Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) has never been shy about speaking his mind — and the past few weeks have given him plenty to talk about.
He's spoken out about President Trump's rhetoric on Greenland, the investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and how White House aides are steering Trump in what he views as a wayward direction.
In the process, he's turned into a leading GOP voice opposing actions by the president as he embarks on his final 12 months in office. |

President Trump's decision to suspend naturalization ceremonies is leaving residents across the country in an unusual position, now stuck in limbo after they were on the verge of gaining U.S. citizenship.
Critics say the pause is the Trump administration's latest form of collective punishment for migrants, who have seen their hopes of citizenship dashed following the deadly shooting of a National Guard member in Washington, D.C. |

President Trump on Saturday endorsed Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) to primary Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) after weeks of criticism from Cassidy regarding changes to the national vaccine schedule for children.
"I know Julia well, have seen her tested at the highest and most difficult levels, and she is a TOTAL WINNER! A Proud Mother of two children, Julia is a wonderful person, has ALWAYS delivered for Louisiana, and would continue doing so in the United States Senate," Trump wrote in a Saturday post on Truth Social. |

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Sunday, saying it needs "dramatic reform" after recent turmoil surrounding the agency.
"ICE agents are the ones breaking the law, not the peaceful protesters. So, I believe we should not be funding an ICE operation that is completely lawless. It needs dramatic reform. You know, Donald Trump said he was going to go after the, quote, 'worst of the worst,'" Van Hollen told ABC News's Jonathan Karl.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Sunday said a potential United States acquisition of Greenland would be "overwhelmingly in America's national best interest.
"When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump, for being single-mindedly focused on America First, on U.S. economic interests, and U.S. national security interests," Cruz said during an appearance on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo."

OPINION | Last year, Nicolas Maduro called for the "liberation" of Puerto Rico, implying his intent to invade the island and signaling its importance on the global stage. Maduro — an illegitimate president presiding over economic collapse, human rights abuses and drug trafficking — deserved removal.
Yet, the successful U.S. operation to oust Maduro from Venezuela, which was largely staged from Puerto Rico, also reveals an unexpected paradox: The territory that safeguards American interests in the Caribbean is home to 3.2 million U.S. citizens who are denied full political rights and equality under federal laws. |
OPINION | Minnesota's burgeoning fraud revelations threaten to put the state in play politically. Tim Walz's sudden, surprise exit indicates this could be true in 2026 and 2028. Democrats' long-time dominance there all the more precarious for the fact that, below the surface, Minnesota was already on the precipice.

Faced with the threat of punishing tariffs by President Trump if he does not get his way over acquiring Greenland, European Union leaders began to coalesce around a negotiation strategy on Sunday, without ruling out retaliatory taxes of their own. |
European shares and U.S. stock futures dropped, while gold and silver rallied to fresh intraday highs after President Trump said he would impose tariffs on several European countries for opposing his plan to take control of Greenland.

As communities across the country on Monday host parades, panels and service projects for the 40th federal observation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the political climate for some is more fraught with tensions than festive with reflection on the slain Black American civil rights icon's legacy.

Reeling from a crackdown on protesters in Iran that left thousands dead, Iranians are now grappling with feelings of betrayal, confusion and uncertainty after President Donald Trump repeatedly promised to intervene on their behalf and then declined to do so.
Some Iranians said in interviews that Trump's words of support had added to their determination to resist the Iranian government after protests erupted initially over dire economic conditions and then took on widespread demands for ousting the entire ruling system.
