Things appear to be getting a little tense at the Fauci household.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski has officially done what plenty of Republicans suspected she might do: she is opposing Todd Blanche for attorney general. The Alaska Republican had been quiet about Blanche’s nomination for weeks, refusing to say exactly where she stood. That left plenty of room for speculation. Now there is no mystery left. Murkowski released a statement Thursday saying that while...
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is usually seen wearing the same steady smile during interviews and public appearances, the kind of expression that suggests everything is going just fine.

You may have seen the recent controversy over New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his administration’s suggestion that residents might need some kind of “library card-esque” identification to shop at the city’s proposed government-supported grocery stores. That idea was quickly walked back, but the concern did not come out of nowhere. Mamdani’s defenders have tried to frame the criticism as...
“We don’t have 50 votes” has become Sen. John Thune’s favorite excuse for doing nothing. He seems to think repeating that line will satisfy Republicans who are frustrated with his weak and ineffective leadership. It will not. Everyone already knows he does not have 50 votes.

Francesca Hong, a former chef and unsuccessful restaurant owner who is now the clear favorite to win Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, faced an uncomfortable question Monday in a setting that is normally welcoming to Democratic candidates.
