President Donald Trump's White House ballroom project is being flooded with public comments — and the results are overwhelmingly against it.

The president triggered widespread outrage last year when he announced plans for a huge, gaudy ballroom more than twice the size of the central White House building, and then summarily knocked down the East Wing to make room for it, bypassing any regular procedure. The price tag for the project continues to balloon; Trump has vowed it will all be constructed with private donations and not taxpayer money, but this opens up the risk of conflicts of interest and influence-buying.

A resolution to rein in President Donald Trump's war powers failed in the Senate, but a veteran lawmaker said Congress has a powerful tool to influence the conflict against Iran.

Senators voted 53-47, largely along party lines, against a resolution that would have blocked further U.S. military action against Iran without congressional approval under the 1973 War Powers Act, but former congresswoman Jane Harmon published a column for The Bulwark reminding lawmakers of another weapon in their legislative arsenal.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s inability to make a criminal case out of President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen –– a device used by all presidents –– has put her on a collision course with Donald Trump.

On Wednesday, it was reported by the New York Times that the collapsed Biden case is the “latest example of its increasing inability to follow through on Mr. Trump’s demands and bring indictments against those he wants to be criminally targeted.”

Senate Republicans and the White House are growing increasingly exasperated with the National Republican Senatorial Committee — the party's nationwide campaign arm for the GOP in the Senate — as its chair, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and his top strategist appear to be running operations into the ground.

According to NOTUS, over a dozen GOP staffers and aides "described an organization that has devolved into dysfunction," and "both senators and the White House are growing more incensed with the campaign arm by the day, the sources say."

A lone billionaire took down a Republican congressman over a years-long personal grudge, according to sources.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), once seen as a rising star in the GOP, became the first House incumbent to be ousted in the 2026 midterm election cycle, losing to hardline conservative state Rep. Steve Toth, and sources told Axios that a Donald Trump megadonor was "hellbent" on ending his legislative career.

Two competing organizations are battling for control of America's 250th anniversary celebrations, with the Donald Trump-backed Freedom 250 raising serious corruption concerns by offering presidential access to $1 million donors while commingling taxpayer funds with private money.

America250, the congressionally mandated bipartisan commission established a decade ago, has dutifully overseen traditional anniversary programming, but it has been systematically sidelined by Freedom 250, a White House-launched public-private partnership that has captured public attention through flashy initiatives funded by federal dollars, reported the Washington Post.

Donald Trump's reasoning that he had no choice but to start a war with Iran because Iranian missiles could hit the American mainland “soon” was undercut by a report from MS NOW’s Jackie Alemany on Thursday morning.

During a military medal ceremony on Monday at the White House, the president told the audience, “The regime already had missiles capable of hitting Europe and our bases, both local and overseas, and would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.”
