Congress is moving key legislation via the budget process, including possible Medicaid cuts and an extension of the 2017 tax law. But much of the media frames it as “Trump’s agenda” or his “big, beautiful bill.”
A new analysis explores how Republicans and Democrats have been handing over power to the executive branch:

On March 11, 889, a 22-year-old Japanese emperor wrote in his diary about his new black cat.
This diary entry is a rare and poetic historical artifact: a firsthand account of a beloved black cat written by Emperor Uda (宇多天皇) of Japan in 889 CE, when he was just 22 years old. It's considered one of the earliest known descriptions of a domestic cat in Japanese history, particularly in such a vivid, personal way.

Das Bild zeigt eine sehr ungewöhnliche Erdbeere, die in Form eines Erdbären aussieht. Die Erdbeere ist rot und hat eine unregelmäßige Form, die an ein Tier erinnert. Sie liegt in einer Hand, die im Vordergrund des Bildes zu sehen ist. Der Hintergrund ist unscharf und zeigt keine weiteren Details. Oben im Bild steht in großen roten Buchstaben "Das ist ein Erdbär!" und darunter in kleineren weißen Buchstaben "Eine vom Aufessen bedrohte Rasse!". Die Erdbeere hat eine grüne Spitze und kleine Samen auf der Oberfläche.

The video features a person walking down a cobblestone street in a picturesque, historic setting. The individual is dressed in a black jacket, black jeans, and black shoes, with a backpack slung over their shoulders. They walk with their arms crossed, exuding a relaxed demeanor. The street is lined with traditional buildings, and a stone archway is visible on the right side, adding to the historical ambiance. The background includes green trees and a clear blue sky with some clouds, enhancing the serene atmosphere. In the distance, a few people are seen sitting on stone steps, enjoying the view. The scene is well-lit, suggesting it is daytime, and the overall setting appears to be a popular tourist destination.
