Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old first-time candidate, unseated Diana DeGette who has served in Congress since 1997 — the year Kiros was born.
When reporters pressed Trump on his billion-dollar earnings, he insisted he has no contact with those managing his investments. His answer — that he has 'closed accounts or something' — left more questions than it answered about where presidential and financial interests diverge.
Qatar gifted Trump a brand-new Air Force One worth more than $400 million. Unlike typical government assets, this plane is set to remain in the Trump realm after he leaves office — framed by the White House as a future presidential library donation.
DSA-backed candidates have won high-profile primaries in New York and Colorado by combining economic populism with hard-left positions — rejecting corporate PACs, calling for abolishing ICE, and ending US military aid to Israel. It's a formula energizing voters in deep-blue areas, even as centrist Democrats fear it will cost them swing seats.
Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old first-time candidate, defeated Diana DeGette — a Denver congresswoman who has held her seat since 1997, the year Kiros was born. The win is the latest sign that the anti-establishment wave is powerful enough to topple even respected progressives.
The US men's national team beat Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 in the World Cup round of 16 — their first knockout-stage win in 24 years. The victory came under dangerous heat after star striker Folarin Balogun was sent off, forcing the US to play a man down for more than 25 minutes.
Malik Tillman is so quiet that reporters often struggle to hear him speak. Then he stepped up to a free kick in a shorthanded World Cup knockout game and buried it over the wall. Born in Germany with an American military father, Tillman is the dual-national wildcard the US needed.
Folarin Balogun scored 3 goals in 3 World Cup games — tied for second-most ever by a US man in a single tournament — before a red card suspension rules him out against Belgium. It's a massive blow to a team that had just found its clinical striker.
Belgium beat the US 5-2 in a March friendly, but they've looked beatable in this tournament. A US win — without Balogun — would send them to the quarterfinals for the first time in the modern World Cup era, matching their all-time deepest run.
Democrats not aligned with DSA now face a bind: tap into the same anti-establishment energy without being painted as socialist extremists. Matt Bennett of Third Way warns it's 'very hard to distinguish yourself' — and the GOP is already calling every Democrat a communist.
Trump's 2025 financial disclosure shows the president and his family earned over $1 billion — led by $600M in meme coin sales and $500M from World Liberty Financial. The crypto haul dwarfs his real estate empire and has sparked conflict-of-interest alarms that the White House flatly denies.
