Democrats plan to push clean energy to lower bills and challenge Trump’s fossil fuel agenda

Some Democrats are promising to push for more clean energy to help tackle rising energy costs when they take control of Congress in January, though President Donald Trump says he will use his veto power aggressively. With new majorities in the House and Senate after last week's midterms, Democrats can set an agenda boosting clean energy and addressing climate change. While those are traditionally core priorities of the party, climate was not a central topic in this election cycle. Democrats can begin investigations and hold hearings into climate poli

Voters demanded economic relief. Trump and Democrats face tough choices on how to deliver

Voters have sent a strong election-year message to the new Democratic congressional majority and President Donald Trump: Repair the damage inflation has done to the economy. Trump, who campaigned on the idea that a Democratic victory in the midterms would trigger a 1929-style economic depression, has maintained that the economy is booming.

‘A beautifully American story’: El-Sayed's historic Senate victory resonates with Muslim Americans

Campaigning relentlessly across Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed didn’t highlight the possibility that he could become the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate.

Washington made Moscow a pariah. Now a tanker of Russian diesel is headed for US shores

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the response from the United States and its allies was swift and brutal.

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day.
