Tulsi Gabbard Moved to Texas But Voted in Hawaii

As Tulsi Gabbard completed her transformation from a Hawaii Democratic politician to a MAGA surrogate last year, she put down stakes in a far redder state. Gabbard and her husband bought a home outside of Austin and declared under oath last June that they were ‘residents of the State of Texas.’
But a few months later, Gabbard voted in the 2024 general election back in Hawaii.

Trump Accidentally Called H.R. McMaster

Just over a month ago, retired Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster received an unexpected call on his personal cell… It was from the White House and he was instructed by the voice on the other end to stand by for the president.
‘Henry…’ is how Trump opened the call before launching into the conversation.
It was then that McMaster knew this familiar voice was indeed Mr. Trump. But he also realized something else: the commander-in-chief had not intended to call him at all.

Mike Johnson Delays Budget Vote As GOP Defectors Balk

Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday was forced to delay a vote on the Republican budget blueprint to unlock President Trump’s domestic agenda, after conservatives balked at a plan that they said would add too much to the nation’s debt.
In a dramatic scene on Capitol Hill that laid bare Republican divisions, Mr. Johnson huddled with the holdouts in a room off the House floor for over an hour before the vote was scheduled to begin, grinding activity in the chamber to a halt as the measure’s fate hung in the balance.
