GameStop started with a mock-up of a statement declaring the console wars over. Sure, that's the kind of thing a company makes for social media when trying to capitalize on something in the news. The store notes that now that the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake is coming to PlayStation 5, there's nothing to fight about anymore, so you can take your Sony Ponies back to the stable and power down your Xbots.

We are creatures of symbols, and our architecture tells us who we are. John Ruskin, the greatest of architectural critics, observed that a nation writes its history in many books, but that the book of its buildings is the most enduring. The faith in order and proportion embodied in the Alhambra, the romance of modernity caught in the Eiffel Tower's lattice of iron-these are not ideas imposed on buildings but ideals that the buildings themselves express, more lastingly than words can.

The White House website has a timeline of "Major Events" that now includes several scandals - some real, some imagined by the right - likely as a way to justify the president's destruction of the East Wing this week. These scandals include former President Bill Clinton's affair, former President Barack Obama's supposed ties to Muslim terrorism (which was not a real story), Hunter Biden's drug use, and former President Joe Biden's support for trans rights.

Crews are demolishing the East Wing of the White House to make way for the construction of President Trump's $300 million, 90,000 square-foot ballroom, despite outcry from historical preservation groups and a lack of federal approval. The Trump administration dismissed widespread criticism as "manufactured outrage" in a fact sheet released Tuesday, which outlines the various renovations that presidents have made to the property over the last century and suggests this one is no different.

The White House press secretary is not about doing online trolling, @K_JeanPierre says responding to Trump White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's comments. It is an honor and a privilege to have that job and to speak on behalf of the most powerful person in the world.

A Secret Service SUV caught fire on Monday morning just a couple of blocks away from the White House. Black smoke was seen emanating from the vehicle as it sat at the intersection of 18th St. NW and Pennsylvania Ave, less than half a mile away from the White House, just ahead of President Donald Trump's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

US President Donald Trump has welcomed the new Irish Embassy to the neighbourhood, as Tánaiste Simon Harris officially opened the new location on Pennsylvania Avenue.

President Donald Trump has teased that he was going to hang an official picture of the autopen to mock his Democratic successor and predecessor, and that joke came to reality on Wednesday, with White House Communications Advisor Margo Martin posting a video on X of several presidential portraits lining the West Wing Colonnade. The video pans across pictures of George W. Bush and Barack Obama,

I have seen no reporting that there was pressure from the White House on Jimmy Kimmel, McEnany said. There were public comments made by [FCC Chair Brendan] Carr, but no indication that there was a discussion with Sinclair or the like, but that would be lost upon much of the media.

You and your policies are really helping a lot,

President Donald Trump convened some of Silicon Valley's most influential figures Thursday evening at the White House, hosting a high-profile dinner that underscored the tech industry's evolving relationship with his administration. The gathering in the newly renovated Rose Garden brought together 33 attendees, including CEOs from major technology companies, venture capitalists, and administration officials. With 13 billionaires in attendance and many others worth millions of dollars, the event was easily one of the wealthiest gatherings in the history of the White House.

Gates declared he was in the second phase of his career, focusing on areas like vaccines or gene editing. He continued: We don't need new science to eradicate polio, but heralded Trump's past pandemic vaccine drive when adding on diseases like HIV and sickle-cell, we do need new science, but the U.S. has the seeds, the same that Warp Speed' took those seeds and put them together.

The White House released a highly produced video depicting a SWAT-style raid on Sean Charles Dunn, a former Justice employee charged with felony assault for throwing a sandwich.

Known as SGEs, special government employees are limited to 130 days per year of unpaid work. Like recent SGE Elon Musk, they can be in senior positions and still have private employment and clients, unlike typical government workers at departments that handle hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts.

Trump repeatedly avoided addressing the question of Ghislaine Maxwell's credibility during a recent confrontation with CNN's Kaitlan Collins over her transfer to a minimum security prison.

The Federal Reserve is countering claims from the White House regarding extravagant renovations with a video that details a major overhaul and modernization of two old buildings.
