Construction crews continue to remove the East Wing of the White House and prepare for construction of the new ballroom, as seen from the newly reopened Washington Monument, Nov. 14, 2025. Andrew Leyden | Getty Images A federal judge must reconsider the possible national security implications of halting construction of President Donald Trump's $400 million White House ballroom, an appeals court ruled on Saturday. A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said it did not have enough information to decide how much of the project can be suspended without jeopardizing the safety of the president, his family or the White House staff. The case was returned to the trial judge who, in a March 31 ruling , barred work from proceeding without congressional approval, but suspended enforcement of that order for 14 days. The appeals court extended that for three days, to April 17, to allow the Trump administration to seek Supreme Court review. The panel instructed U.S. District Judge Richard Leon to clarify whether — and how — his injunction interferes with the administration's plans for safety and security. Government lawyers had argued that the project includes critical security features to guard against a range of possible threats, such as drones, ballistic missiles and biohazards and that holding up construction "would imperil the President and others who live and work in the White House,." Leon, in issuing the temporary pause, concluded that the preservationist group behind the legal challenge was likely to succeed because the president lacks the authority to build the ballroom without congressional approval. Leon exempted any construction work necessary to ensure the safety and security of the White House, but said he reviewed material the government privately submitted before determining that a halt would not jeopardize national security. The Republican administration's appeal cited materials that would be installed to make a "...

Texas To Face $700 Million In Federal Penalties For SNAP Errors Through 2027 Authored by Sylvia Xu via The Epoch Times, Texas is expected to pay $708 million more by 2027 to the federal government in penalties for erroneous distributions from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The state officials released the cost in a presentation to the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services on April 8. The state payment error rate was estimated to be nearly 9 percent in fiscal year 2025, totaling $627 million in erroneous payments. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Texas will need to share an additional food stamps program cost of $708 million, 10 percent of the state’s total program benefits, based on its error rate, beginning October 2027. Currently, the federal government fully funds the food stamps program, while states only need to pay half of the administrative expenses. In fiscal year 2024, Texas received nearly $7 billion in federal funding and paid roughly $470 million for administrative costs. Starting in October 2026, the states will need to share the administration costs at a rate of 75 percent. By 2027, Texas is expected to pay about $826 million more after adding in administrative fees of $117 million. To avoid that result, Texas needs to bring its error rate down to 6 percent before the fiscal year ends this September. In Texas, more than 3.2 million residents benefit from the food stamps program as of December 2025, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. A family of four can receive a maximum of $994 per month on a Lone Star Card, which can be used like a debit card at any store that accepts SNAP. Starting on April 1, SNAP recipients cannot buy candy or sweetened drinks in Texas with their Lone Star Cards. Improper Payments The federal government allocated nearly $100 billion to the food stamps program in fiscal year 2024; however, roughly $11 billion of that total was attributed to improper disbursement. The food stamp err...
