  • U.S. Senate moves to limit Trump’s war powers

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Massachusetts’ two U.S. senators have joined other Democrats and a handful of Republicans in passing a war powers resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s military action in Venezuela, as the U.S. House of Representatives prepares to vote on a similar measure.

    The Senate voted 52-47 Thursday to approve a resolution that prohibits further U.S. military action in Venezuela, unless Congress authorizes it. The move comes after Trump ordered the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who were brought to New York to face drug trafficking and weapons charges.

  • Moulton hits Markey over prior support for war authorization

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — An expected vote by the U.S. Senate on a war powers resolution to restrict U.S. military action in Venezuela has become a campaign issue in the Democratic primary race between incumbent U.S. Sen. Ed Markey and challenger U.S Rep. Seth Moulton.

    The Senate on Thursday is poised to vote on a war powers resolution, filed by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, to halt President Donald Trump’s use of military force against Venezuela. The move comes after Trump ordered the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, who were brought to New York to face drug trafficking and weapons charges.

  • California’s Prop 50 shakes up nation’s redistricting arms race (copy)

    [ad_1]

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Evan Cragin, president of the Sacramento County Young Democrats, said he was initially hesitant to support his party’s mid-decade push to redraw California’s congressional map to favor Democrats.

    The state in 2008 voted to create an independent redistricting commission in an effort to end gerrymandering. In August, Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed Prop 50, a ballot measure that would temporarily override the commission and implement a redrawn map favoring Democrats.

  • Nation’s redistricting arms race continues with California’s Prop 50

    [ad_1]

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Evan Cragin, president of the Sacramento County Young Democrats, said he was initially hesitant to support his party’s mid-decade push to redraw California’s congressional map to favor Democrats.

    The state in 2008 voted to create an independent redistricting commission in an effort to end gerrymandering. In August, Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed Prop 50, a ballot measure that would temporarily override the commission and implement a redrawn map favoring Democrats.

  • OK registration trend continues shift from Dem to GOP, independent

    [ad_1]

    An area trend in party affiliation over the past 14 years shows a dramatic shift in registered voters, including an increase in folks voting independent.

    Cherokee County Election Board Secretary Tiffany Rozell shared the data with Tahlequah Daily Press, which shows that over this time span, the number of Republicans increased from 5,833 in 2011 to 12,924 by October 2025. Registered Democrats in 2011 numbered 14,768, and by 2025, the number registered in that party has decreased to 9,313.

  • California’s Prop 50 shakes up nation’s redistricting arms race

    [ad_1]

    Evan Cragin, president of the Sacramento County Young Democrats, said he was initially hesitant to support his party’s mid-decade push to redraw California’s congressional map to favor Democrats.
