As a and lifelong political junkie, and for the last six years as a journalist, I've seen my party stumble before. I've watched us weather humiliating losses, recover, and reinvent ourselves. But rarely have I felt as demoralized as I do now. These past eight months under Trump's second (failed) attempt to be president, with his reckless presidency, a far-right and compliant , and a rubber-stamping Supreme Court all against us, have been among the darkest periods in modern Democratic history.

Donald Trump has never conceded his 2020 election defeat. But after lobbying hard for Los Angeles to host the 2028 summer Olympic Games during his first term, the US president has found at least one silver lining to what he calls his circuitous route back to the White House. I didn't think I'd be here for the games in this capacity, Trump mused, as he signed an executive order naming himself the chair of the White House's LA Olympics taskforce.

The world during Donald Trump's second presidency has entered a period of danger with certain similarities to the 30s, according to Mitch McConnell, the veteran Republican former Senate leader. McConnell made the comments primarily in reference to tariffs and foreign affairs, in a wide-ranging interview with the Lexington Herald-Leader published on Wednesday as he prepares to enter his final year in office.

I've solved six wars in six months. That was U.S. President Donald Trump's response to criticism of his role as mediator between Russia and Ukraine, just hours before receiving Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy and a delegation of European heads of state on Monday at the White House. It is also a claim that has become increasingly common in the Republican's messages from the Oval Office, in statements to the press, and in his posts on Truth Social, his social network.

Lara Trump characterized her father-in-law's first six months in office as historic, claiming he had more success than many presidents across their entire terms, linking it to his resilience after adversities during his absence from the White House.

Bill Ackman aims to fund a centrist campaign targeting the left in New York City, following the Democratic primary victory of Socialist Zohran Mamdani.

California consumers' optimism towards Donald Trump's presidency has sharply declined, with confidence indexes showing a 25% drop in contrast to a 19% rise after his first election.

President Trump’s recent week, described as one full of "tremendous victories," marks a potential turning point in his administration, invoking doubts about its future direction.

"Mamdani received less than 44%, and Cuomo, less than 34%. But the final tabulation will be a mere formality at this point: Cuomo conceded defeat less than two hours after the polls closed Tuesday night..."

The selloff happened just hours after the U.S. bombed three key nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday. The total crypto market has tanked about 7% over the past day.

It's hard for marketers not to get caught in the slipstream of President Trump's economic - specifically on tariffs - policy whiplash.

Trump claimed that egg prices are down, gasoline is down, and groceries are down. Then a staffer said, Sir, those charts are your approval rating.

Trump's presidency is marked by extensive use of power, a more loyal administration, and an aggressive push for his 'one big beautiful bill' as he claims notable achievements.

The S&P 500 is experiencing its worst start in nearly 70 years, largely due to trade war concerns, but could rebound with resolutions and interest cuts.
