The Trump administration has abruptly canceled a multimillion-dollar contract with a Catholic charity that houses and cares for migrant children amid the president’s feud with Pope Leo XIV.  Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami has helped provide vital services to unaccompanied minors for more than 60 years, but could now shut down within a matter of months after the administration canceled an $11 million federal contract.

Republicans Against Trump - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill naming the 125-mile stretch of State Road 80 the “President Donald J. Trump Highway.”

NY Times - Aboveground construction on President Trump’s White House ballroom must halt until lawmakers authorize the project, a judge ruled Thursday, saying the president appeared intent on skirting a previous order by redefining the ballroom project as a critical national security upgrade.

The ruling escalated the legal standoff over the president’s plan to overhaul the White House grounds, which Judge Richard J. Leon had previously decided exceeded what a president can do at a historic building like the White House without approval from Congress.

Judge Leon said that adding features like bulletproof windows and other standard security features that exist throughout the White House did not exempt the ballroom project from his directives.

“National security is not a blank check to proceed with otherwise unlawful activity,” Judge Leon wrote.
