Vance family welcomes fourth child, a historic milestone for a sitting VP

Vice President JD Vance and wife Usha announced the birth of their fourth child, Alec Neel, making Vance the first sitting VP to have a baby in office since 1870. The couple thanked medical staff, shared joy over the newborn, and noted plans to base a second home in Middleburg, Virginia, which has drawn security concerns. Vance cited the death of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk as a factor in expanding their family and, while viewed as a potential 2028 candidate, will decide on a run after the 2026 midterms, with Rubio's prominence fueling speculation about the GOP field.

Meyers skewers Trump 2.0's magnet obsession and the politics of distraction

Seth Meyers uses Late Night to mock Donald Trump’s 2.0 presidency, highlighting his fixation on magnets, aircraft carriers and other odd obsessions while juxtaposing them with stubborn inflation, rising costs and ongoing global flashpoints. The segment also references Trump’s promises on fuel and groceries, RFK Jr.’s controversial comments on sperm counts, a teleprompter operator profiting from Trump speeches, and a costly, unresolved deal with Iran, ultimately concluding that Americans just want affordable living amid a steady stream of scandals and distractions.

Freestyle skier Eileen Gu, who represents China at the 2026 Winter Olympics, rebukes JD Vance’s critique that she should root for American athletes, saying she’s flattered, that politics often paints China with a broad brush, and that her decision to compete for China is about maximizing her impact rather than rejecting the United States.

Trump’s Year Zero Fades as Reckoning Emerges

Matt Bai argues that Trump’s second-term ‘Year Zero’ revolution peaked in 2025 but did not erase institutional checks; his anti-intellectual, identity-focused agenda and a loyalist advisory circle sought to reorder society and the international order, yet Democratic backlash and electoral results have undermined momentum, suggesting the coming year will test whether the movement endures or fades, with U.S. institutions still functioning and voters likely steering away from a sequel.

Musk's 'America Party' Signals Fracture in Trump's Coalition

Elon Musk's plan to create an 'America Party' signals potential fractures within Trump's Republican coalition, driven by dissatisfaction with both parties and historical precedents of insurgent parties. Experts suggest Musk's top-down approach and focus on issues like national debt could influence key races, but the longevity of such a party remains uncertain, especially if it fails to develop lasting ideas that resonate with voters.
