Trump says he won't sign bills until Congress overhauls voting President Trump is pushing the Senate to abandon the filibuster and pass the SAVE American Act, a bill top Democrat calls "Jim Crow 2.0."

Is there a special term for a president who's a lame duck because he shot himself in the foot?

Through the lens of history, Trump's legacy will be more of a blotch than a Maga masterpiece | Simon Tisdall Take this hopeful thought into 2026: the tyrants we endure always falter, and their β€˜seismic’ upheavals are usually false dawns, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

"Time will show the Trump era to be less turning point, more freakish aberration – a sort of Prohibition for populists. In history’s bigger picture, Trump is a blotch, an unsightly smear on the canvas."

Nouhou as the elder, calming statesman of Cameroon -- and their captain -- is a vibe. Probably not something on the bingo card of many #SoundersFC fans. Ans Cameroon is holding their own against a heavily-favored Ivory Coast.
