[b]Re Downed Apace Helicopter: In a phone call Tuesday morning with The Wall Street Journal, [Trump] played down the incident—repeatedly saying that it “wasn’t a big deal”—and stressed that the pilots weren’t seriously injured.[/b]
“He changed his mind after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine recommended military action during a briefing at the White House, the officials said. Hegseth and Caine provided Trump with updated information about the Iranian Shahed drone that struck the U.S. helicopter. When asked for comment, the Pentagon said in a statement that it didn’t discuss internal deliberations involving the president and his military advisers.  
The Apache was likely hit by the drone off the coast of Oman while it was patrolling the area, U.S. officials said.”

[b]L.O.S.E.R.: How many times has Trump claimed an Iran deal is around the corner? A: 38 times.[/b]
“It’s been more than two months since President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran, saying at the time that the two sides were close to a deal.
Trump said on social media on April 7 that they were “very far along” but needed two weeks for “the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.” He concluded by saying that “it is an Honor to have this Longterm problem close to resolution.”
…
Including the period before the ceasefire, he’s done it at least 38 times. That’s the number of times he’s said directly — in social media posts, public appearances and phone calls with the media — that a deal was nigh or claimed Iran was desperate to cut one.”

[b]Senate GOP support erodes for Trump’s Iran war stance.[/b]
“President Trump is facing growing pushback from Senate Republicans over his handling of the military conflict with Iran, leaving Democrats believing they are on the verge of having enough votes to pass a war powers resolution directing the president to withdraw U.S. forces.
Four Republican senators have voted to discharge the war powers resolution from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Democrats believe they are very close to finding a fifth.”

[b]A bombshell excerpt from an upcoming book details how President Donald Trump’s team miscommunicated, clashed with one another and fumbled over how best to respond to the Jeffrey Epstein case “to a far greater extent than the public knew.”[/b]
“An extract from an upcoming book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, titled Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, sheds new light on how the president’s most senior officials responded behind closed doors to the crisis that plagued the administration for the best part of a year.
In it, the authors claim how then-Attorney General Pam Bondi’s “egregious misstep” to hand out Epstein files binders to MAGA influencers sent the blood pressure of White House aides “skyrocketing;” how a high-stakes crisis meeting in the Situation Room saw Vice President JD Vance “panicked” over the scandal’s potential to divide the MAGA base; and how the bunker was also the setting of a furious blow up between Bondi and then-FBI deputy director Dan Bongino.”

[b]‘Epstein Memorial Reading Room’ moving to downtown DC.[/b]
“A reading room that features millions of pages related to federal investigations into the late disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein is coming to the nation’s capital.
The Institute for Primary Facts announced this week that the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room will move from its New York location to D.C.’s Chinatown neighborhood “in time for President Trump’s birthday.”

[b]Trump sees 22 medical specialists, appearing to set new bar for presidents.[/b]
For George H.W. Bush’s first medical checkup as president in 1989, he was seen by five specialists, the White House said at the time. His son George W. Bush was seen by 12 in his first presidential checkup, White House officials said a dozen years later.
President Donald Trump appears to have set a new bar: 22 medical specialists assessed him as part of his latest checkup, according to a medical report recently released by the White House.
That figure is nearly double the number of specialists who assessed Trump for his past medical checkups as president, according to a review of publicly available statements by Trump’s doctors.

[b]House rejects last-minute extension for key FISA spy power amid Bill Pulte uproar.[/b]

[b]Trump’s SAVE Act Plan for Midterms Is Slipping Away.[/b]
“President Donald Trump’s push to pass sweeping election legislation ahead of the 2026 midterms has stalled in the Senate, with Republicans now openly acknowledging that the votes needed to advance the bill are not there.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said this week that Republicans “don’t have the votes” to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and photo ID to cast ballots, and that "it's not something we can get done absent having an election and electing more Republicans."

“Attorneys for musician Chuck Redd say a D.C. Superior Court judge dismissed a breach of contract lawsuit filed against Redd after he canceled a Christmas Eve performance at the Kennedy Center in protest of President Donald Trump's influence over the venue.
The dismissal on Friday was granted under Washington's Anti-SLAPP laws , which are designed to prevent meritless lawsuits intended to silence opposing points of view on matters of public interest. ”

“American doctors want their leading lobby to drop its nice guy routine with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
…
At the American Medical Association’s annual meeting this week, members of the group’s House of Delegates are sending a clear message to their leaders: Call out Kennedy, even if it costs us in the pocketbook.
That message was stated most clearly in the election of Sandra Fryhofer, an internist from Atlanta and uncompromising Kennedy critic, as AMA president-elect. She beat Michael Suk, who as AMA board chair in 2024 and 2025 prioritized doctors’ Medicare fees and promised continued pragmatism in dealing with Kennedy.”

“A federal lawsuit has been filed on Saturday to halt an upcoming Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event scheduled to take place on the White House grounds. The plaintiffs argue that the unprecedented event—timed to coincide with President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday and part of the celebration of the nation's 250th anniversary—violates federal law and improperly commercializes public land.
“This is fundamentally a private, commercial, corrupt use of our most sacred national monuments for private gain,” Brendan Ballou, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, told the Associated Press. “And that is what is motivating this lawsuit.”

[b]Trump Admin Hit With Lawsuit in Utah Over Immigrant Detention Warehouse.[/b]
“Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County have filed a federal lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from converting a massive warehouse into an immigrant detention center.
The move comes as the facility—designed to hold up to 10,000 people—was purchased without environmental review or local consultation, according to the complaint. The case could determine whether the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can continue rolling out similar “mega centers” nationwide or must halt the initiative entirely.”
