President Donald Trump and Republicans are having problems selling the president’s signature legislative accomplishment, the One Big Beautiful Bill, before next year’s midterm elections. Their problems come after former President Joe Biden and Democrats similarly experienced difficulties selling Biden’s cornerstone pieces of legislation, from the American Rescue Plan Act to the Inflation Reduction Act, before […]
Well before President Donald Trump put a national spotlight on the public safety crisis in Washington, D.C., the capital’s police force faced a chronic scarcity of officers due to Democrat-championed policies driving out officers in droves.

He smoldered through it, those piercing blue eyes and chiseled cheekbones carving a place in cinema history as indelible as London’s East End, where he was born.
