GOP Promises Thorough Oversight Hearings On Trump Executive Moves

Wed, Sep 24, 2025 at 7:07 pm

Senate Republicans say upcoming hearings will provide thorough oversight of President Trump’s use of executive power. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) says he;s observed a lot of presidents and says they all try to exert as much executive power as they can. Then he says as a matter of course those decisions often have to face scutiny from the courts and Congress, Thune told CNN Republican senators “have a responsibility as an independent, coequal branch of the government to make sure that we’re doing appropriate oversight of these decisions.”

Myanmar Holds Second Round of Elections

Sat, Jan 10, 2026 at 10:17 pm

YANGON (AP) – Myanmar holds a second round of elections amid armed conflict in the country.
Correspondent Bernie Bennett has this report.

VERBATIM:
Myanmar resumed voting Sunday in the second round of its first general election in five years, expanding polling to additional townships, including some areas affected by the civil war between the military government and its armed opponents.

Polling stations opened at 6 a.m. local time in 100 townships across the country.

Many of those areas have seen clashes in recent months or remain under heightened security, underscoring the risks surrounding the vote.

The election is being held in three phases due to armed conflicts. The first round took place on Dec. 28 in 102 of the country’s total 330 townships, followed by the second phase on Sunday.
