US politics
US politics is covered here at both ends of the power structure. In Washington, the Senate delivers a rare bipartisan rebuke over Iran war powers, a tense Capitol meeting follows, and Trump blindsides Republicans by calling off a housing bill signing, while a nuclear reactor loan plan revives the energy-and-climate debate. In New York, Mamdani-backed candidates sweep the city's Democratic primaries and Frank Carone's arrest extends scrutiny of Eric Adams' inner circle. Patriot Front's July Fourth march in Washington tests how a capital handles extremist spectacle.
