In a recent appearance on the Katie Miller Podcast - hosted by the wife of Stephen Miller, who currently serves as homeland security advisor to the White House - Kennedy expressed astonishment that the president is even alive. "He eats really bad food," the health secretary dished. "Which is McDonald's, and, you know, candy and Diet Coke. But he drinks Diet Coke at all times. He has the constitution of a deity - I don't know how he's alive, but he is."
At a glance, it might not look like much. The AI-generated image hast an ugly faux-pixel-art sprite of Trump looking like he got hit in the face with a frying pan, his inventory has a bunch of the things you'd expect like a MAGA hat and a cop badge, and he's shown saying, "We're bringing back Whole Milk and Making America Healthy Again." But also, if you look at the gold he's carrying in the screenshot, the number is 45464748.
She was holding up photos of some of the scenes there in Minneapolis and in one she took issue with someone flipping their middle finger off, flipping off ICE agents. Just to be clear, whatever you think of ICE, love them or hate them. Some of the behavior that you're seeing in Minneapolis by people who are opposed to their operation there. Some of it is lawful and some of is unlawful. And flipping them off, that is law full. Flipping the bird is your First Amendment right.
The livestream was hosted by @RealMattMoney, who can be seen in a Bloomberg screenshot - see below - on the White House's "Live News" section sitting at a typical streaming setup, and wearing gaming headphones and a dark gray t-shirt. An overlay shows his stream chat, where viewers praise his analysis. Beneath the video window, the stream's title, displayed in elegant White House font, promises there will be "no mid-stream ads," plus a little descriptor offering a $10 discount if you click a link for "StreamYard."
Anderson said yes, much to Trump Jr.'s relief. When you propose, "You're not sure what the answer's gonna be, it's always a little bit rough," he said before a podium at a White House Christmas event, perhaps inadvertently emphasizing that he is a veteran proposer, having now done this at least three times. (He was previously married to Vanessa Trump, and the two share five children.)
One of the things that I have seen not commented on was back to when the West Wing was built. It used to be on the west side of the White House there were large glass conservatories and stables for a short period of time. Those were all torn down, which allowed the colonnades to the west side and then the building of the West Wing. Nobody's talking about that, but that was just as large a project.
The proposal would've been the largest-ever cut to the program, per an analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. At the time, a spokesman for the Social Security Administration told the paper the agency was working on plans to "propose improvements to the disability adjudication process to ensure our disability program remains current and can be more efficiently administered."
Live TV coverage of the event shows Novo Nordisk executive Gordon Findlay slumping to the floor inside the Oval Office, with several men nearby helping to guide his body safely to the ground. Medicare and Medicaid administrator Mehmet Oz grabbed Findlay under the shoulders to help him to the ground. Trump stands up from behind his desk in the Oval Office, but doesn't intervene. Health secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. can be seen walking briskly away from Findlay.
GameStop started with a mock-up of a statement declaring the console wars over. Sure, that's the kind of thing a company makes for social media when trying to capitalize on something in the news. The store notes that now that the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake is coming to PlayStation 5, there's nothing to fight about anymore, so you can take your Sony Ponies back to the stable and power down your Xbots.
We are creatures of symbols, and our architecture tells us who we are. John Ruskin, the greatest of architectural critics, observed that a nation writes its history in many books, but that the book of its buildings is the most enduring. The faith in order and proportion embodied in the Alhambra, the romance of modernity caught in the Eiffel Tower's lattice of iron-these are not ideas imposed on buildings but ideals that the buildings themselves express, more lastingly than words can.
The White House website has a timeline of "Major Events" that now includes several scandals - some real, some imagined by the right - likely as a way to justify the president's destruction of the East Wing this week. These scandals include former President Bill Clinton's affair, former President Barack Obama's supposed ties to Muslim terrorism (which was not a real story), Hunter Biden's drug use, and former President Joe Biden's support for trans rights.
Crews are demolishing the East Wing of the White House to make way for the construction of President Trump's $300 million, 90,000 square-foot ballroom, despite outcry from historical preservation groups and a lack of federal approval. The Trump administration dismissed widespread criticism as "manufactured outrage" in a fact sheet released Tuesday, which outlines the various renovations that presidents have made to the property over the last century and suggests this one is no different.
A Secret Service SUV caught fire on Monday morning just a couple of blocks away from the White House. Black smoke was seen emanating from the vehicle as it sat at the intersection of 18th St. NW and Pennsylvania Ave, less than half a mile away from the White House, just ahead of President Donald Trump's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
US President Donald Trump has welcomed the new Irish Embassy to the neighbourhood, as Tánaiste Simon Harris officially opened the new location on Pennsylvania Avenue.
I have seen no reporting that there was pressure from the White House on Jimmy Kimmel, McEnany said. There were public comments made by [FCC Chair Brendan] Carr, but no indication that there was a discussion with Sinclair or the like, but that would be lost upon much of the media.
