Amen.

Numerous Democrats are foaming at the mouth over the expansion of the White House East Wing with a stunning 90,000 square-foot addition paid for by President Donald Trump and other donors.

In response to the news that construction was under way on Trump's ballroom, Hillary Clinton — the twice-failed presidential candidate and former first lady who absconded from the White House in 2001 with a small fortune's worth of furniture and furnishings that weren't hers to take — said, "It's not his house. It's your house. And he's destroying it."

Besides referencing in its major events timeline Presidents William Howard Taft's remodeling of the West Wing, Franklin D. Roosevelt's expansion of it, and Harry Truman's "total reconstruction" of the White House's interior.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday told U.S. military members in Japan that he may send in more troops than just the National Guard to deal with crime in urban areas.

"We have cities in trouble. We can't have cities that have trouble," Trump told troops at the USS George Washington at the Yokosuka Naval Base. "We're sending in the National Guard, and we need more than the National Guard."

Trump added: "We'll send more than the National Guard, because we're going to have safe cities. We're not going to have people killed in our cities. And whether people like that or not, that's what we're doing."

In recent months, the president has sent the National Guard to Washington; Memphis, Tennessee; Portland, Oregon; Los Angeles; and Chicago. He has also warned that other cities may see a Guard deployment due to crime and illegal immigration.

The deployments have faced legal pushback, although an appeals court ruled this past week that Trump has the power to deploy National Guard troops to Portland.

As Democrats feigned outrage over the shutdown they started, Thune and his Republican colleagues were hard at work confirming Trump's nominees and passing legislation with conservative wins.

In the early days of the shutdown, Senate Republicans confirmed a batch of 107 of Trump's nominees in a 51-47 party-line vote. Throughout the shutdown, the Senate also confirmed 11 nominees to serve as federal judges.

Since Trump took office in January, the Senate has confirmed 310 civilian nominations, including high-profile Cabinet members, federal judges, and ambassadors.

The Senate also passed several key pieces of legislation to advance Trump's agenda during the shutdown while Democrats stood on the sidelines.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that President Donald Trump's proposal to send $2,000 tariff payments to certain U.S. residents would require legislation, while he believes the Supreme Court won't rule against the administration on the legality of the tariffs.

"We will see. We need legislation for that," Bessent said when asked about the rebates during an interview with Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures," adding the tariff checks would go to "working families."

Starting earlier this month, Trump has repeatedly suggested that his tariffs could be used to fund the dividend payments and added that low- and middle-income people would be eligible. The president first floated the idea in July.

The Trump administration has plans to root out fraud in the country's food stamp program.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program provides benefits to approximately 42 million Americans, costing about $100 billion in the fiscal year 2024.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced Thursday that the administration will require Americans receiving food stamps through SNAP to reapply.

Rollins explained that she sent letters to every state, requesting data on SNAP benefits. She noted that 29 states, primarily those led by Republicans, responded to the request.

She stated that "186,000 deceased men and women and children in this country are receiving a check."
