President Donald Trump is welcoming the top investors of his personal cryptocurrency, $TRUMP Coin, to the president’s golf club in Virginia on Thursday. It's an event some believe violates anti-corruption laws — something that even his son Eric Trump thought might mean the event couldn't happen.

Speaking to CNN on Thursday, Wall Street Journal reporter Josh Dawsey said that businessman Bill Zanker is collaborating with Trump on the meme coin events.

The full Washington, D.C. Circuit court refused to overturn motions in the case involving funding to Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, among others.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) called for nuclear weapons to be used against Gaza following Wednesday night's shooting of two Israeli staffers at the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington.

During a Thursday morning interview on Fox News, Fine insisted that "Palestinianism is built on violence."

Any excitement House Republicans may have felt after spending weeks cobbling together an acceptable budget bill that met the needs of both GOP hardliners and moderates was likely dampened by comments made by influential Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

Not long after the budget bill passed by one vote on Thursday with two Republicans joining with Democrats to halt it, Graham was cornered by reporters and asked how it will be received during negotiations with GOP senators who will have their say before a final budget is approved and sent to Donald Trump.

Speaking with CNN host Dana Bash, Raju said, "This bill would add roughly $3.8 trillion to the national deficit over the next several years, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)). Some of them want to cut spending deeper to try to offset some of the deficit increases, others are concerned about how it deals with some of those cuts."

"So the question will be if they were able to get that through the Senate, which is a narrow Republican majority, will the House Republicans ultimately accept it and send it to President Trump's desk?" he asked.

He then shared a clip where he asked Graham, "Some of the Freedom Caucus members are warning you guys not to water down any of their cuts. What do you say to them?"

A former aide made explosive claims about Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and the nude photos she recently showed on the House floor.

The congresswoman's former political adviser Wesley Donehue testified in a deposition that Mace planned to use the naked photos she found on her boyfriend's phone as leverage to get him to give her two properties. He said the MAGA lawmaker loved to play "the victim card" and constantly talked about sex, reported The Daily Beast.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Thursday afternoon, fuming at a federal judge after he ruled against the administration on an immigration hearing.

“A Federal Judge in Boston, who knew absolutely nothing about the situation, or anything else, has ordered that EIGHT of the most violent criminals on Earth curtail their journey to South Sudan, and instead remain in Djibouti,” Trump said.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor of "a ridiculous line of questioning" after she pointed out President Donald Trump falsely claimed that video of crosses in South Africa was a "burial site" for white farmers.

"The president showed a video that he said showed more than a thousand burial sites of white South Africans, and he said they were murdered," Alcindor told Leavitt at Thursday's press briefing. "We know that that was not true and that the video wasn't doing that."

LaTrice Currie, anchor of Atlanta's Local 3 News, pressed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) about how she could support deporting teen immigrants with brown skin while accepting white South African refugees.

During a Thursday interview, Currie noted that ICE had wrongly detained Ximena Arias-Cristobal at a traffic stop.

GOP infighting doesn’t stop with the passage of the House spending bill, it just moves to the Senate. One key issue that could cause more “roiling” in the party is the SALT tax, according to a Vox report.

Standing for State and local tax, it allows Americans to deduct up to $10,000 worth of property taxes and sales taxes from their federal taxes. The House bill has now increased the deduction to $40,000.
