Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth suffered yet another loss in his legal fight to control the Pentagon press corps.

In a brief order issued on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman issued a preliminary injunction in favor of The New York Times, barring Hegseth from enforcing a policy that effectively requires members of the press to be led around by an escort in the Pentagon unless they agree to an onerous set of restrictions on their activities that include not publishing any leaks they might receive.

President Donald Trump's top adviser Stephen Miller suggested on Fox News Tuesday evening that now the Supreme Court has struck down the executive order abolishing birthright citizenship, the administration could retaliate by prohibiting all foreign pregnant women from entering the country as a means of preventing the right from being granted.

"If you have birthright citizenship, it means that if a person comes here nine months pregnant to go look around at some things, in a couple of weeks, that is the mother of a lifetime American citizen and a direct line into cash and welfare for the rest of that child's life," said Miller.

President Donald Trump lost big at the Supreme Court on Tuesday as a majority of the justices struck down his executive order abolishing birthright citizenship in the United States — but it's possible there's an alternate reality in which he could have won this, the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote.

Specifically, they argued, Trump could have tried a much less sweeping change to America's citizenship system, and gotten a more favorable result out of it.

Political analysts ridiculed Vice President JD Vance on Tuesday night after he gave a bizarre interview to Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

During the interview, Vance claimed that Democrats were not working with Republicans to address the rising cost of living. That's despite Congress passing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act with overwhelming bipartisan support, a bill that President Donald Trump has said he won't sign because he views it as a "betrayal to his base."

A legal expert was alarmed on Tuesday after analyzing the recent spate of opinions handed down by the Supreme Court.

Quinta Jurecic, a staff writer at The Atlantic, said in a recent interview with Will Gotsegen, another staff writer at the publication, that the Supreme Court sent a troubling signal to President Donald Trump that it is still willing to let him get away with a lot. That's despite the court ruling against Trump in the birthright citizenship case, which Trump and his allies had staked a lot on.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) lashed out at far-right rebels in his caucus as their plan to force passage of the SAVE America Act crumbled around them on Tuesday, CNN reported.

The SAVE America Act, pushed aggressively by President Donald Trump for months, would add draconian new requirements to voter registration and verification, billed as proof-of-citizenship requirements, that would make it vastly more difficult for millions of people to vote. It doesn't have the votes to pass in the Senate.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) revealed something "deeply disturbing" about the state of American politics on Tuesday after he melted down over a recent Supreme Court decision.

Johnson was asked by reporters for his reaction to the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to uphold birthright citizenship, a move that court watchers described as a rebuke of President Donald Trump. The case stemmed from an executive order Trump signed last year that sought to unilaterally remove birthright citizenship, as guaranteed in the 14th Amendment, from the Constitution, from those born on U.S. soil to undocumented or temporary-resident parents.

A MAGA lawmaker sparked outrage after he made a wild claim about the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela during an interview on CNN.

Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), who is known as one of Trump's close allies in Congress, told CNN's Boris Sanchez on Tuesday that the Trump administration bears no responsibility to account for the more than 150 people recently deported to Venezuela who are now missing because the hotel they were staying in collapsed. The deportation flight landed in Venezuela about 24 hours before the earthquakes began, according to reports.

Freedom 250 is calling crowd critics "Negative Nancy skeptics" as DC News Now reported sparse attendance at the Great American State Fair.

President Donald Trump created Freedom 250 to run the 16-day fair on the National Mall, part of America's 250th anniversary celebration.

Second lady Usha Vance attended the Great American State Fair on the National Mall to host a bookmark contest, but despite her efforts to pretend otherwise, she was greeted with the same thing the rest of the Trump administration has seen — sparse to nearly nonexistent attendance.

According to The Daily Beast, "the vice president’s wife presented the winners of her 'Bookmark Design Challenge to Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary,'" in which children from kindergarten to 8th grade showed off their “original, hand-drawn bookmark reflecting what America means to them.”
