Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not request more than $137,000 in repairs and upgrades to military housing at Fort McNair that will become his official residence, according to a U.S. official familiar with the work order, who says the Army undertook the repairs on its own since the more than 100-year-old home had sat vacant for a year and needed security upgrades. The cost of the repairs — including almost $50,000 being spent on new paint — came to light in a Jan. 30 notification to Congress from the Army. The notification prompted calls for greater transparency by some Democratic lawmakers who sought answers on why the cost was necessary and whether Hegseth would reimburse the government through rental payments for the military-provided housing, as other senior executive service defense officials are required to do.

Republican strategist Scott Jennings said during a CNN appearance that the Trump administration should ignore federal court rulings that don’t fall in line with the president’s policy objectives, prompting host Abby Phillip to shoot back that his argument was “not connected to the facts.” “If a district court judge tries to usurp the authority of the chief executive of this country, he should absolutely defy it,” Jennings told a panel on Monday‘s CNN NewsNight. “There’s a difference between broa

A $10 million settlement between county officials in Springfield, Illinois, and the family of Sonya Massey is the “first step in getting full justice” for the Black woman fatally shot in her home last summer by a sheriff's deputy, lawyers said Wednesday.

Legislation to curb U.S. investment in China will be reintroduced in Congress, the chair of the House of Representatives' select committee on China said on Tuesday, adding that the bill's failure to pass into law last year was not due to opposition from billionaire Elon Musk. Lawmakers from both parties have criticized large American providers of investment mutual funds that track stock indexes for directing billions of dollars from investors into stocks of Chinese companies that the U.S. believes are facilitating the development of China's military. Some Democratic lawmakers in December accused certain Republicans of protecting Musk's business interests in China by scrapping provisions in a U.S. funding bill that would have prohibited Americans from making such investments in strategic sectors, such as certain AI systems and semiconductors.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said presidents have historically obeyed judicial rulings with a few exceptions as she advocated for the court to move cautiously to maintain a system of checks and balances, but without directly referencing President Donald Trump’s efforts to test the limits of the executive power. “But it’s also because the court has proceeded cautiously, and has proceeded understanding that it has to proceed slowly.” Judges have blocked Trump from moving forward with mass federal resignations and from implementing an executive order that seeks to end birthright citizenship for anyone born in the U.S.
