New Photos Reveal Iconic White House Rose Garden Paved Over After Trump Makeover
President Donald Trump'slong-promised overhaul of the White House Rose Garden became reality in photos taken this week. The green lawn at the center of the garden, used for decades for White House events, has been replaced with what appeared to be white stone. Some foliage remained, with rose bushes and hedges bordering the new patio area. The changes fulfilled Trump's former vow to pave over the garden. He said the grass got too wet and the terrain made it hard for women to walk in high heels. This is the second time the Rose Garden has undergone big changes with Trump in office. In 2020, First Lady Melania Trump oversaw her own Rose Garden makeover, which involved adding pathways, planting new rose bushes and tearing out some of the garden's previous vegetation, including its beloved crab apple trees. While her updates drew some backlash at the time, the changes weren't nearly as stark as her husband's new redesign. This week, critics blasted the garden's new look on social media. That said, some people liked it, with fans noting that it includes drains shaped like American flags. Revamping the garden isn't the only thing on Trump's White House renovation docket. He also plans spend $200 million tearing down the East Wing to construct a ballroom. Related...

Senate makes progress in averting a gov't shutdown much earlier than usual
The Senate took a significant step towards averting an impending partial government shutdown by passing a tranche of funding bills much earlier than usual. Senators approved three of the 12 appropriations bills Friday needed to forestall a partial shutdown, including ones to fund the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Agriculture, new military facilities, and Congress itself. 'We are on the verge of an accomplishment that we have not done since 2018, and that is, pass appropriations bills across the Senate floor prior to the August recess,' Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Susan Collins (R–Maine) cheered before the upper chamber reached the feat. 'That is exercising our constitutional responsibility for the power of the purse.' The three appropriations bills that clear the Senate are typically viewed as the less controversial ones to get across the finish line. Still, it comes amid significant hurdles toward preventing the looming autumn shutdown. 4 Sen. Susan Collins helped broker the deal to get the three appropriations bills passed through the Senate. REUTERS 4 Senate Majority Leader John Thune has eaten into the August recess to clear up the upper chamber's lengthy to-do list. Democrats widely see the shutdown fight as a rare instance in which they have leverage in Congress and have been vexed by President Trump's use of impoundment and rescissions to make spending cuts without their approval. Moreover, Congress hasn't actually passed the 12 appropriations bills to properly fund the government on time since 1997. Each fiscal year, which starts on Oct. 1, Congress is tasked with funding the government to prevent a partial shutdown. Congress has typically relied on a mechanism known as continuing resolutions, or CRs, to put government spending on autopilot for stretches of time. CRs and appropriations bills are subject to the 60-vote threshold needed to break a filibuster in the Senate and must be bipartisan, which is why Congress typically struggles with the process. 4 Sen. Patty Murray said the deal will help prevent some of the cuts Democrats opposed. The current fiscal year is running on what turned into a yearlong CR, and there have been some murmurs in the House about doing so again for Fiscal Year 2026. Senators voted 87-9 on Friday for a two-bill minibus to fund the VA and Department of Agriculture. They then voted 81–15 on the third appropriations bill to fund Congress. Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the top Democratic appropriator, argued the small-scale deal 'rejects damaging cuts from Trump and House Republicans,' despite progressive complaints. The Senate still has nine more appropriations bills to take up: Commerce, Defense, Energy, Financial Services, Homeland Security, Interior, Labor, State and Transportation. The Senate Appropriations Committee has already approved about half of those, inching them closer to a full chamber vote. 4 Oftentimes, government shutdown fights come down to the wire. REUTERS Those appropriations bills will need to be green-lit by the House of Representatives, which is on August recess, and signed into law by President Trump. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has eaten into the August recess while seeking to wrangle through key Trump nominations and chip away at the backlog. He is currently negotiating with Democrats on a deal to expedite that process.

Texas House committee advances GOP-friendly map
A Texas state House panel on Saturday advanced proposed congressional maps that aim to make the Lone Star State's district lines even friendlier to Republicans. The Texas House Select Committee on Congressional Redistricting voted to advance a set of maps that would give Republicans five more pick-up opportunities ahead of 2026 and would impact lawmakers in the Dallas-Forth, Austin, Houston and Rio Grande Valley areas. The move tees up a floor vote in the House, where the map will be considered by all members. With an 88-62 GOP majority in the state House, the maps are expected to pass the lower chamber easily. President Trump is looking to pick up five seats in Texas as Republicans brace for an unfavorable political environment in the midterms next year. Republicans are considering pick-up opportunities in Missouri, Indiana and Florida as well. Texas Democrats have limited options to respond, given Republicans enjoy a decisive majority in the state legislature and in the governor's office, though the map is expected to draw litigation. Democrats could try to break quorum — the number of lawmakers needed in order to conduct business — as they did in 2003 when Texas Republicans engaged in mid-cycle redistricting, yet it would do little to thwart eventually passing a new map. Democrats are also weighing their options for mid-cycle redistricting in blue states as a response. California is seriously considering several options – either through a ballot initiative or through the state legislature – to redraw its maps. Democratic governors in New York, New Jersey and Illinois are leaving the door open to considering redrawing their maps. The redistricting tit-for-tat is paving the way for a tumultuous election year that could upend multiple maps, setting off a scramble over which districts candidates run in and potentially impacting when primaries happen depending on whether those issues can be resolved quickly.
