Trump's "get things done and worry about the fallout later" approach has resulted in a series of failures, such as the Reflecting Pool renovation and the Iran deal, which have left the American public questioning his competence, accountability and judgement.
Former Olympic canoeist David Hearn, charged in Reflecting Pool vandalism, has ties to ActBlue and donated to Barack Obama's campaigns, records show.
A federal judge on Monday struck down the Trump administration's revamped voter-citizenship database, ruling that federal agencies broke the law by building a centralized system that swept up the private data of millions of Americans and wrongly flagged U.S. citizens as non-citizens.In a sharply worded opinion, U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan vacated the 2025 overhaul of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, system, along with two related privacy notices issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. She found the changes violated the Social Security Act, the Privacy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act."[T]he federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote," Sooknanan wrote. "This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens."The overhaul followed President Donald Trump's March 2025 executive order on elections that expanded SAVE to include records of natural-born citizens, tap Social Security data including SSNs, as well as let states run their entire voter rolls through the system in bulk.The judge, an appointee of President Joe Biden, noted internal records showed the agencies knew the database was "not in compliance" with the Privacy Act and that accuracy shortfalls "could cause incomplete or false results." Naturalized citizens with outdated Social Security files were among those wrongly flagged as non-citizens, with some forced to prove citizenship within 30 days or lose their registrations. An investigation in one Texas county found a quarter of the system's "non-citizen matches" were people who had already proven citizenship, the court filing detailed.The case, brought by the League of Women Voters and the Electronic Privacy Information Center, follows months of warnings about the error-prone system, which even several red states refused to feed their voter data.

The once tight bond between Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and MAGA ally Mike Davis has fractured, offering a personal window into the broader rift between the Trump administration and the justices it helped appoint.Gorsuch once nicknamed Davis "the general" for the leading role he's taken in his career, first by helping him secure his first federal judgeship, then by leading the public campaign for his Supreme Court confirmation and later serving as one of his inaugural clerks – but that closeness has since deteriorated, reported The Daily Beast.One source with direct knowledge of the relationship told the Washington Post that Gorsuch was upset after Davis publicly attacked Justice Amy Coney Barrett, calling her a "rattled law professor" over rulings she joined against Trump alongside the court's liberal justices. Another source with direct knowledge said Davis, in turn, was angered by Gorsuch's vote to block the administration's use of a wartime authority to deport Venezuelan migrants.The strain became visible last year when Davis was notably absent from a gathering Gorsuch hosted for his former clerks. The two sources differed on whether Gorsuch asked Davis not to attend or whether Davis chose to stay away on his own.Davis declined to discuss the relationship directly but defended his broader criticism of the court in an interview, arguing that an unfavorable ruling on birthright citizenship would damage the court's standing. "They are following politics and vanity projects instead of the law," he said, adding that public pressure on the justices could be productive. "Sometimes feeling the heat helps people see the light."The falling-out reflects a wider pattern playing out across President Donald Trump's relationship with the court. Despite Gorsuch being one of three justices Trump appointed during his first term, the 80-year-old president has at times publicly criticized him by name, including accusing him of lacking "loyalty" after he joined a ruling striking down Trump's tariffs.Gorsuch, for his part, has avoided directly engaging with the criticism. Asked in a CBS News interview whether he owed loyalty to the president, he said simply that his "loyalty is to the Constitution." Gorsuch did not respond to a request for comment on his relationship with Davis.
