President Trump Criticizes Climate Science Amid Record Heatwave, Raising Concerns Over Environmental Policy

President Trump has intensified his criticism of climate science, labeling reports from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine as 'fraudulent, biased, and misleading.'

US Senate Passes Russia Sanctions Bill Backed by Late Senator Graham, Awaits House Approval

The U.S. Senate has passed a comprehensive sanctions bill targeting Russia, a measure strongly supported by the late Senator Lindsey Graham. The legislation, known as the 'Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026,' aims to increase economic pressure on Russia due to its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The bill, which passed with an 86-11 vote, includes provisions for imposing tariffs on countries heavily reliant on Russian oil and gas, such as China and India. The bill also extends sanctions to Iran, aligning with President Trump's foreign policy objectives. Despite the Senate's approval, the bill faces skepticism in the House of Representatives, where concerns have been raised about the broad tariff powers it grants to President Trump. Critics argue these powers could lead to increased costs for U.S. consumers and potential political backlash.

Additionally, a new report from the American Federation for Children reveals that approximately 1.7 million children in North Carolina are eligible for scholarships under a new federal school choice tax credit, benefiting 93% of the state's K-12 population.
