The elaborate set (looks like a lighting rig) going up for the upcoming UFC bout at the White House

The bystander hit by gunfire during Saturday night's shooting outside of the White House is thankfully expected to make a "full recovery" according to @SecretService Our latest for @TODAYshow on this Memorial Day: today.com/video/new-deta…

NY Giants Quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Trump today in Suffern, NY

Confirmed: DNI Tulsi Gabbard informed the President today of her plans to resign to support her husband, who is battling bone cancer, according to two senior administration officials. Fox News was first to report.

Fmr GOP Leader @SenMcConnell, who picks few spots for Trump criticism, scorches the President's "Anti-Weaponization" Fund: “So the nation’s top law enforcement official is asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops? Utterly stupid, morally wrong – Take your pick.”

NEW: Michael Cohen, Trump's former lawyer who served nearly three years in prison on tax evasion and other charges, told NBC News he is planning to apply for a payout from the DOJ's so-called anti-weaponization fund. He told @NBCNews he's working through the process on his own and will submit a letter directly to the DOJ.  “Nobody told me or called me up to say, ‘Hey, you should do this,’” he said. “I saw it on television. I saw @MichaelRCaputo put it in via a letter.” nbcnews.com/politics/trump…

Given the President’s recent flexes over his own party, Republican senators refusing to vote for his ballroom money would be quite the turn…

FITZPATRICK says he'll try to kill the DOJ slush fund. With a tiny majority, Fitzpatrick holds huge sway.

You would call Barney Frank’s office & they would just put you on the phone with him. “Hold on for Barney.” No one else did this, it was extraordinary in the pre-cell phone days. Then he’d yell at you, curse, lie, butter you up, spin you, tell you the truth. He was unique

Asked Cassidy about Trump’s endorsement in the Texas Senate race “I thought Ken Paxton was a felon,” he said

Stating the obvious, the Senate GOP is going to be pretty ungovernable for the next couple months. Unenviable task for White House office of legislative affairs.

@reesejgorman Oh. You’re that guy now?

One thing to watch for, that I believe is under-covered in this KY-04 primary between Rep. Thomas Massie and Ed Gallrein, is who gets the most votes. That’ll be a huge factor in who wins that race.

Hunt, who finished third in the #TXSEN primary, gets behind Paxton in the runoff now that Trump has endorsed Paxton. Hunt previously said he’d follow Trump’s lead in the runoff.

TXSEN: Trump comes off the sideline and endorses Ken Paxton in the GOP primary runoff. Trump calls sitting Senator @JohnCornyn a "good man," but "he was not supportive of me when times were tough." The President's reshaping of the Republican party in his own image continues.

Nine months after delivery was originally promised, NBC News received one of the first Trump Mobile review units and tested the device. The phone comes preloaded with Truth Social, features an American flag on the back with 11 stripes, and the box reads: “Proudly Assembled in the USA.” nbcnews.com/tech/gadgets/t…

Lingered in China for an extra day after the president left to go explore the Great Wall. Nothing you’ve seen of it in photos or video can do justice to how incredible it is to experience in person. It blows your mind.

For those keeping score at home, President Trump was asked AGAIN on the flight home from China about endorsing in Texas’s GOP senate runoff. No dice. Says he likes both candidates.

President Trump on with Hannity, pretty squishy on whether China is ordering new planes from Boeing related to this trip. First he says it’s 200 planes, but then hedges “I think it was a commitment.” (For context, such orders often take years or decades to fill after finalized)

While you were sleeping: China rolls out the red carpet for President Trump... but also greets him with a warning on Taiwan. Now the world's two biggest economies await announcement of any trade deals. Latest on @TODAYshow nbcnews.com/world/china/xi…
