DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin refused Tuesday to commit to following federal court orders, telling senators he reserves the right to disregard rulings he considers politically motivated — setting off a tense confrontation at a Senate Appropriations hearing with the panel's top Democrat.

A Republican supporter's birthday tribute to Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers backfired spectacularly on Tuesday after she posted an AI-altered photo that gave the former congressman a conspicuously jacked physique — and his likely Democratic opponent pounced.

Abby Ronson, a political operative at Convergence Media who claims on her X profile to be a former staffer for both Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Rep. Brian Jack (R-GA), posted the image with the caption "HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Michigan's next Senator, @MikeRogersForMI!!! LET'S GET TO WORK."

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz found himself on the other side of the tough questions Tuesday, fielding a pointed inquiry about President Donald Trump's unusually frequent medical exams during his turn at the White House briefing podium.

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday to triumphantly announce that the White House Correspondents' Dinner will get a do-over.

"In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th," Trump wrote. "This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling."

President Donald Trump has built his political brand on defying limits, but a series of high-profile reversals in recent days suggests that even he cannot indefinitely outrun the consequences of his most outlandish gambits.

The Trump administration signaled Monday that it plans to abandon its $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund" following an adverse court ruling — a significant retreat on an initiative that had already sparked a revolt among Republican congressional leaders, and he beat a retreat on renaming the Kennedy Center after himself, reported CNN's Aaron Blake.

Donald Trump’s attempt to insert Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHA) Director Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on Tuesday could run into a legal roadblock according to MS NJOW’s Ken Dilanian, with Republican lawmakers also questioning whether he should hold the job.

According to a report from the New York Times, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), James Lankford (R-OK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) are questioning his stunning lack of experience in intelligence matters.
