Flooding is a fact of life in Texas Hill Country, a region home to a flood-prone corridor known as “Flash Flood Alley.” Judge Rob Kelly, the top elected official in Kerr County, said as much on Sunday.

“We know we get rains. We know the river rises,” he said as a desperate search for survivors continued along the Guadalupe, a river that rose more than 30 feet in just five hours last week. “But nobody saw this coming.”

Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta slammed President Donald Trump on Tuesday for attempting to retreat from the Jeffrey Epstein files story that caused fury within the MAGA world.

On Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the administration would not release new information about the Epstein case after promising for months to do just that. This happened after the White House held a MAGA influencer event in February where it distributed binders of documents allegedly related to the Epstein case.

Parents of Venezuelan immigrants deported from the United States to El Salvador's infamous CECOT prison are saying that President Donald Trump is using their children as "bargaining chips," according to a new report from The New York Times.

The backlash comes at a time when U.S. and Salvadoran officials work to negotiate a prisoner swap involving "several Americans and dozens of political prisoners held in Venezuela in exchange for sending home about 250 Venezuelan migrants the United States had deported to El Salvador," the Times reported.

Several provisions of President Donald Trump's mega-budget bill that were cut for parliamentary reasons could resurface in future legislation, Politico reported Tuesday.

House Budget Chair Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) told the outlet during a news conference that Republican lawmakers are formulating a plan to include parts of the bill that violated the Byrd Rule in future legislation. The Byrd Rule requires that all aspects of a budget bill must have direct impacts on spending or revenue, and cannot include extraneous matters like domestic or foreign policy.

A quartet of Democratic lawmakers are warning that U.S. President Donald Trump's plans to build a "Golden Dome" missile defense system could open the door to a corrupt boondoggle.

In a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Reps. John Garamendi (D-Calif.) and Don Beyer (D-Va.) made the case that the proposed missile defense system goes well beyond what is actually needed to defend the nation against foreign missile attacks.

President Donald Trump is claiming he does not know who ordered last week’s halt in critical U.S. weapons shipments to Ukraine—a statement that immediately sparked backlash and renewed questions by critics over whether the commander-in-chief is in control of the U.S. military.

“Last week, the Pentagon paused some shipments of weapons to Ukraine,” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins told President Trump (video below) after Tuesday’s White House Cabinet meeting. “Did you approve of that pause?”

Russian President Vladimir Putin is laughing at President Donald Trump, said one MSNBC host on Tuesday.

Trump has been asked about Putin and the state of the war against Ukraine after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused a weapons shipment to the war-torn country.

A group of House Democrats is demanding answers from the Justice Department over their recent proclamation that the fabled Jeffrey Epstein "client list" doesn't exist, reported The Guardian — accusing them of burying information about the case to protect President Donald Trump.

"The House Judiciary Committee’s ranking member, Jamie Raskin, together with 15 other Democrats sent a six-page letter to the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, accusing her of withholding some Epstein files to protect the president from any damaging disclosures," said the report.
