Kansas Democratic Senator-elect Adam Hamilton has warned his party against spending the next two years investigating President Donald Trump.

Appearing on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Hamilton, who flipped the deep red state of Kansas in last week’s midterm elections, said he would be “deeply disappointed” if his first two years in the Senate were dominated by investigations into the Trump administration.

He instead argued that lawmakers should instead focus on lowering the cost of living for ordinary Americans.

“The bigger priority for me, and I think for most people in America, especially people living paycheck to paycheck, is ‘please help us with the cost of living,’” Hamilton said.

Hamilton addedthat the incoming Democratic-controlled Congress should prioritize ending the war with Iran and reversing Trump’s tariff policies.

“If I spent the next two years, my first two years in the Senate, in investigations, I’d be deeply disappointed,” he continued.

“I want to get to work helping the people in my state and helping the people across the country.”

His remarks come as Democrats prepare to take control of both chambers of Congress following their sweeping midterm victories.

Several prominent Democrats have already made clear that they will begin their lawfare campaign on day one of the next Congress.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declared Wednesday that Democrats would launch investigations and pursue legal action at the earliest possible opportunity.

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia, has told the administration to “lawyer up.”

Hamilton, however, warned that Democrats risk squandering their electoral gains if they fail to focus on what really matters.

“Let’s focus on helping the American people,” he said.

“And I’ll tell you, the Democrats, if they don’t, if we don’t figure that out and get to work on helping people, this is going to be a one and done, kind of, you know, kind of blue wave.”

Stephen Colbert was forced to evacuate a Harvard University event Thursday evening after a fire alarm interrupted his appearance amid noisy demonstrations by striking graduate student workers.

The former Late Show host and Democratic Party propagandist, who had his show canceled by CBS in May, was appearing alongside celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma at Sanders Theatre for a discussion titled “Arts for Life’s Sake.”

The event was intended as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Harvard’s Learning from Performers program.

However, the evening descended into chaos when activist members of the Harvard Graduate Student Union, which is affiliated with the United Auto Workers, began protesting outside the venue.

Demonstrators shouted slogans, blew horns, and banged drums, making it difficult for audience members to hear Colbert and Ma.

The union had previously demanded that both men cancel their appearance in solidarity with striking workers.

Zero sympathy for Stephen Colbert, who was chased away from a Harvard lecture by stupid left-wing protesters who claim that speaking on campus means crossing a graduate student “union” picket line. Who’s afraid of freedom of speech? His team, apparently. https://t.co/vMiopfYK4p

Despite the pressure, Colbert and Ma proceeded with the event, prompting the union to accuse them publicly of crossing the picket line.

Approximately 35 minutes into the discussion, a fire alarm sounded, forcing the audience to evacuate and bringing the event to an abrupt end.

Firefighters subsequently investigated the alarm but found no evidence of a fire.

“The fire department investigated the alarm, found no reason for the alarm activation,” Cambridge Assistant Fire Chief Scott Volz confirmed.

The union denied responsibility for the alarm, insisting it was unrelated to its demonstrations and that members had no knowledge of what triggered it.

The disruption came as activist graduates and student workers continued a strike that began last month over pay, workplace protections and safeguards for international students.

The strike has also disrupted classes, examinations and other events across Harvard’s campus.

Author John Green had previously agreed to move his own Harvard appearance online and donate his speaking fee to the union’s strike fund.

Colbert and Ma, however, declined to hold the event regardless.

Harvard officials have not confirmed whether the event will be rescheduled.

A Michigan pizza worker who received nearly $800,000 in donations after confronting a group of social media pranksters has halted his fundraiser and encouraged supporters to give their money to churches and charities helping struggling families this Christmas.

Walt Z., a Red Baron pizza stocker and father, became an internet sensation after Instagram pranksters approached him while he was working late and pretended to steal money from his phone.

Walt angrily confronted the group, explaining that he was working to pay off his mortgage and support his children.

The encounter quickly went viral, prompting an outpouring of sympathy from people who were angered on behalf of a hardworking American.

A supporter identified as Luke subsequently established a GoFundMe campaign, which had raised more than $784,000 by Friday.

Rather than continue collecting donations, Walt announced Thursday that he was shutting down the fundraiser and asking supporters to direct their generosity toward people in need.

“I’ve decided to pause donations to my fundraiser today, Thursday, November 5, marking one week of your incredible generosity and support for my family and I,” he wrote.

“If you have the means and would like to continue helping others, please consider supporting another fundraiser, a local charity, or a church helping families in need this holiday season.”

Walt also thanked supporters for their extraordinary generosity, saying the donations had allowed him to spend more time with his family.

“Your kind words have meant the world to my family and I this past week,” he wrote.

“I still cannot believe how much you have all rallied behind us, and I can never thank you enough.”

Despite the publicity, Walt said he would decline interview requests to protect his family’s privacy.

