President Donald Trump's White House architects revealed that a lavish ballroom being constructed may also require adding a story to the building's main West Wing.

"I did mention the potential for a future addition, a one-story addition to the West Wing. And that would occur right here," one architect explained during a presentation on Thursday. "And you can see that the reason to think that is so that we would reinstate the symmetry along, around the central pavilion of the White House. We haven't looked at, we haven't looked at that at all yet, but hope to do so in the future."

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) announced that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) had agreed to hang a plaque honoring the officers who protected the U.S. Capitol during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

Speaking on the Senate floor on Thursday, Tillis joined with Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) to obtain unanimous consent to pass a resolution in favor of hanging the plaque after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) refused to display it throughout 2025.

Vice President JD Vance excused an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who killed a 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis by noting the officer was "sensitive" because he had been dragged by a car months before.

During a White House briefing on Thursday, Vance pointed to a CNN headline: "Outrage after ICE officer kills U.S. citizen in Minneapolis."

A Department of Justice memo that prohibited officers from shooting a moving vehicle has resurfaced Thursday and raised questions about the federal agent who shot dead 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good driving her car in Minneapolis.

CNN senior communications strategist Xochitl Hinojosa pointed out the memo and noted how it would be an important measure to review amid the investigation into the fatal ICE shooting.

Former Washington Post analyst Philip Bump choked up and became tearful on MS NOW Thursday afternoon during a segment on the shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good, while talking about the images he won’t be able to forget.

Speaking with host Chris Jansing, Bump, now an analyst for MS NOW, was asked about Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan at first saying he wanted to see how the investigation played out before commenting.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said he had placed a hold on all Department of Homeland Security nominees after Secretary Kristi Noem repeatedly declined to testify before the Senate.

"I'd simply like the Homeland Security Secretary to respond to what are now two requests by the chairman to come before the committee," Tillis told Semafor correspondent Burgess Everett, "and that's the reason why I placed the blanket hold before the shooting yesterday on anything related to Homeland Security until such time as she does that."

President Donald Trump lashed out at five Republican senators who voted to rein in his power to wage military strikes on Venezuela.

"Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America," Trump ranted after the Senate moved a War Powers resolution forward on Thursday.
