House Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to pass President Donald Trump's Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE America Act, by attaching it to the annual defense budget bill, or NDAA, a strategy devised by conservative hardliners led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL).

However, the plan backfired when 14 House Republicans blocked the procedural vote, according to Politico.

Former RNC spokesperson Cheri Jacobus claimed President Donald Trump is "too mentally feeble" to hold office and executive assistant Natalie Harp has effectively taken control of the West Wing.

Speaking on her YouTube show, Jacobus said, "Natalie Harp. She's a 34-year-old executive assistant to Trump, and she has unnerved her colleagues by leaving out letters for Trump that say things like, 'You are all that matters to me.'" Reports of these letters appear in Regime Change, a new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

Legal analyst Lisa Rubin characterized Justice Clarence Thomas' birthright citizenship dissent as "disappointing" during an MS NOW discussion following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling upholding birthright citizenship in Trump v. Barbara.

Rubin said Thomas was "picking up a thread that Solicitor General John Sauer left for him" and "taking the bait" by drawing a distinction between Black Americans and children of "foreign temporary visitors."

Less than an hour after the Supreme Court dealt the Trump administration a devastating blow by rejecting its attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship, President Donald Trump began plotting a legislative workaround.

On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process.”

Internal financial documents reveal Salus Worldwide Solutions, or Salus, the contractor managing President Donald Trump's $1 billion Project Homecoming self-deportation initiative, almost exhausted its funds by May.

A burn-rate dashboard, a financial tool used to visualize and track a company's cash flow, projected the company would reach "burnout" by May 26, reported The Daily Beast's PunchUp. As of May 7, Salus had only 13 operational days remaining and $38.85 million in reserves against a $2.7 million daily spend rate.

Longtime conservative columnist Matt Lewis, who supported Marco Rubio in 2016, expressed concerns about the Secretary of State's viability as President Donald Trump's presumed MAGA successor, questioning whether he is "damaged goods."

Writing for NOTUS, Lewis articulated his central worry: while a President Rubio offers "a tiny bit of hope," that optimism collapses under scrutiny of Rubio's Trump administration record.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) asserted to Politico that a bipartisan, landmark housing bill will become law and President Donald Trump will not veto it.

This marks one of the few issues on which Johnson has threatened Trump, according to Politico's Meredith Lee Hill.

President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of a golden eagle attached to the White House facade on Monday.

"A Golden Gift to the White House for its 250th Birthday Year!" The President posted on Truth Social.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann expressed deep concern about the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Trump v. Slaughter, which overturned 91 years of precedent allowing presidents to fire independent agency members without cause.

Weissmann highlighted Chief Justice Roberts' use of the word "secrecy" when describing executive branch vitality, calling the language "chilling."

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against President Donald Trump's efforts to eliminate birthright citizenship, a constitutional right established in 1868.

Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority, "Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community," in Tuesday's ruling.

During C-SPAN's Washington Journal program Monday, a Republican caller from North Dakota suggested American citizenship be limited to white people, citing the 1790 Naturalization Act that limited citizenship to "free white persons."

Jim, the caller, argued the nation's founders never intended large-scale immigration and expressed disapproval of current demographic changes.

The Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump's challenge to state laws allowing mail ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted after Election Day.

Despite the ruling, the court simultaneously issued its decision in Trump v. Slaughter, overturning nearly a century of precedent by allowing the president to fire members of independent agencies without cause.

White House staffer Margo Martin, whom President Donald Trump has called his "most beautiful" aide, faced mockery Monday over a video she posted on social media trying to flatter Trump.

Martin recorded Trump walking through Lafayette Square on Sunday with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum as they discussed recent renovations tied to the president's "beautification" projects, according to The Daily Beast.
