Dianne Feinstein first took public office four years after I was born. I am now 49. In the long intervening decades she amassed such unflinching power in the U.S. Senate that her California constituents never had a real voting alternative. She raised a Political Action Committee that served as a funding source for her many elections. Her PAC catered to wealthy Californians and grew arms and legs across the state and into the Nation’s capital. She sat on, and eventually chaired, one of the most powerful committees in the U.S. Congress. Feinstein grew to be an institution unto herself, an unquestioned pillar of the American government. She also accumulated a personal fortune, despite never having worked a day since graduating from Stanford University in 1955.

A growing number of Republican lawmakers are pushing back against the Department of Education's recent guidance that cuts federal funding for school archery and hunter education courses.

Since the inception of his presidency, Joe Biden has navigated a complex political landscape, with challenges ranging from public health crises to international diplomatic tensions. Approval ratings, historically, have been a reflection of the public's sentiment towards a leader's decisions and actions. These ratings, often seen as the heartbeat of public opinion, provide a snapshot of how the nation perceives a leader's performance. While a national perspective offers a broad understanding, diving into state-specific ratings, such as those in Illinois, can reveal more granular insights. Illinois, with its diverse demographic and economic landscape, serves as a microcosm of broader American sentiment, making its approval ratings particularly significant.

The old rule about incumbents was that if they are under 40 points in approval, they are toast. However, President Joe Biden is under 40, and there is almost no chance he will win reelection. Three in six recent polls had him in the thirties, with one recent poll showing him at an abysmal 32 percent. This is unrecoverable, and it is unfair to think that an incumbent polling under 40 points can win reelection.

In a significant move on Tuesday night, the House voted overwhelmingly to reverse the Biden administration's resolution that barred federal funding for school shooting sports programs. By a 424-1 margin, the House endorsed the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act. Remarkably, 216 Republicans and 208 Democrats favored the bill, with Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, standing as the lone dissenting vote.

In recent years, Joe Biden's history of racially insensitive remarks has generated significant controversy and led to declining support among minority voters. Criticized for their racial undertones and perceived insensitivity towards the Black community, Biden's comments, such as his infamous statement suggesting that those who do not vote for him 'ain't Black,' have drawn widespread condemnation.

In the ongoing legal battle between former President Donald Trump and Judge Tanya Chutkan, the judge has firmly stood her ground, rejecting Trump's plea for recusal.

Agriculture Department chief Tom Vilsack talks a good game about taking on Big Ag. But despite reassurances that his leadership of the country's agriculture focuses on "competition" and protecting small farms — the country's farmers have lashed out. Especially those here in Texas, a place thousands of the nation's small farms have called home.

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been in the news this week because he just filed a lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani and Robert Costello, among others. Here is what we know about the breaking news lawsuit and the events leading up to it:

The United States has imposed new trade restictions on eleven Chinese and five Russian companies for their apparent roles in supplying components to the Russian government to construct drones for use in the war against Ukraine. All told, some 28 companies, some even from Finland and Germany, will be placed on a trade blacklist which will make it increasingly difficult for any suppliers in the U.S. to provide them technology. The fact that so many countries around the world are continuing to assist Russia in the production of military equipment that has been used to destroy not just Ukrainian military targets but also civilian targets far from the front lines is concerning to say the least.

In a transformative move, President Joe Biden has signed a groundbreaking bipartisan bill set to revitalize the United States' organ transplant network by introducing increased competition. This historic legislation, named the Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act, aims to streamline the organ transplant process by expanding the number of organizations involved, ultimately saving more lives.

Since several years ago, thousands of Venezuelans have been departing their country as a result of political unrest and economic hardships, creating a significant crisis. Because of the appeal of the United States as a destination, these people have immigrated in significant numbers. This quick transformation has been influenced by a variety of circumstances, such as political turmoil, hyperinflation, and a shortage of basics. These refugees frequently encounter difficulties integrating into society and overcoming legal and other obstacles in their host nations. President Biden's recent decision to grant work permits to these individuals is a monumental step, offering a glimmer of hope to those seeking a better life and potentially changing the dynamics of the crisis.
