Political reporting that follows evidence, not narrative. This section covers elections, governance, legislative processes, and political accountability across national and international contexts. We present what governments do, what they say, and where those two things diverge — without optimising for outrage or faction. Sources are cited, claims are AI-reviewed, and where politicians make factual assertions we check them. Our political journalism aims to leave readers better-informed about how power operates and is exercised, not angrier at the other side.
Zimbabwe's constitutional amendment changes the machinery of democracy as much as the election calendar. The bill approved by the Senate this week would replace direct presidential elections with selection by lawmakers, extend presidential and parliamentary terms from five years to seven, and push the next presidential vote from 2028 to 2030 if it becomes law.

Congress has turned the Iran fight into a constitutional test. Both chambers have approved H.Con.Res. 86, a war-powers resolution directing President Donald Trump to remove US forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress has authorised the action.
