Trump International Airport.” The suit argues the law improperly usurps local authority over a county-owned facility and creates potential safety hazards within the national aviation system due to the complex integration of airport names and identifiers. Furthermore, the lawsuit questions the feasibility of the renaming, citing unresolved issues regarding trademark rights for the proposed name.

Despite concerns and a new poll indicating that most U.S. voters blame him for the pump price spike, President Donald Trump dismissed claims of significantly high gas prices stemming from the Iran war. He stated that prices were not as elevated as anticipated, considering the war’s objective of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Trump further noted a recent decrease in gas prices, attributing it to a two-week ceasefire that led to a 7-cent per gallon average drop, although overall prices have still risen 49% in 2026.

President Donald Trump has publicly criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of “destroying New York” and advancing “TAX, TAX, TAX Policies.” This sharp break from previous cordial relations signals a political collision course ahead of the 2026 midterms, as Mamdani implements progressive policies like expanding childcare and pursuing zoning changes for housing.

The US president has reiterated his criticism of the United Kingdom’s North Sea oil policy, asserting that wind energy projects are detrimental to the nation’s economy. He advised the UK to increase domestic oil extraction from the North Sea, one of the world’s most significant oil fields, rather than importing from other countries. This stance aligns with his long-held disapproval of wind turbines, including his past efforts to halt developments visible from his golf course. The president also commented on European allies’ perceived lack of support for US military actions, suggesting they have consequently created their own security vulnerabilities.

In a recent podcast, a candidate suggested a program to address the prescription drug epidemic, proposing wellness farms where individuals, including “every Black kid” on psychiatric medication like Adderall, SSRIs, and benzos, could be “re-parented.” This initiative, intended to remove children from environments with screens and cell phones, has drawn criticism for its implication of separating Black children from their families. The candidate’s subsequent denial of making these statements during a congressional hearing, despite clear audio evidence to the contrary, has also raised significant concerns.

The federal judge overseeing the White House ballroom construction has issued a revised order, permitting below-ground work and essential security-related above-ground construction. However, the order specifically prevents above-ground construction that would finalize the size and scale of the controversial ballroom.

The Republican-controlled House narrowly rejected a resolution that would have directed President Donald Trump to end military hostilities against Iran. The vote, largely along party lines, saw 213 Republicans opposing the measure and only one, Rep. Thomas Massie, voting in favor, while one Democrat voted against it. This outcome aligns with Speaker Mike Johnson’s stance, who defended the President’s actions and characterized Iran as a leading sponsor of terrorism. The rejection follows a similar vote in the Senate and occurs amidst public disapproval of the war and rising economic concerns, including increased gas prices, which could impact future votes on war powers.

A new analysis reveals that 88 of the largest U.S. corporations paid no federal corporate income taxes in 2025, despite earning over $105 billion in pretax income. This trend, exacerbated by recent tax cuts, means these profitable companies would have otherwise contributed approximately $22.1 billion to federal income taxes. The report highlights systemic issues within the corporate tax code, with provisions like accelerated depreciation and various tax credits enabling significant avoidance across diverse industries. While the full extent of corporate tax avoidance remains partially obscured due to non-public tax returns, these findings underscore a substantial reduction in tax contributions from major American businesses.
