The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow construction to continue on President Donald Trump’s planned $400 million, 90,000-square-foot White House ballroom while it appeals a D.C. Circuit order halting the work. The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to stop the project, which Trump has described in recent posts as a “Military Complex.” Trump responded on Truth Social by calling the nonprofit and plaintiffs “TREASONISTS” and accusing them of revealing “Top Military Secrets” from plans and specifications shared during the litigation.
