The White House said Tuesday that separate aid bills set for a vote in the US House this week appear to meet the long-delayed military needs of Ukraine and Israel.

But US President Joe Biden needs to study the proposals by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson more closely before making a final decision, it added.

Donald Trump's media group said Tuesday it will launch a streaming television platform, but its shares continued to tumble on Wall Street.

The announcement came as 77-year-old former US president Trump sat through a second day of jury selection in his historic criminal trial.

Mike Johnson can count on at least some Democrats to save his job after a second Republican announced he supports U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's efforts to remove the embattled GOP Speaker of the House. Weeks ago Greene filed a motion to "vacate the chair," which she can call up at any time to force a vote that could lead to Johnson losing his gavel.

"I just told Mike Johnson in conference that I’m cosponsoring the Motion to Vacate," U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) declared late Tuesday morning. "He should pre-announce his resignation (as Boehner did), so we can pick a new Speaker without ever being without a GOP Speaker."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) mistakenly suggested that Laken Riley should have been deported before her alleged murder at the hands of an undocumented migrant.

Greene made the remark Tuesday during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing with DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Republican strategist Sarah Chamberlain, of the RepublicanMain Street Partnership, thinks that the people in the courtroom who witnessed Donald Trump falling asleep are mistaken.

Chamberlain made the comment to MSNBC on Tuesday morning, moments after Law360 reporter Frank Runyon revealed he saw Trump fall asleep during his hush money trial for a second day in a row.

Russia but not President Vladimir Putin will be invited to the French ceremony in June to mark 80 years since the D-Day landings during World War II, organizers said Tuesday.

In February 2022, Putin sent troops to Ukraine, shredding ties with the West. And in 2023, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin on the war crime accusation of unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children.

Former President Donald Trump went on an angry rant outside of a courthouse in Manhattan on Tuesday, and CNN host Kate Bolduan wasted no time correcting some false claims that he made.

While appearing outside the courthouse, Trump rehashed many false claims about the trial, including the idea that legal scholars were unanimous in declaring it a sham trial and that it was all a plot by President Joe Biden to derail his 2024 presidential bid.

Former President Donald Trump's allies are auditioning to be his running mate by taking to the airwaves to defend him against criminal charges, and his campaign has offered some suggestions for framing the case.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge on Monday, completely halting traffic for hours as part of a coordinated day of action against Israel's war in Gaza.
