State Marco Rubio in charge of so many orphaned government entities. What next? Will he be appointed to the Supreme Court? To the Fed?
Yes, it's all good for a laugh. But as someone who has been involved with most of these agencies, I can say with certainty that there is a method to the madness. By making a single person responsible for these specific entities, Trump has fixed a flaw that had been undermining U.S. foreign policy. |
OPINION | Justin Trudeau's time as prime minister will be remembered as one of the most destructive eras in Canadian history. Under his watch, Canada's national identity was diluted, civil liberties were trampled, economic competitiveness cratered and divisions between citizens deepened beyond repair.
From draconian COVID crackdowns to the reckless invocation of the Emergencies Act against peaceful protesters, Trudeau normalized authoritarianism under the guise of tolerance and progress. While smiling for Vogue covers, he reduced a proud, hard-won heritage into little more than a backdrop for photo ops and platitudes. |
