House Iran Resolution. The House passed an Iran war powers resolution, directing Trump to end hostilities with Iran. This action challenges Trump and is described as a bipartisan rebuke to the President. The resolution aims to halt military action against Iran for the first time.

Federal Worker Protections. Trump signed an Executive Order removing job protections from federal workers. This move formalizes the shift of career federal workers into 'at will' roles. Approximately 8,000 federal workers are affected by this change.

Anti-Weaponization Fund. Trump stated he does not know if the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund is dead or paused. He indicated he would "have to ask the lawyers" regarding its status. Despite the uncertainty, Trump affirmed he is "still in favor" of the fund, which is also referred to as a $1.8 billion payout fund.

Supreme Court Redistricting. The Supreme Court issued a ruling in Alabama, signaling a limited role for federal courts in redistricting fights. This decision could impact future legal challenges related to electoral maps.
