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. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon granted a preliminary injunction requested by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit organization that filed a lawsuit claiming Trump exceeded his authority when he demolished the East Wing.

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.

Hegseth Says Coming Days Will Be Decisive For Iran, Tehran Threatens U.S. Businesses

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday the next few days in the war against Iran would be decisive and warned Tehran that the conflict would intensify if it did not make a deal. Iran's Revolutionary Guards hit back with a new threat, saying that they will target U.S. companies in the region in retaliation for attacks on Iran from Wednesday, listing 18 groups including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, IBM, Tesla and Boeing. Iran earlier set ablaze a fully loaded oil tanker off Dubai, its latest attack on merchant vessels in the Gulf or in the Strait of Hormuz since the United States and Israel attacked on February 28. U.S. President Donald Trump threatened on Monday to obliterate Iran's energy plants if it does not agree to a peace deal and open the strait, a vital waterway for global oil shipments that has effectively been blocked by Iran. On Tuesday, Trump criticized countries that have not helped in the war, including France and Britain, saying they should find "some delayed courage" to take the strait and get their own oil. France and Italy have pushed back against some U.S.-Israeli military operations, sources said, highlighting how divisions between NATO allies have been exposed by the war. Hegseth, who said he visited U.S. troops in the Middle East on Saturday, said Trump was willing to make a deal and talks were ongoing and gaining strength, but that the U.S. was prepared to continue the war if Iran did not comply. "We have more and more options, and they have less ... in only one month we set the terms, the upcoming days will be decisive," Hegseth said in Washington. "Iran knows that, and there's almost nothing they can militarily do about it." The month-long conflict has spread across the region, killing thousands, disrupting energy supplies and threatening to send the global economy into a tailspin. Crude oil prices briefly spiked again after the attack on the tanker, which can carry around 2 million barrels of oil worth more than $200 million at current prices. Higher oil and fuel prices have also started to weigh on U.S. household finances and are a political headache for Trump and his Republican Party before November midterm elections. The U.S. national average retail price of gasoline crossed $4 a gallon for the first time in over three years on Monday, data from price-tracking service GasBuddy showed. Tight global supplies pushed Brent crude futures up 5.5% to $119 per barrel, on course for a record monthly gain of 64%. The European Union is considering reviving crisis measures it used in 2022 when Russia slashed gas deliveries to address the unfolding disruption to energy markets caused by the war, the bloc's energy chief said on Tuesday. Authorities in Dubai said the fire on the Kuwait-flagged Al-Salmi had been brought under control following a drone attack, with no oil leak and no injuries to the crew. Kuwait Petroleum Corp, the ship's owner, said the vessel's hull was damaged, and photos of the Al-Salmi confirmed this. LSEG data showed the vessel was heading to Qingdao in China, and was carrying 1.2 million barrels of Saudi crude oil and 800,000 barrels of Kuwaiti crude, according to monitoring service TankerTrackers.com. U.S. General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters in Washington that the U.S. was continuing to degrade and destroy Iran's capabilities. He said the U.S. military was continuing to strike key manufacturing and research sites and had taken out over 150 Iranian naval vessels. Hegseth said U.S. strikes were causing widespread desertions in Iran. Thousands of soldiers from the U.S. Army's elite 82nd Airborne Division have started arriving in the Middle East, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Monday, reinforcements that could expand Trump's options to include a ground assault in Iran. With attacks showing no sign of easing, Pakistan is seeking to mediate in the war. The foreign ministers of China and Pakistan on Tuesday called for an immediate ceasefire, urging peace talks to be held as soon as possible after they met in Beijing. Iran has remained defiant despite heavy U.S. and Israeli attacks for the past month. It has received U.S. peace proposals via intermediaries, but its foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday they were "unrealistic, illogical and excessive". The Israeli military said on Tuesday it completed a wave of strikes targeting 20 weapons manufacturing sites and a research and development site in Iran. The war has continued to spread, with Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen entering the war by firing at Israel, and Turkey reporting on Monday that a ballistic missile launched from Iran had entered Turkish airspace before being shot down. The war has also revived conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah, while Iran, which has the highest casualty toll in the war, has fired at targets in Gulf Arab states, where the U.S. has military bases.
