President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly pull the United States out of the World Health Organization (WHO) on the first day of his administration, the Financial Times reported.
Rep. Kay Granger, a longtime Republican congresswoman from Texas, has been located in a memory care nursing facility after being absent from the Capitol for six months.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) is optimistic about the future of Second Amendment rights with President-elect Donald Trump in the White House. After years of battling anti-gun policies in Washington and state capitals, NRA CEO and Executive Vice President Doug Hamlin expressed excitement about working with Trump on several pro-gun initiatives. The NRA is eager to support Trump in pushing for national concealed carry reciprocity and reforms at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).
President Donald Trump has publicly called for Republican Representative Chip Roy (TX) to face a primary challenge, accusing him of obstructing Republican efforts to secure a victory in the ongoing debate over a new continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government. Trump's comments come in the wake of the collapse of both the Democrats' and Mike Johnson’s government spending bill, which has led Congress to deliberate a new piece of legislation known as the “American Relief Act of 2024.” The bill seeks to prevent a government shutdown while addressing issues such as disaster relief for areas affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, as well as supporting farmers.
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, which killed 103 people and caused an estimated $53 billion in damages, North Carolina has received significant aid for recovery efforts, including over $1.1 billion in state relief and billions more in federal requests. The storm, considered the state’s worst natural disaster, has prompted both state and federal governments to take action, though criticism has followed regarding the adequacy of those efforts.
