Newly obtained renderings of the planned overhaul of New York City's Penn Station show a presidential seal with Donald Trump's name carved into the wall near one of the station's new entrances — the latest in a string of public institutions and landmarks to bear the president's name.

Gothamist obtained internal architectural documents showing "President Donald J. Trump" etched into marble next to a presidential seal at the new Eighth Avenue entrance. The designs also feature gold-accented railings, columns, escalators, and American flags — motifs familiar from other Trump-branded projects.

In a blow to President Donald Trump's demands for all GOP-controlled states to redraw their congressional maps to give themselves extra seats, a majority of the South Carolina Senate effectively voted to pull the plug on redistricting for now, with a handful of Republican lawmakers begrudgingly admitting Democrats had successfully run out the clock and they couldn't change the maps because primary voting was already underway.

South Carolina Republicans could revisit the gerrymandering attempt, but the upshot is that, for now, the state's sole Democratic congressman, longtime powerbroker Rep. Jim Clyburn, will be able to secure another term in office. And both the White House and MAGA influencers are furious about it.

As President Donald Trump works to secure a deal to end the U.S. war against Iran — one that he claimed was imminent just days ago — a top official for a major U.S. ally broke ranks Monday and urged his own nation’s leader to “call Trump” directly by phone and “pound the table.”

That official is Israel Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, who demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu call Trump to inform him that Israel was “not willing to accept” the terms Iran has proposed as conditions to end the war — namely, that Israel halt its bombardment of Lebanon.

At the same time that he is serving as Donald Trump’s acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche is living under a cloud due to a lawsuit filed by two highly litigious clients dating back to his private practice days.

According to a report from Vanity Fair’s Noah Shachtman, when Blanche worked at the prestigious law firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham, & Taft, he agreed to represent Adam and Daniel Kaplan, twins in their 30’s, who were worried that they were being targeted by the Manhattan district attorney’s office for financial fraud, so they were looking for “a good lawyer, preferably one for a good price.”

Texas Republicans headed to the polls Tuesday in a make-or-break Senate runoff — and for at least one voter, President Donald Trump's endorsement didn't seal the deal. It backfired.

CNN caught up with two Republican voters outside a Plano polling location on Election Day, and their reactions to Trump's last-minute backing of Attorney General Ken Paxton told two very different stories about the state of the GOP.

Donald Trump's push to create a $1.8 billion fund to compensate allies claiming victimization by a "weaponized" Biden-era Department of Justice has triggered an unprecedented GOP revolt, with Republican lawmakers openly challenging the president by running to mainstream media outlets to amplify their criticisms.

According to Fox News media analyst Howie Kurtz, the moment represents a fundamental breaking point in Trump's control over the Republican Party. "Donald Trump did something beyond the pale and the brave Republicans are standing up to him. If you don't recall this happening before in Trump's second term, that's because it hasn't," Kurtz wrote in his Fox News column.

The Trump administration is moving to force every federal employee in the country to sign a nondisclosure agreement — a sweeping crackdown on leaks that critics say could silence government workers for good. But for Donald Trump, silencing people with NDAs is nothing new.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management posted a draft notice Tuesday that would bar federal workers from sharing a wide array of "non-public, confidential, or proprietary information" or "any sensitive, pre-decisional or deliberative material" not already available to the public. The rule goes well beyond typical classified and unclassified designations.
