Democrats Sweep 2026 Midterms as Voters Punish Trump on Costs and War

  By LookAlive    WASHINGTON — Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress and expanded their hold on governorships in the 2026 midterm elections, turning voter frustration over living costs and the war with Iran into a broad rejection of President Donald Trump’s second term.   The party secured a 54–44 Senate majority after flipping seats in Texas, Kansas, Ohio, Maine, North Carolina, South Carolina and Iowa — states that had long leaned Republican. In the House, Democrats won at least 228 seats, enough to end the Republican majority and install Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as the likely next Speaker. Democrats also gained governorships, including Georgia, Texas, Ohio and Iowa, and were on track to hold 28 state executives.   The results amount to a sharp reset of Washington’s power balance two years before the next presidential race. With Congress in Democratic hands, the party can block Republican legislation, open investigations into the administration and fo...

Lionel Messi tells Barcelona he wants to leave

-

 Six-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi, has dropped a massive bombshell, reportedly telling Barcelona that he wants to leave the club and terminate his contract.


Messi, 33, has spent his entire professional career with Barcelona, scoring over 600 goals and winning 10 league titles and four Champions Leagues.


However, in the past couple of seasons cracks have started to appear in the relationship between Messi and the club, following high-profile exits in the Champions League. Messi had become more outspoken than ever, willing to criticise senior club figures as well as his own team-mates.


He reportedly was considering his future but manager Quique Setien was fired and his successor Ronald Koeman was announced. Koeman and Messi reportedly spoke on the phone where the new manager told him that the team has to come first and there can be no preferential treatment. Messi reportedly told Koeman on that occasion that he saw his future away from Barcelona.


 


Messi has now firmly decided that he wants to leave the club and has reportedly informed them of his decision via fax. It is a burofax which is a letter that has to be signed for which informs the sender that the recipient got the letter. The news, reported by several outlets in Spain and Argentina, comes shortly after it was reported that Koeman and Barcelona have told Messi’s close friend Luis Suarez that he will have his contract torn up by the club.


Messi reportedly wants to invoke a clause in his contract that allows him to leave unilaterally this summer. The clause was believed to have expired in June but could be extended due to the prolongation of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic.


Reports in Spain are now suggesting that the Barcelona board are having an emergency meeting following this development.


WHERE COULD MESSI GO?

Given Messi’s astronomical wages there aren’t many clubs who could afford to sign him.


Manchester City, managed by Messi’s former boss Pep Guardiola, are one of the options whilst recent reports have suggested local rivals Manchester United are also interested.


Serie A side Inter Milan have a long-held interest in signing Messi and might be players whilst PSG are a logical destination as a team who could certainly afford to sign him.

NEW YORK — Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has appeared before a United States federal court following his recent arrest and extradition, according to reports from international media outlets. Maduro was transported under heavy security to a federal courthouse in New York for an initial court appearance. The development marks a rare and significant moment in international criminal proceedings involving a sitting head of state. Background to the Case U.S. prosecutors accuse Maduro of involvement in drug trafficking and related criminal conspiracies. The charges stem from indictments first announced several years ago, alleging that senior Venezuelan officials participated in large-scale cocaine trafficking operations targeting the United States and other international destinations. The case had remained inactive due to Maduro’s position in power and the lack of extradition until his reported arrest. Court Proceedings During the initial appearance, procedural matters wer...
