The Supreme Court dealt Democrats a double blow Thursday, ruling 6-3 in two major cases that greenlight the Trump administration's most aggressive border policies yet. In Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the Court ruled migrants must physically set foot on U.S. soil to claim asylum — effectively letting Border Patrol turn people away at ports of entry. In Mullin v. Doe, the Court cleared the administration to strip Temporary Protected Status from **Haitian and Syrian...
President Trump has turned Washington into a hostage negotiation — and the ransom is the SAVE America Act. After both chambers passed a landmark bipartisan housing affordability bill by veto-proof margins, Trump canceled the signing ceremony Wednesday, demanding Senate Republicans first deliver his voter ID legislation. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) answered by freezing the House floor, vowing no votes move "as long as it takes" until SAVE passes. Speaker **Mike...
The Supreme Court handed President Trump two major 6-3 immigration victories Thursday, both authored by Justice Samuel Alito. In Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the court upheld "metering" — a policy allowing Border Patrol to turn back asylum seekers before they physically cross into the U.S. "An alien 'arrives in the United States' only when he crosses the border," Alito wrote. In Mullin v. Doe, the court cleared the way to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS)...
With the signing stage already set up in the Capitol and stakeholders arriving, President Trump flipped the table. He announced on Truth Social that the ceremony for the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act — which passed the Senate 85–5 and the House 358–32 in rare bipartisan harmony — was "hereby cancelled" until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, a proof-of-citizenship voting bill he branded a "National Emergency."

Two federal rulings in as many days have left the Trump administration's immigration enforcement playing both offense and defense. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals handed the White House a major win Monday, voting 2-1 to revive nationwide expedited removal — allowing DHS to fast-track deportations of migrants found anywhere in the U.S. who cannot prove two years of continuous residence. Judge Justin Walker...
Congress has pushed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act across the finish line — the most sweeping federal housing legislation in decades — sending it to President Trump's desk for signature Wednesday after a rare bipartisan coalition shrugged off a last-minute conservative revolt. The House voted 358-32 Tuesday, one day after the Senate cleared it 85-5. Every Democrat present voted yes; all opposition came from Republicans. The bill targets America's...
The Department of Homeland Security proposed a rule Monday that would raise the cost of U.S. citizenship by as much as 80 percent. Under the plan, online naturalization applications would jump from $710 to $1,280, and paper filings from $760 to $1,330. Appeals for denied applications would climb from $830 to $1,475 by paper. The rule would also scrap fee waivers and the reduced-fee option for applicants earning 150 to 200 percent of the federal...
If you've been priced out of buying a home or watch your rent climb every lease renewal, Congress just sent a signal. The Senate voted 85-5 Monday to pass the 21st Century Road to Housing Act — a rare bipartisan mega-bill that pairs housing relief with a ban on the Federal Reserve creating a central bank digital currency through 2030.
The Trump administration is simultaneously touting record deportation numbers and staring down a wall — literally — that it cannot seem to finish. DHS announced that deportation flights have hit an all-time high, with nearly 900,000 people removed since January 2025, and 296 flights in May alone — more than double the pace of the administration's first full month. Acting ICE Director David Venturella...
New York's congressional candidates spent Monday making closing arguments ahead of Tuesday's primary elections — and the story is simple: incumbents are running scared. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has endorsed a trio of progressive challengers, including community organizer Darializa Avila Chevalier taking on Rep. Adriano Espaillat in upper Manhattan and the Bronx, and Assemblymember Claire Valdez vying for Rep. Nydia Velazquez's open Brooklyn seat against...
Vice President JD Vance landed in Switzerland on Sunday for a new round of nuclear negotiations with Iran, but the political battle is already raging back home — and it's not Democrats causing the headaches. It's fellow Republicans.
The 14-point MOU signed between Trump and Iran has Senate hawks — led by Intelligence Chair Tom Cotton (R-AR) — in an awkward squeeze. Cotton made his name lambasting Obama's Iran...
President Trump told Axios this week there are "no limits" to his power after the Iran war, declaring he "hasn't learned that lesson yet" about constitutional constraints. The interview came as he returned from signing an Iran memorandum of understanding that he framed as an unconditional victory — even as Republican Senator Bill Cassidy called it "the worst foreign policy blunder in decades."
Behind closed doors, the Trump-GOP alliance is fraying at...
