The U.S. Department of Justice, led by Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, has moved to dismiss charges against David Hearn regarding damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Prosecutors acknowledged that the peeling sealant, previously at the center of the legal dispute, was the result of a botched installation rather than criminal intent or negligence.

Bipartisan Senate Group Moves to Repeal 1957 Middle East Military Authorization
A bipartisan coalition of senators, led by Mike Lee and Tim Kaine, has introduced legislation to repeal the 1957 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). This Cold War-era law, originally intended to counter Soviet influence in the Middle East, is considered obsolete by lawmakers who argue that keeping such broad authorizations on the books undermines congressional oversight. The effort reflects a growing movement in Washington to sunset decades-old military authorizations that have remained active long after their original geopolitical contexts have vanished. Supporters believe the repeal is a necessary step in reclaiming constitutional authority over war-making powers.

While the administration argues these measures are necessary for long-term sustainability, local leaders contend the cuts disproportionately target Arizona. The move highlights escalating tensions between federal agencies and Western states over the management of critical water resources amid persistent drought conditions.

As a high-profile figure during the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci’s post-government earnings have drawn scrutiny from political critics. While his supporters emphasize his decades of public service, the "divisive" nature of his public standing continues to fuel debate regarding the financial trajectories of senior federal officials after they leave office.
