And as for “Melania”? Despite many expecting for the movie to flop, the truth is it’s done pretty well. Taking upward of $7 million on an opening weekend is quite a feat for a documentary ... or at least it would be, if it wasn’t for the unprecedented size of the budget, the jaw-dropping extent of the rollout and the $35 million PR campaign. Still — lots of MAGA fans are queuing up to see it.
Ridiculous text on the front of hud.gov: The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people.

On September 4, at 3:53 pm, counsel for Defendants contacted Plaintiffs’ counsel by email requesting consent to a one-day extension of time. In response, Plaintiffs’ counsel stated that “We are inclined to consent to your extension request, premised on a commensurate extension for the replies to preserve our allotted time. We have become concerned, however, about reports that the administration may be planning events mirroring those of last weekend but targeting other unaccompanied children. We are hoping to avoid the necessity of another quick-turn weekend TRO. We believe the briefing schedule would, at minimum, need to be adjusted were such events to unfold. We request that you confirm that your clients do not plan to imminently seek to deport or repatriate unaccompanied children, of other-than Guatemalan nationality, in the custody of ORR during the pendency of the weekend. With that modest agreement in place, we will agree to your request.” Defendants refused to consent to that modest request.

STATUS REPORT AND RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Defendants hereby provide notice that all of the class members that were on planes today have been deplaned and are in the process of being returned to ORR custody. Defendants will provide an additional update once that transfer to ORR custody has been completed and confirmed, which Defendants expect will occur today. Because Defendants had not yet entered an appearance, they had not received notice of this Court’s order requiring a status report by 4:00pm and thus were not aware of it. Defendants have now entered an appearance and will respond to any additional court orders. Respectfully submitted this August 31, 2025.
While signing executive orders at the White House on Aug. 25, President Donald Trump wrongly said that an 11-day span of no homicides in Washington, D.C., was the “first time that’s taken place in years,” a claim reiterated by other members of the administration who credited Trump’s federal takeover of the district’s law enforcement. An 11-day stretch with zero murders is rare in the city, but there was a 16-day period with no murders earlier this year, from Feb. 25 to March 12, according to Metropolitan Police Department data.

EPSTEIN SAGA LATEST: Even halfway around the world, Trump hasn’t escaped questions about the Jeffrey Epstein drama that has consumed Washington in recent weeks. Asked at his Scotland presser about an incident where Trump reportedly threw the late financier out of Mar-a-Lago, he told reporters: “For years I wouldn't talk to Jeffrey Epstein. He did something that was inappropriate. He hired help and I said ‘Don't ever do that again.’ He stole people that worked for me and I said ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ And he did it again and I threw him out of the place … and that was it. I’m glad I did.”
