US Congress returns to unfinished business and new era of Donald Trump

Congress returns to a changed Washington as President-elect Donald Trump's hard-right agenda is quickly taking shape, buoyed by eager Republican allies eyeing a full sweep of power on Capitol Hill while Democrats are sorting out what went wrong. Even as final election results are still being tallied, the House and Senate leadership is pushing ahead toward a second-term Trump White House and what he's called a mandate for governing, with mass deportations, industry deregulation and wholesale gutting of the federal government. Trump is already testing the norms of governance during this presidential transition period telling the Senate to forgo its advise-and-consent role and simply accept his Cabinet nominees and he is staffing his administration and finding lawmakers willing to bend those civic traditions. Trump's going to deliver his deportations, the drilling, the wall it's going to take all of us getting together, said Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., a conservative member of the ..

Opponents of wind energy expect Trump to kill industry upon return to WH

Opponents of offshore wind energy projects expect President-elect Donald Trump to kill an industry he has vowed to end on the first day he returns to the White House. But it might not be that easy. Many of the largest offshore wind companies put a brave face on the election results, pledging to work with Trump and Congress to build power projects and ignoring the incoming president's oft-stated hostility to them. In campaign appearances, Trump railed against offshore wind and promised to sign an executive order to block such projects. We are going to make sure that that ends on Day 1, Trump said in a May speech. I'm going to write it out in an executive order. It's going to end on Day 1." They destroy everything, they're horrible, the most expensive energy there is, Trump said. They ruin the environment, they kill the birds, they kill the whales. Numerous federal and state scientific agencies say there is no evidence linking offshore wind preparation to a spate of whale deaths al

US Fed set to cut interest rates again as post-election uncertainty grows

Federal Reserve officials are poised Thursday to reduce their key interest rate for a second straight time, responding to a steady slowdown of the inflation pressures that exasperated many Americans and contributed to Donald Trump's presidential election victory. Yet the Fed's future moves are now more uncertain in the aftermath of the election, given that Trump's economic proposals have been widely flagged as potentially inflationary. His election has also raised the specter of meddling by the White House in the Fed's policy decisions, with Trump having proclaimed that as president he should have a voice in the central bank's interest rate decisions. The Fed has long guarded its status as an independent institution able to make difficult decisions about borrowing rates, free from political interference. Yet during his previous term in the White House, Trump publicly attacked Chair Jerome Powell after the Fed raised rates to fight inflation, and he may do so again. The economy is al
