WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court blocked further construction of President Trump’s planned White House ballroom Friday, ruling that the massive project must first receive congressional approval.
A divided panel of DC circuit judges determined that “Congress has exclusive authority to regulate the construction and demolition of White House structures.”
“We are aware of no instance in American history in which a President unilaterally and using privately collected funds demolished substantial portions of the White House that Congress authorized to be built and American taxpayers paid for. Until now,” wrote judges Patricia Millet and Bradley Garcia in their majority opinion. “The Constitution’s Property Clause vests Congress with plenary control

The Democratic establishment could be facing a seismic political reckoning not seen since MAGA’s historic overhaul of the Republican Party.
A progressive flavor of Democratic candidates has swept their establishment opponents this election cycle, most recently with Abdul El-Sayed’s primary win in Michigan against Rep. Haley Stevens. Sayed’s upset victory is just the latest in a string of progressive primary wins, many of which are associated with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Sayed is not a DSA-endorsed candidate himself, but his anti-establishment appeal and progressive campaign promises echo several DSA candidates who have enjoyed political success. Much like MAGA’s successful takeover of the Republican Party just a decade ago,

This is turning out to be quite the year for the Democrat Party to trot out their oddest oddballs and run them for office. Michigan might have the highest concentration of freaky Dem candidates in 2026, but the seemingly sane state of Tennessee is in the running for that honor, too, because of one man: Justin Pearson. On his best day, this guy exudes the weirdo aura of ten standard Democrats. On his worst day, he dances like an epileptic James Brown and talks like a revivalist preacher, usually on the floor of the Tennessee legislature. It's performative politics at its worst.
He first made headlines back in 2023

Eric Swalwell leveraged his past sexual relationship with Katie Miller, wife of top Trump official Stephen Miller, to keep potentially embarrassing FBI files behind lock and key, a shocking new report revealed Thursday.
The news that the disgraced former Democratic Congressman from California — who resigned after several women claimed sexual assault and rape — once dated the now-wife of a top conservative leader stunned Washington.
“I was an intern working on Capitol Hill,” Miller posted on X about the situation. Then Katie Waldman worked as both an intern and communications director on Capitol Hill in her 20s before moving to the executive branch in 2017. The relationship with Swalwell was before

EXCLUSIVE — The Transportation Department has proposed a new rule to codify English-language proficiency requirements for American truckers, as Secretary Sean Duffy looks to ensure that current language safety standards last beyond the Trump administration.
Under Duffy, the Trump administration has cracked down on making sure big-rig drivers are proficient in English before they hit the road and have to operate while reading English road signs. The administration’s stricter enforcement ramped up after several high-profile fatal crashes, including one on a Florida interstate, involved non-English proficient truckers driving in violation of nearby English road signs. In April 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring truck drivers to speak English.

A resurfaced clip from a 2020 documentary shows Michigan Democratic Senate primary winner Abdul El-Sayed saying he “hates Mackinac so much” while visiting the island during his 2018 campaign for governor. He lost that bid before aiming to represent the state at the federal level. The footage comes from the documentary “How To Fix A Primary,” which followed El-Sayed’s unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign. In the scene, El-Sayed can be seen walking toward the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan as one of the island's iconic horse-drawn carriages pass by. “I hate Mackinac so much,” El-Sayed says in the video. He then references the island’s being the governor’s official summer residence,

Pin Ni, an auto executive who resides in the United States but appears to still be an active member of the Chinese Communist Party, donated $61,000 to Democratic campaigns in the second quarter of 2026, bringing the total he has given to Democrats this campaign cycle to $450,400.
According to campaign finance disclosures published last month and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, between April 1, 2026, and June 30, 2026, Ni gave $15,000 to the campaign of Illinois lieutenant governor Juliana Stratton, her state's Democratic nominee for Senate; $10,000 to the Illinois Democratic Party's federal account;

The leader of a moderate Democrat group said members are gearing up for a battle with democratic socialists who may try to capture the presidential nomination in 2028, the New York Times (NYT) reported Thursday.
Some Democrats, including Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), have been warning against the rising influence of socialists and communists in the Democrat Party, Breitbart News reported Wednesday.
Indeed, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed beat establishment Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in Tuesday’s primary in Michigan, where “the radical transformation of the Democratic Party is center stage,” Breitbart News said Wednesday:

The Trump administration will require that some prospective immigrants post a bond of up to $250,000 in order to obtain a U.S. visa as part of a new pilot program aimed at ensuring those who seek a new home in America have the financial means to support themselves without taxpayer handouts, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal.
The pilot bond program, which will go into effect Tuesday morning in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, will initially apply to certain immigrants from the Dominican Republic and could expand to other nations in the future. A State Department official confirmed to the Free Beacon that American consular offices in

Hundreds of Haitian immigrants who recently lost Temporary Protected Status (TPS) have been ordered to report to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in the Springfield, Ohio, region. Many of them have left wearing ankle monitors, signaling the beginning of a deportation crackdown for the 350,000 Haitians who are no longer authorized to be in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began sending "call-in" letters to Haitian nationals in late July, shortly after the Haitian TPS program was revoked following a US Supreme Court decision, according to the Haitian Times. TPS for Haitians officially ended on July 27.

Barring some wholly unforeseen development, such as Republicans actually mounting an effective challenge somewhere, the 120th Congress will convene on January 3, 2027 with a record seven Muslim members, six representatives and, for the first time in American history, one senator. And for Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations in the U.S., the future looks bright.
Before 2007, there were no Muslim in the House of Representatives or Senate at all. The seven Muslim legislators who will be sworn in (on the Qur’an, no doubt) in January will include the four representatives in the 119th Congress: Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.); Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.); Andre Carson (D-Ind.), and Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.). Joining them will be

A California man was arrested Sunday at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes after allegedly monitoring security planning activities days before the president’s visit and was later found with a cache of weapons, authorities said. Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, was arrested Sunday after plainclothes federal agents spotted him walking the golf course grounds taking photographs and videos while appearing to monitor security planning activities, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Deputies from the Lomita Sheriff's Station responded around 3:30 p.m. and determined Taele was already under investigation for robbery by the El Segundo Police Department. During a pat-down, deputies allegedly recovered a 16-round magazine loaded
