Fmr. Trump Official: Harris Ignoring Trump’s Attacks is “Smart Political Instinct” In the high-stakes arena of American politics, where every move is scrutinized and debated, Vice President Kamala Harris has opted for a calculated approach in dealing with former President Donald Trump’s repeated attacks on her racial identity.

Speakers of State Houses of Assembly Demand Financial Autonomy: A Crucial Step for Democratic Governance in Nigeria In a bold and decisive move, the Conference of Speakers of State Houses of Assembly has called on state governors across Nigeria to immediately comply with constitutional provisions that mandate the direct disbursement of funds to state legislatures.
