Republican Texas Rep. Brian Babin and a group of House Republicans sent a letter Tuesday to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), slamming them over a recent announcement that Lebanese nationals inside the U.S. will now be eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work authorization due to war in the Middle East. The Daily [...]

The letter comes as Vice President Kamala Harris is criticizing former President Donald Trump for a lack of transparency about his health.

Vice President Kamala Harris argued this weekend that former President Donald Trump is "hiding" from public appearances and attempted to goad him into releasing updated records about his health after she did so herself Saturday.

A Trump spokesperson said Trump has voluntarily released updates from his personal physician and that all have concluded that he is in excellent health.

Some House Republicans are mulling legislation to move the Secret Service out of the Department of Homeland Security after two attempts on former President Trump's life in two months.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is not ruling out kicking certain House Republicans off of committees if Democrats retake the House majority.Why it matters: It's something the Democratic leader hinted at after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) appointed Reps. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) and Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) to the House Intelligence Committee."To be continued," Jeffries replied cryptically when asked during a press conference Thursday whether he would kick Perry and Jackson off the Intelligence panel and whether Democrats may exclude other Republicans from committees. Johnson's appointment of Perry and Jackson to Intel prompted bipartisan backlash due to the FBI's seizure of Perry's phone and allegations of workplace misconduct against Jackson from his time as White House physician.The intrigue: One senior House Democrat told Axios they expect Jeffries to — at a minimum — boot Jackson and Perry from the Intelligence panel.In June, Jeffries called the picks "frightening" and said, "If the American people give us the opportunity to govern with the gavels in November, we can assure you that a different decision would be made."As speaker, Jeffries would have the ability to unilaterally reject any Republican picks for the Intelligence Committee.Zoom out: Any move to kick Republicans off committees would be a continuation of a tit for tat that has roiled the last two congressional terms.The Democratic-led House voted in 2021 to strip all committee assignments from Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.).When Republicans took control in 2023, then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) booted Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) from Intel, with the House also voting to kick Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) off the Foreign Affairs Committee.Yes, but: Some Democrats, while infuriated at the bomb throwers on their committees, would prefer to pump the breaks on the back-and-forth dynamic.House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) lamented Greene's chaotic influence on his panel in an interview with Axios, but said he is "not interested in" kicking her off."Republicans kind of set a lower precedent, lower bar this Congress," Raskin argued. "I'm hoping we can elevate the quality of our political discourse a little bit."

When someone in Trump's rally crowd called for 'prayers' for a woman being carried out, the former president twisted it into a bizarre point on religion being 'shut down'.

Among the 35 Trump speeches I covered, this one stood out before it began.

A federal judge said that Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy has not been officially dismissed because the former New York City mayor has refused to pay administrative expenses — even though he seems to have the funds to do so.In July, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane said he would dismiss the bankruptcy case at the request of Giuliani and two former Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Giuliani had initially declared bankruptcy after a court ordered him to pay Freeman and Moss $148 million for defamation.In a five-page order on Thursday, Lane noted that the order to dismiss the case had not been entered into the court record because Giuliani claimed he could not afford to pay related administrative expenses."The administrative expenses in question are the fees for the financial advisors retained by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors," the judge's Thursday order said. "What little we know about the Debtor's financial situation makes his stance here more troubling.""Even assuming that the Debtor does not have the funds on hand to immediately pay these bankruptcy expenses, he certainly has considerable assets upon which he can draw to pay such expenses," Lane continued. "It is undisputed that he owns two apartments of considerable value."Giuliani's New York apartment was said to be worth $5.6 million, and his Florida apartment was valued at approximately $3.5 million.EXCLUSIVE: Trump ‘secretary of retribution’ won't discuss his ‘target list’ at RNCLane explained that the "most obvious path forward" would be to hold hearings to determine Giuliani's financial conditions and possibly force him to testify."[T]here may come a point when dismissal is no longer an option because the Debtor is unwilling to pay these administrative expenses, a necessary requirement under the law for dismissal of the case," Thursday's order said. "Under such circumstances, the Court may be forced to reevaluate the alternative of a Chapter 11 trustee to supervise the administration of the Debtor's financial affairs and to promptly liquidate assets such as the New York apartment as appropriate."Lane gave Giuliani and his creditors until July 31 to submit proposals for a path forward.

House Speaker Mike Johnson pushed back against FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony to Congress that Donald Trump may not have been hit directly with a bullet during the attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania.

The gunman in the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is believed to have flown a drone around the Pennsylvania rally site ahead of time.

The letter, written by Ronny Jackson who is now a member of Congress, says Trump didn’t need stitches but “there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing.”

The Trump campaign on Saturday shared new details on the former president's health, one week after a shooter opened fire at a rally in Pennsylvania and struck Trump's right ear.Why it matters: The memo from Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), Trump's former White House physician, is the most detailed update yet on the former president's injury — and emphasizes how close he was to being killed. Driving the news: Jackson, in the written memo shared by the campaign, said the bullet came "less than a quarter of an inch from entering [Trump's] head, and struck the top of his right ear.""The bullet track produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear," Jackson wrote."There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear," he said. Jackson, who wrote that he's treated Trump daily since last weekend, said the swelling has "resolved" since then and that "the wound is beginning to granulate and heal properly."The big picture: The health update comes the same day Trump took the stage for his first campaign rally since the shooting, which left one attendee dead and others injured.Trump's first public event came earlier this week, though, when he delivered a lengthy speech at the Republican National Convention in Wisconsin. He wore a white dressing on his ear every night of the RNC, which many attendees imitated to show support. "Based on the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place," Jackson said Saturday. "Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required."Zoom in: Jackson said Trump was first treated at Butler Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania, where medical staff "provided a thorough evaluation for additional injuries that included a CT of his head.""He will have further evaluations, including a comprehensive hearing exam, as needed," Jackson wrote. "He will follow up with his primary care physician, as directed by the doctors that initially evaluated him.""In summary, former President Trump is doing well, and he is recovering as expected."Jackson said he was traveling to Michigan to be with Trump for the rally Saturday and provide medical assistance as needed.Go deeper: Pentagon watchdog finds Ronny Jackson drank on duty and harassed staff — report
