- President Trump refuses to sign a major bipartisan housing bill to protest the Senate's failure to pass voter ID legislation.

- It includes more than 40 provisions, such as easing home construction and limiting institutional purchases of single-family homes.
- Democrats criticize Trump’s stance, arguing the voter ID bill restricts voting rights ahead of the midterm elections.
I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in protest over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing the Save America Act.— Trump posted on Truth Social in a long post, explaining his protest that the Senate is not capable of passing the Save America Act.

- A federal appeals court denied President Trump's request to halt the removal of his name from the Kennedy Center.
- The building’s signage has been covered since June 13, and the current executive director confirmed the name removal.
- Judges concluded Trump failed to demonstrate that the center would suffer irreparable harm without his name displayed.
- The Kennedy Center continues to operate with a reduced schedule of events amid ongoing litigation.
Appellants, however, have failed to support this assertion with any specific facts or evidence. They offer only the conclusory assertions of the Kennedy Center's Executive Director that were made in a factually unsupported declaration.— From the denial by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (Patricia Millett, Robert Wilkins, and Gregory Katsas).
