Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) went out of his way on Thursday to defend the increasingly controversial U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement , staking out a position against the more progressive elements of the Democratic Party that want to abolish and replace the agency in the wake of President Donald Trump's mass deportation schemes.

Ex-NBC host Chuck Todd described the Democratic Party as a "collection of people that don't like Trump" during an interview on Thursday, speaking to the party's identity crisis.

The GOP victory lap imposed huge pressure on Democrats to finally step up with an effective political strategy to take on an increasingly dominant president — and to turn his achievement into an anvil.

Mamdani has appointed Jeffrey Lerner—a former top Obama White House aide and Democratic National Committee political director—as his communications chief.

The top Democrat in the U.S. House is holding a town hall Thursday in Louisiana, home to Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and his deputy, to rally against the health care cuts in the GOP bill that President Donald Trump signed into law.

Mr Trump wrote that Republicans were wrong to fear that Democrats would gain from accusing them of breaking a promise not to raise taxes. He clearly saw that raising taxes on the rich would instead make sense to his MAGA masses and also strip Democrats of one of their few remaining salient attacks.
