AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - New Mexico Democrat voted against no tax on tips, then championed the same policy weeks later

Rep. Gabriel Vasquez opposed the Big Beautiful Bill's no-tax-on-tips provision in July, then told local outlets a month later that tipped workers "deserve to take home more of their hard-earned pay." Vasquez, a Democrat representing a competitive New Mexico district, cast his vote against the sweeping tax package that President Trump signed into law on […] The post New Mexico Democrat voted against no tax on tips, then championed the same policy weeks later appeared first on American Almanac .

Rep. Gabriel Vasquez opposed the Big Beautiful Bill's no-tax-on-tips provision in July, then told local outlets a month later that tipped workers "deserve to take home more of their hard-earned pay." Vasquez, a Democrat representing a competitive New Mexico district, cast his vote against the sweeping tax package that President Trump signed into law on July 4. Every House Democrat joined him in opposing it. By August, Vasquez was publicly calling for a permanent, expanded version of the very policy he had just helped try to block, a pivot that hands Republicans a ready-made attack line heading into a tight general election. The contradiction is straightforward. The Big Beautiful Bill included a no-tax-on-tips provision alongside Medicaid…Open

Days after the House Ways and Means Committee subpoenaed BreakThrough News over its ties to a Shanghai-based tech entrepreneur's funding network, the outlet mounted a public defense on Democracy Now!, a program whose own IRS filings show $2.5 million in payments to a company that same entrepreneur founded. BreakThrough News presenter Rania Khalek went on Democracy Now! to frame the congressional subpoena as a politically motivated assault on journalism, comparing the probe to McCarthyism and warning host Amy Goodman that her program could be next. What Khalek did not address during the interview were the committee's actual stated concerns: the financing arrangements and organizational structure behind roughly $39 million that investigators…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Legal experts say National Trust faces uphill standing fight at Supreme Court over White House ballroom

Legal analysts say the National Trust for Historic Preservation will struggle to prove it has legal standing to block President Trump's White House ballroom, a weakness that could let the Supreme Court end the case without ever ruling on the construction itself.

Legal analysts say the National Trust for Historic Preservation will struggle to prove it has legal standing to block President Trump's White House ballroom, a weakness that could let the Supreme Court end the case without ever ruling on the construction itself. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's preliminary injunction in a 2-1 decision, ruling that the Trump administration cannot proceed with above-ground construction of the ballroom without Congressional authorization. The court stayed its own ruling for 14 days, giving the administration a window to appeal to the Supreme Court, a step Trump vowed to take in a social media post shortly after the decision came down. But two legal experts who spoke to Fox News Digital…Open

How did Judge Neomi Rao dissent from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decision?
Judge Neomi Rao issued a lone dissent, arguing that the district court incorrectly prioritized the "aesthetic displeasure of a single passerby" over the government's security interests and the risks associated with leaving an open construction site at the President's residence and office.
Q&A ID 39ccf5b7-3317-47cf-91bc-84baee778959
What legal argument does the White House administration use to justify the construction of the ballroom?
The White House's legal position is that existing law already grants the president the authority to make alterations and improvements to federal property, including the White House, similar to how a homeowner might make improvements to a house.
Q&A ID cad348b6-6f0c-4814-96a4-e28db2ee0cd8
What are the specific details regarding the scale and cost of the proposed White House ballroom project?
The proposed ballroom is a 90,000 square foot project intended for the site of the demolished White House East Wing. While the administration originally requested $1 billion, the project's cost has been reported at $400 million, which is double the initial projections.
Q&A ID dbcb999e-e463-49d1-9729-7cd599f3e6de
What was the ruling of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the construction of the White House ballroom?
In a 2-1 decision, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's preliminary injunction, ruling that the Trump administration cannot proceed with above-ground construction of the ballroom without receiving Congressional authorization. The court stayed its own ruling for 14 days to allow the administration to appeal to the Supreme Court.
