Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) effort to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) seemed silly and unlikely just days ago. Greene had fallen out of favor with the far-right House Freedom Caucus and doesn’t have many allies. On Friday, former president Donald Trump stood next to Johnson and said he supported him.

Abbott’s endorsement puts the three-term governor on the record in a race where select GOP state legislators have shown that they are not all in on Gonzales for his 2023 vote in support of a bipartisan gun reform law in Congress.
Pasadena Showcase House of Design 2024: Step Inside the English Tudor Revival Manse

Designer Stephanie Hatten updated the Gatehouse Kitchen, turning it into an airy English-country-inspired space. An eye-catching natural stone by Walker Zanger was selected for the counters and backsplash, and the space was outfitted with the latest Monogram appliances. Native California wildflowers accent the Arroyo Vista Garden, which was designed with fire safety in mind. Landscape architect Elisa Read Pappaterra filled the center fountain with cascading succulents. Jerome Thiebault created a polished and petite bathroom complete with storage and a shower.

Others focused on bringing the beauty of the estate’s gardens and views inside with verdant murals, floral fabrics, and nature-inspired lighting. A triumph of regenerative design, the 747 Wing House upcycles airplane components into poetic roof forms. The Boeing was bound for the garbage pile before S.E.A. intercepted and reimagined it as architecture. The wings and tail stabilizers were all pre-engineered as self-supporting structures, making them perfect lightweight long-span roof profiles.
History
Seven New Yorkers were sworn in as jurors Tuesday in the historic criminal trial of former president Donald Trump. They make up more than a third of the total number of people needed to hold a trial with a full jury and six alternates. Prosecutors and defense attorneys will need to seat 11 more panelists — but that won’t happen today. Columbia University leaders will face intense grilling from lawmakers today over the university’s response to campus antisemitism in the wake of the Israel-Gaza war. Massie, a libertarian who opposes nearly all government spending bills, is one of only a handful of Republicans who joined no conference or faction. Greene, a firebrand whose goal was to buck the establishment and promote Trump, was kicked off committees by Democrats and shunned by Republicans.
Cynthia Silverman created a nursery fit for a prince or princess, incorporating golden accents and whimsical touches, such as the hot-air balloon light and animal figurines. Designer Karen Billman made Dunn-Edwards’s Skipping Stones the star of her cheery sunroom. She complimented the vibrant hue with metallic accents, Roman shades in a Morris & Co. fabric, and chairs upholstered in a moss green textile by Wesley Hall Fabrics. Below, tour the inspiring rooms and outdoor spaces of the 2024 Pasadena Showcase House of Design. Citing classified briefings he's received, Johnson called the aid "critically important" in pushing back on Russian aggression. Schumer said Senate Republicans and Democrats had a "few moments ago…locked in an agreement enabling the Senate to finish work on the supplemental with the first vote on Tuesday afternoon."

The Senate package has sat idle in the House for months as the speaker debated a path forward, and as he has faced threats from a small number of Republicans, who oppose sending more aid to Ukraine and want border measures, to hold a vote on dethroning him. He huddled with top national security officials, including William J. Burns, the C.I.A. director, in the Oval Office to discuss classified intelligence. He met repeatedly with broad factions of Republicans in both swing and deep red districts, and considered their voters’ attitudes toward funding Ukraine. It is not clear how many of the remaining hostages are still alive, but Goldberg-Polin says in the videotaped statement that Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed "about 70" of the captives.
“[We made] sure that it was a really usable room, that it didn’t just look nice,” Hermogeno says. The designers worked with a color palette of Dunn-Edwards paints, and several chose to highlight the brand’s 2024 Color of the Year, a steely blue called Skipping Stones. Nods to Pasadena’s famous peacocks can be found throughout the designs, and many creators fearlessly brought in statement floors, enveloped their spaces with jewel tones, and added texture to ceilings.

Progressives in the House who oppose unfettered military aid to Israel are pressing their colleagues to vote against the $26 billion bill, which is likely to pass, to send a message to President Biden. Mr. Johnson’s decision to risk his speakership to push the $95 billion foreign aid bill through the House on Saturday was the culmination of a remarkable personal and political arc for the Louisiana Republican. It was also an improbable outcome for a man plucked from relative obscurity last fall by the hard right — which had just deposed a speaker they deemed a traitor to their agenda — to be the speaker of a deeply dysfunctional House. Goldberg-Polin's parents are among the relatives and loved ones of hostages who have brought tremendous pressure on Israel's leaders to negotiate a new cease-fire and hostage release deal with Hamas. Rachel Goldberg-Polin had told CBS' "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan earlier this month that her family was living through "a painful, staggeringly indescribable odyssey" as they waited for news of her son. They knew already that he'd lost part of an arm in the Oct. 7 attack on the Supernova music festival, and had to apply his own tourniquet, according to witnesses.

She previously worked for the Washington Examiner and The Hill, and was a member of the 2022 Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowship with the National Press Foundation. The speaker said separating the bills would allow members to vote their "conscience" on each one. The fourth bill would allow the sale of frozen assets of Russian oligarchs to help fund future aid to Ukraine, potentially force the sale of TikTok and authorize stricter sanctions on Russia, China and Iran. Never had the House ousted its speaker until Republicans deposed Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) in October.
In the video, a man identifies himself as Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin before delivering a long statement clearly crafted by Hamas, which has long been designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. and Israel. McConnell said he remains committed to working to help regain a Republican Senate majority, despite his plans to step back from leadership at the end of the year. He said he believes the crop of candidates the Republicans have recruited are more inclined to back away from the party's recent isolationist tendencies. WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday celebrated the impending passage of $60 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine ahead of a final vote, while lamenting the fact that it took months to secure enough Republican support to land it. Designer Lara Hovanessian packed plenty of bold design elements into the powder room and adjacent lounge.
"This is an innocent young man being held hostage by a terrorist organization and he should be released immediately without condition and without delay," White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said at a briefing Wednesday afternoon. “I’m all about gardens connecting the architecture into the landscape,” landscape architect Timothy John Palcic tells AD PRO. He used a limited palette of chartreuse and dark hues that nod to the brick exterior and arranged benches to create intimate seating areas within the larger English-garden-inspired space. The landmark mansion was built in 1902 by architect Joseph J. Blick for Gertrude Potter Daniels, who paid $15,000 for the shingle-style home.
Designers Frank Slesinski and Serena Brosio collaborated on the charming living room in the Gatehouse. “One of the main things we did was add a window seat, which looks like it should always have been here,” Slesinski says. “Our whole goal with this space was basically to turn the lights on in the room, bring in the garden that’s outside, and kind of have an experience of a breath of fresh air,” Brosio says. Cozy Stylish Chic Creative Director Jeanne K. Chung and designers Angela Lee and Caroline Meloche brightened the dark wood-paneled library to create a space where residents can unplug. “Our two main goals were to create a space that was comfortable and a little bit updated while also retaining that history and not touching or harming all the really cool features that were innate to the room and came with the house,” Meloche says. Wallpaper was added to the ceiling and the backs of the bookcases, and heavy wood blinds were replaced with soft draperies and Roman shades to make the space feel lighter.
For her Foyer of Enchantment, Scheff installed a custom mural by Hattas Art Studios, a John Richard chandelier dripping with glass leaves, a silk wall covering by Aux Abris, and organic furniture created with Amorph Studio. “I wanted you to feel like you were transported to another time and place,” Scheff says. "We gave our members a voice, we gave them a chance, we gave them a better process and ultimately a much better policy," Johnson told reporters after the votes on Saturday, highlighting what he says are improvements from the Senate's foreign aid package.
