Honored to have the trust of the White House press corps to move the WHCA forward in its next chapter - and to serve as president heading into the 2028 election!

Former deputy assistant attorney general John Yoo says a refund program for worldwide tariffs “could be chaotic”. “That’s what Justice Barrett is referring to as a mess.”

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer says "we have to be nimble" when it comes to AI's effects on the job market. @SecretaryLCD @JacquiHeinrich @FoxNews

SHUTDOWN DAY 40: @SenateGOP is meeting at 12:30pm to talk next steps. Here’s what I shared this morning:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court issues emergency order temporarily blocking full SNAP food aid payments. Via @shermancourt

Interesting. When I asked him to do it 3 weeks ago he said no.

The White House said Friday that it has agreed to exempt Hungary from U.S. sanctions on buying Russian oil for one year following President Donald Trump’s meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. W/ @diana_nerozzi politico.com/news/2025/11/07…

BREAKING: The Trump administration files emergency request with #SCOTUS over #SNAP payments. "Given the imminent, irreparable harms posed by these orders, which require the government to transfer an estimated $4 billion by tonight, the Solicitor General respectfully requests an immediate administrative stay of the orders pending the resolution of this application by no later than 9:30pm this evening."

Spotted by @wusa9 at Reagan National Airport's air traffic control tower: "will vector for food"

Earlier w/ Hungarian President: President Trump: You would say that the Ukraine cannot win that war.  Viktor Orban: You know, miracle can happen.  President Trump: Yeah. That's right.

SCHUMER is also proposing a "bipartisan committee" to negotiate Obamacare subsidies. So: 1 year ext of the tax credits + reopen govt + bipartisan commission. Johnson and Jeffries have been opposed to a one-year extension.

News: Among other things, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer will propose that Dems will support reopening the government if Republicans agree to attach one year ACA subsidies extension, per three sources W/ @AndrewDesiderio

News — 11 Dem senators just met in Sen. King’s hideaway for 80 minutes, per source. Meeting was described as productive & didn’t reflect the heel-digging being displayed on the Senate floor this afternoon.

On a federal court ruling tonight ordering the admin to fully fund SNAP, @VP tells me: VP JD VANCE: “Look Jacqui, it's an absurd ruling because you have a federal judge effectively telling us what we have to do in the midst of a Democrat government shutdown, which what we'd like to do is for the Democrats to open up the government. Of course, then we can fund SNAP. We can also do a lot of other good things for the American people. But in the midst of a shutdown, we can't have a federal court telling the president how he has to triage the situation. We're trying to keep as much turned on. We're trying to keep as much going as possible. The president and the entire administration are working on that, but we're not going to do it under the orders of a federal judge. We're going to do it according to what we think we have to do to comply with the law, of course, but also to actually make the government work for people in the midst of the Democrat government shutdown. If they would like to end this, we would be welcome. We would welcome working with them to end this government shutdown, and then we wouldn't have to triage what we're going to fund and what we're not going to fund. And the last thing that I'll say is the American people are unfortunately about to start suffering some very real consequences because of the shutdown.” VANCE continues: “In the past, when you had a government shutdown, you would have you under the Obama administration, they would lean into all of the problems it was going to cause for the American people. At the beginning of the shutdown. The president has told us to keep as much going as humanly possible. But after 30 days of this thing, 40 days of this thing, you're going to start seeing very real travel delays. That's because the Democrat government shutdown, you're going to start seeing snap benefits run out. That's because the Democrat government shutdown, they should stop this charade and open up the government. That's what we want them to do. We've been asking to do it for 40 days. It's time.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio tells me Kazakhstan joining the Abraham Accords despite already having normal diplomatic relations with Israel is significant because the Abraham Accords is a development partnership: RUBIO: “There's a lot of countries that have diplomatic relations with one another. The Abraham Accords is a partnership. It's an enhanced relationship beyond just diplomatic relations and having embassies in each other's capitals. It is. And it's not just with Israel's with all the other countries that are part of the accord you're now creating a partnership that brings special and unique economic, development, on all sorts of issues that, that they can work on together. So that's, that's really the benefit of it. And the strength of it is to have majority Muslim countries, the Jewish state, able to partner on things to show the world that it is possible.”

POTUS adds to that, telling me: PRESIDENT TRUMP: “One other thing. Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away based on a number. Here's an example. When I was president, the number that you're talking about was a tiny fraction of what it is now. Biden went totally crazy, gave it to anybody that would ask, gave it to people that were able bodied, had no problem. Anybody would ask. We get the number and it's many times the number of people are on. This wasn't meant for that. It was meant for people that had real problems.”

The Senate has defeated an effort by Democrats to force a war powers vote on the U.S. military buildup re: Venezuela. Sen. Rand Paul R-KY & Sen. Lisa Murkowski R-AK were the only two GOP Senators to break ranks.

Senate blocks Kaine/Paul resolution to stop Venezuela strikes, 49-51. Murkowski and Paul voted yes. Fetterman also voted yes (he voted against the last one)

NEWS: Thune just told Senate Republicans that his plan is to tee up a vote to end the shutdown TOMORROW, per two people in the room GOP leaders expect to bring up the House-passed CR — and then amend it to include the three-bill minibus of full year funding bills and likely a revised CR that would go into January. Barrasso told @Reporter_Mia he expects the Senate to be in through the weekend @politico text subscribers got it first

Full quote: HEINRICH: Statement on Nancy Pelosi's retirement?.  President Donald Trump: think she's an evil woman. I'm glad she's retiring. I think she did the country a great service by retiring. I think she was a tremendous liability for the country.  HEINRICH: And on Dick Cheney?  (POTUS doesn't engage on Cheney, continues on Pelosi) President Donald Trump: I thought she was an evil woman who did a poor job who cost the country a lot. In damages and in reputation. I thought she was terrible. Thank you very much.