“My family’s safety and privacy come first, and I feel this is the best decision for us,” he explained.

His employer, Red Baron Pizza, also recognized him as employee of the month following the incident.

Walt concluded by announcing that he would withdraw from the public spotlight to enjoy the Christmas season with his family.

“Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for making my family feel so supported. We will never forget it.”

Rep. Randy Fine, R-FL, expressed concerns over China’s growing influence on Iran, especially now given the ongoing conflict there, which started early this year.

On Capitol Hill, Fine spoke to Gateway Pundit reporter Alicia Powe and me about U.S.-China relations amid the war in Iran.

“You’re not gonna resolve everything with China. That’s an ongoing relationship,” Fine told us.

“The issues to me that I’m most concerned about are sort of trade, technology theft, and obviously their influence over Iran and bringing that conflict in ferment.”

“You’re never gonna resolve everything with China. That’s an ongoing relationship.”

@RepFine is concerned about China’s alleged influence on Iran.

China and Iran have a close economic relationship with one another. Given the ongoing conflict against Iran and China’s desire to overtake the U.S. as the most powerful nation, Fine’s concerns are worst listening to.

China could also be behind Iran’s efforts to acquire a nuclear weapon, which many Republicans argue is the reason why we are currently at war with Iran to stop this from happening.

President Trump has met with Chinese President Xi twice this year in an effort to strengthen relations, as Trump traveled to Beijing back and May and Xi came to the White House in September.

The meeting at the White House seemingly went well, with President Trump even rating it a 12/10 when he was asked about it.

Supports of President Xi and the Chinese Communist Party show their solidarity and support for both.

President Xi and the CCP might be banking on the Iran conflict weakening the U.S., which would give them a major boost in the race for global economic hegemony.

China’s foreign influence on Iran is something that cannot be ignored, especially given the war’s escalation and a tech arms race that China is waging against the U.S.

The country that wins the AI arms race will ultimately become the most powerful country and Fine gave a strict warning on China potentially stealing U.S. technology to get ahead.

President Trump has indicated that further changes to his administration could be coming following the Republican Party’s heavy losses in Tuesday’s midterm elections.

In an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, Trump confirmed that he was considering replacing some senior officials.

Asked whether he intended to fire anyone following the election results, Trump replied: “I do.”

“A little bit,” he continued. “I love my Cabinet. I think they’re good, but I’ll be doing maybe a few changes.”

“I don’t want to mention who.”

Watch the clip below:

More changes coming:

The remarks came shortly before Trump announced that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles would be leaving her position, with his longtime adviser and known immigration hawk Stephen Miller taking over.

“Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!”

Speaking to reporters, Trump defended the decision while praising his outgoing chief of staff.

“Susie has done a very good job. Great job,” he said. “We’ve got to make moves sometimes.”

President Trump says he replaced Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller as White House Chief of Staff because he “wanted to make a change.”

The president also expressed confidence in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who vengeful Democrats are already planning to impeach.

Asked whether he continued to support Hegseth, Trump responded: “I do.”

Trump subsequently played down the prospect of a sweeping overhaul amid a deluge of media reports about his plans for the remainder of his term.

“We have a great cabinet,” he added.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could lose power after President Isaac Herzog selected opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form the country’s next government.

Herzog announced on Saturday that Eisenkot, a former Israeli military chief and leader of the Yashar party, would receive the mandate to assemble a governing coalition.

The decision follows last month’s general election, in which Netanyahu’s Likud emerged as the largest individual party but his right-wing coalition failed to secure a parliamentary majority.

Netanyahu’s bloc won 53 seats in the 120-member Knesset, while Eisenkot’s opposition alliance secured 48.

Two Arab-led parties won another 19 seats.

During consultations with Herzog, 67 lawmakers recommended Eisenkot for prime minister, compared with 46 who backed Netanyahu.

Eisenkot, a former IDF commander and minister without portfolio in Netanyahu’s unity government, welcomed the decision.

“This is the time to establish a national emergency government,” he wrote on X. “I will do anything possible to prove us worthy.”

Under Israeli law, Eisenkot will have 28 days to negotiate a governing coalition, with a possible 14-day extension if an outcome is likely.

However, his path to power remains complicated by disagreements among opposition parties over whether to rely on support from Arab lawmakers.

Several opposition factions have expressed objections to forming a government dependent on Arab-led parties, despite their endorsement of Eisenkot.

Netanyahu, who received the endorsement of President Trump in the run-up to the eleciton, has also called for a unity government as negotiations continue.

The prime minister suffered another setback when United Torah Judaism, a longtime political ally, refused to support him during the presidential consultations.

If Eisenkot fails to secure a parliamentary majority, Herzog could give another lawmaker, potentially Netanyahu, an opportunity to form a government.

Should those efforts also fail, Israel could face another election to try and break the deadlock.

Netanyahu will remain in office in a caretaker capacity until a new government is sworn in.
