Hosting the Congressional Ball seems like it should be one of the easiest tasks on the Trumps' agenda. The annual party is a bipartisan event where members of the House of Representatives and Senate gather to celebrate the holidays at the White House.

The tours were on a three-month hiatus because of President Trump's decision to build an estimated $300 million ballroom, which resulted in the East Wing's removal.

You should buy it or do whatever one does with crypto," her retweet worked ... sort of?
It's unclear how Melania's initiative will follow her goals of protecting children from the harms of AI or equipping them for a workforce shaped by the technology. However, my source in the industry tells me the first lady's involvement is expected to lead to "big commitments from a bunch of these companies" beyond the multibillion-dollar investment figures they've already promised the Trump administration.
Look, President Trump just secured a win with some of the largest tax cuts in history, Luna told Charlie Hurt. Not to mention, he's going to be capping prescription prices. Luna then echoed a misleading claim about monks in Cambodia nominating the president for the Peace Prize. And also, he's continuing to broker world peace, so much so that literally hundreds of monks have nominated him, including world leaders, for the Nobel Peace Prize, she continued.
