Trump Signs Executive Order To Tighten Voting Rules

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at tightening voting rules nationwide. The order calls for creating a national list of eligible voters and limiting mail-in ballots. It directs federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, to work with states on voter data and seeks to stop the Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to people not on approved lists. The order also calls for barcodes on ballot envelopes and threatens to withhold federal funding from states that do not comply. Democratic officials in several states, including Oregon, Arizona, and Maine, have already promised legal challenges, while legal experts question whether the order is constitutional.

Trump Responds After Judge Blocks White House Ballroom Construction

A U.S. judge has ruled that President Trump cannot continue construction on his planned $400 million ballroom at the White House without congressional approval.

Trump says war could be coming to an end soon

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. could end its military campaign against Iran within two to three weeks. Trump emphasized that recent operations have significantly disrupted Iran’s missile-making capabilities. “We're hitting them very hard. Last night we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities, as you probably read or wrote,” he said. “We'll hit bridges and we've hit some, we'll hit some bridges, and we've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. But if they come to the table, that'll be good. But it doesn't matter whether they come or not, we've set them back. It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them.” Addressing rising gas prices, Trump said, “We're at $4, yeah. And we have a country that's not going to be throwing a nuclear weapon at us in six months.” When asked about Americans feeling the effects of higher fuel costs, he added, “And they're also feeling a lot safer.” Trump described the potential de-escalation as his clearest signal yet that the month-long conflict, which has reshaped the Middle East and disrupted global energy markets, could soon come to an end. “I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three… All I have to do is leave Iran and we'll be doing that very soon, and they will come tumbling down,” he said.

Army Suspends Helicopter Aircrew That Flew Near Kid Rock's House

The U.S. Army has suspended the aircrew of two Apache attack helicopters that flew near the house of singer Kid Rock, seemingly in support of the vocal backer of U.S. President Donald Trump, a U.S. official said on Tuesday. Over the weekend, Rock posted a video on X showing two Army Apache helicopters flying next to his house in Nashville, Tennessee. The singer, standing in front of his swimming pool, can be seen saluting one of the helicopters. Military helicopters were also seen flying close to demonstrators in the city, who were taking part in organized protests decrying Trump's aggressive deportation efforts, war in Iran and other policies. The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not provide further details on the suspension. Reuters reported on Monday that the Army was investigating the incident and an Army spokesman declined further comment when contacted by Reuters on Tuesday. "Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations. An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements," U.S. Army spokesperson Major Montrell Russell said on Monday. "Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found. Until the review is complete, there will be no further comment," Russell added. The U.S. military is supposed to be apolitical, loyal to the U.S. Constitution and independent of any party or political movement. Since being sworn in last year, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has moved quickly to reshape the military, firing top generals and admirals as he seeks to implement Trump's national security agenda and root out diversity initiatives he calls discriminatory. Democratic lawmakers have warned the Trump administration is increasingly trying to use the military for political gain. In his post about the helicopters, Rock took a swipe at Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, adding: "God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her." Over the weekend, as part of the anti-Trump "No Kings" protests, more than 3,200 events were planned in ?all 50 states. Two previous nationwide events attracted millions of participants. Local news said thousands took part in the weekend's protests in Nashville.

Judge orders Trump administration to halt White House ballroom construction

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to suspend construction of a $400 million ballroom after it demolished the East Wing of the White House. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in Washington granted a preservationist group’s request for a preliminary injunction that temporarily halts President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project. Leon wrote that the president is a steward of the White House, not its owner. The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to obtain an order pausing the ballroom project until it undergoes multiple independent reviews and receives congressional approval.

Wisconsin Judicial Panel Dismisses Democratic Attempt To Redraw Congressional Maps

A three-judge panel in Wisconsin on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit brought by Democratic voters that sought to redraw the battleground state's Republican-friendly congressional boundary lines ahead of the November midterm election. The decision can be appealed to the liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court, but it's unclear whether it could rule in time to affect the election this year. There is a second lawsuit pending that also seeks to redraw the state's congressional districts, but it isn't slated to go to trial until April 2027. Both lawsuits were filed as President Donald Trump wages a national redistricting battle in an effort to preserve the Republicans' slim House majority in November. The three-judge panel said in its ruling that it has “no basis to find the current congressional map invalid.” The case must be dismissed, the judges said, because only the Wisconsin Supreme Court can determine whether the maps should be redrawn. But in dismissing the lawsuit, the panel made clear that it was “not endorsing the current congressional map.” “Rather, we, as circuit court judges, do not have the authority to read into a Wisconsin Supreme Court case an analysis that it does not contain,” the judges ruled. Republicans praised the ruling. “This is a significant win for Republicans and a yet another blow to desperate Democrats who wanted to reshape the electoral landscape,” said Zach Bannon, spokesperson for the National Republican Congressional Committee. “By keeping Wisconsin’s current district lines in place for 2026, Republicans are in a strong position to build on our momentum to retain and grow our House majority.” The Wisconsin Supreme Court in November ordered that the redistricting cases be first heard by the three-judge panel over objections from Republicans. It marked the first time that process has been used under a 2011 law enacted by Republicans. The lawsuit that was dismissed argued that the current maps discriminate against Democrats. They do so by packing a substantial number of Democrats into two districts while breaking up other Democratic areas into six Republican-favorable districts, the lawsuit argued. In 2010, the year before Republicans redrew the congressional maps, Democrats held five seats compared with three for Republicans. Republicans hold six of the state’s eight House seats, but only two are considered competitive. The current congressional maps, which were based on the ones drawn in 2010, were approved by the state Supreme Court when it was controlled by conservative judges. The U.S. Supreme Court in March 2022 declined to block the maps from taking effect. A top target for Democrats is the western Wisconsin seat held by Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden, a vocal Trump supporter. He won in 2022 after longtime Democratic Rep. Ron Kind retired. Van Orden won reelection in the 3rd District in 2024. The other seat Democrats hope to make more competitive is southeastern Wisconsin’s 1st District, which Republican Rep. Bryan Steil has held since 2019. The latest maps made that district more competitive while still favoring Republicans. The lawsuit scheduled to go to trial next year was brought by a bipartisan coalition of business leaders. There is also a pending motion to dismiss that case. The Wisconsin Business Leaders for Democracy argues in its lawsuit that Wisconsin’s congressional maps are unconstitutional because they are an anti-competitive gerrymander. The lawsuit notes that the median margin of victory for candidates in the eight districts since the maps were enacted is close to 30 percentage points.
