Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought will testify before the Senate Budget Committee on Thursday morning on President Trump’s fiscal 2027 White House budget request. The request calls for $1.5 trillion in defense spending — roughly 42 percent higher than 2026 — and proposes cutting non-defense spending by $73 billion. The funding cuts, according to the memo, impact “woke, weaponized, and wasteful programs,” and would return some state and local responsibilities “to their respective governments.” The OMB director faced questions from the House a day earlier, during which Vought sparred with Democrats over the proposed spending cuts.
Former Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Justin Fairfax shot and killed his wife, Cerina Fairfax, and then himself, in a murder-suicide, according to local police. The shooting stemmed from an ongoing domestic dispute surrounding “what seems to be a complicated or messy divorce,” according to the Fairfax County police chief Kevin Davis. Fairfax, 47, served as lieutenant governor from 2018-22 under former Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D). During his time in office, two women accused Fairfax of sexual assault — but he was not found guilty and denied wrongdoing. #justinfairfax #crime #virginia
