Trump’s leadership, America is safer than it has been in over a century — and  brand new data  proves it.  A new report  shows  the murder rate across the nation’s biggest cities plummeted last year to its lowest level since at least 1900, marking the biggest one-year drop in recorded history.

A narrow Senate vote halted a proposal aimed at pulling U.S. forces out of unauthorized hostilities involving Venezuela. In a 51–50 decision, the chamber upheld the Risch point of order against S.J.

The tie was broken by the Vice President, whose vote sustained the procedural objection and effectively blocked the resolution from advancing. Three Republican senators — Collins , Murkowski , and Paul — broke with their party to oppose the point of order, aligning with Democrats who supported allowing the resolution to proceed. Their votes underscored ongoing bipartisan concerns about the scope of executive war powers and the need for clearer congressional oversight of military actions.
