Newsom formally declared his plans at a rally Thursday to call a special election for November that would allow state lawmakers to redraw California's congressional map in response to President Trump urging red states to do the same. |

Moderate Democrats have been wary of progressive upstart-turned-party-nominee Zohran Mamdani since before he secured the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor in June. But Mamdani, the self-proclaimed Democratic socialist, has made efforts to widen his tent in recent weeks. On Monday, he met with business leaders and gave a speech at an African Methodist Church, seeking to appeal to demographics that have been lukewarm, and even outright resistant, toward him. |

The White House responded to an NPR report revealing that U.S. government papers about the President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin summit in Alaska were left on a public hotel printer, dismissing it as "hilarious." "It's hilarious that NPR is publishing a multi-page lunch menu and calling it a 'security breach,'" White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said in a Saturday statement to The Hill's sister network, NewsNation. "This type of self-proclaimed 'investigative journalism' is why no one takes them seriously and they are no longer taxpayer-funded thanks to President Trump." |

OPINION | Here's the most important thing to know about President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The evil dictator wants to continue killing people because he likes it. Conversely, Trump would like to save lives. Trump literally rolled out the red carpet for evil Putin, showing him respect he doesn't deserve. But sometimes flattery can lead to positive outcomes. |
OPINION | The controversy over the 2010 Affordable Care Act dominated Barack Obama's presidency. The implementation of ObamaCare caused health insurance premiums to soar and nearly collapsed the market entirely. The Biden administration responded by flooding the system with expanded federal subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of 2025. To stop premiums for older workers with pre-existing conditions from suddenly leaping by $10,000, Republicans will need to extend part of this additional funding. But in return, they should insist on reforms to allow healthy Americans to purchase better value insurance with their own money. |
