House Republicans advance plan for Trump's legislative agenda in dramatic turnaround

Mike Johnson– The House voted 217-215 to advance the GOP plan for President Donald Trump's legislative agenda Tuesday, after an all-day whip effort convinced a few Republican holdouts to come on board in a dramatic last-minute turnaround.

It was the first major test of the House Republican conference, which seeks to pass Trump's priorities for border, energy and taxes through one of the narrowest legislative margins in modern American history, and a gauntlet for House Speaker Mike Johnson as he sought to keep his members united.

Trump had endorsed the House's plan to roll all of his campaign promises into one "big, beautiful bill," and it was on Johnson to deliver the votes necessary to unlock the process to pass it.

Johnson could only lose one Republican vote and still succeed. After nearly two hours on the House floor whipping votes, Johnson appeared to have failed and canceled the vote before abruptly calling members back to the chamber. The proposal passed around 8:25 p.m.

Trump floats $5 million ‘gold card’ as a route to U.S. citizenship

Trump to give $5m gold card

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday floated the idea of replacing a visa program for foreign investors with a so-called “gold card” that could be bought for $5 million as a route to American citizenship.

Trump told reporters he will replace the “EB-5” immigrant investor visa program, which allows foreign investors of large sums of money that create or preserve U.S. jobs to become permanent residents, with a so-called “gold card.”

The EB-5 program grants “green cards” to foreigners promising to invest in U.S. businesses.

“We are going to be selling a gold card,” Trump said. “We are going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million,” he added.

“It’s going to give you green card privileges plus its going to be a route to (American) citizenship, and wealthy people would be coming into our country by buying this card,” Trump said, adding that details about the scheme will come out in two weeks.

Judge Blocks Trump's 'Irrational,' 'Ill-Conceived' Freeze On Federal Spending

Judge AliKhanA federal judge in Washington, D.C., granted a preliminary injunction Tuesday against the Trump administration aimed at stopping the sweeping freeze to federal disbursements that has sown anger and anxiety across the country in the last month.

The National Council of Nonprofits and a collection of other groups sued the Office of Management and Budget in late January after the agency’s acting director at the time, Matthew Vaeth, issued a memo calling for a widespread pause on the flow of federal funds until the Trump administration could ensure the spending aligns with its priorities.

Republicans Downplay Medicaid Cuts Amid Town Hall Voter Backlash

Mike JohnsonRepublicans are feeling the sting of voter anger at recent town hall meetings where lawmakers’ constituents complained about Elon Musk slashing the government and the House GOP’s plan to cut Medicaid.

At their first press conference back in the Capitol after a weeklong recess, House Republican leaders dubiously insisted that their budget resolution won’t touch Medicaid and that the town hall attendees lacked a legitimate grievance.

“Videos of protesters yelling at members of Congress went viral, right? But the content focused on the confrontation, not the why. Some of the people that hijacked those town halls are happy with the bloated status quo,” said Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.).

Federal judge blocks Trump’s refugee pause

Refugee program reunited father and childA federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s effort to suspend the U.S. refugee program.

The ruling came in a challenge filed by several refugee resettlement organizations whose lawsuit earlier this month argued that President Donald Trump's indefinite suspension of the U.S. refugee program was unlawful and causing irreparable harm.

While a president has substantial authority over the program, that authority "is not limitless," U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead in Washington State said during a court hearing on Tuesday, according to Reuters.

"I cannot ignore Congress's detailed framework for refugee admissions and the limits it places on the president's ability to suspend the same," he said, ruling that a preliminary injunction was warranted given the likelihood of "irreparable harms, including refugees stranded after selling their possessions, agencies laying off hundreds of staff, and family reunifications suspended indefinitely."

Peace must not mean surrendering Ukraine, Macron says alongside Trump

Macron interrupts TrumpFrench President Emmanuel Macron said any peace deal in Ukraine must come with security guarantees, as he met US President Donald Trump at the White House for talks on the war.

"This peace must not be a surrender of Ukraine, it must not mean a ceasefire without guarantees," he said as the two leaders held a joint news conference following their meeting on Monday.

Trump, who did not mention security guarantees himself, said the cost and burden of securing peace in Ukraine must be paid for by European nations and not just the US.

Macron responded that Europe understood the need to "more fairly share the security burden", and added that talks on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion had shown a path forward.

More than 200,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship

Canadians petition to end Musk Citizenship

More than 200,000 people from Canada have signed a parliamentary petition calling for their country to strip Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship because of the tech billionaire’s alliance with Donald Trump, who has spent his second US presidency repeatedly threatening to conquer its independent neighbor to the north and turn it into its 51st state.

The British Columbia author Qualia Reed launched the petition in Canada’s House of Commons, where it was sponsored by the New Democrat parliamentary member and avowed Musk critic Charlie Angus, as the Canadian Press first reported over the weekend.

Born in South Africa and owning US companies including the electric vehicle-maker Tesla, aerospace company SpaceX and the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk has Canadian citizenship through his mother: model and dietitian Maye Musk, who is from Saskatchewan’s capital, Regina. He has been crusading to slash the US federal government’s size at the behest of the US president, who has consistently challenged Canada’s sovereignty since returning to the White House for a second presidential term on 20 January.

40,000 fleing West Bank will not be allowed to return home

Israel has sent tanks to the West Bank city of Jenin, in the first deployment of its kind in the area in more than two decades, as troops intensify operations in the territory that officials said will last at least a year.

The Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, said on Sunday that the latest operation across the West Bank was expanding, and that troops would remain in the area’s urban hotspots “for the coming year”, meaning approximately 40,000 people displaced by the fighting will not be able to return to their homes.
