With the midterm elections coming up, there’s a legal battle starting over election laws and who controls them. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to bring the Federal Election Commission (FEC) under White House scrutiny. Democrats say that this could undermine the independence of the FEC, which is in charge of enforcing campaign finance laws, and a new lawsuit could soon determine the legalities of Trump’s order.

Many of President Donald Trump’s actions so far are being done through executive orders. However, to accomplish much of his agenda, he needs legislation and a budget. This falls on Congress. And his plans for “one big beautiful bill,” as he’s called it, is now moving through Congress, although it may end up being more bills than one. Meanwhile, there’s a brewing debate on whether Trump could get a third term in office. To change this would require a new constitutional amendment, and a proposal for this has been introduced. Trump himself has also previously been asked about the idea.

Officials found a bottle of opened pills next to his wife. （ Actor Gene Hackman arrives with his wife Betsy Arakawa for the 60th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Jan. 19, 2003. Mark J. Terrill/AP Photo ） Oscar-Winning Actor Gene Hackman, Wife Found Dead in Santa Fe Home Investigators said on Feb. 27 that Academy Award-winning actor Gene Hackman, his wife, and one of their dogs had been dead for a substantial period of time before a worker found their bodies at their home in New Mexico this week. The bodies of Hackman, 95, and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 63, were found in a bathroom near a space heater, officials with the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a search warrant of their property. There was also an opened bottle of prescription medication and pills scattered on a countertop near Arakawa, they said. A search warrant said  that their deaths are “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation because the reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened.” Meanwhile, it added, “Deputies observed a healthy dog running loose on the property, another healthy dog near the deceased female, a deceased dog laying 10-15 feet from the deceased female in a closet of the bathroom, the heater being moved, the pill bottle being opened and pills scattered next to the female, the male decedent being located in a separate room of the residence, and no obvious signs of a gas leak.” The New Mexico Gas Company tested gas lines in and around the home after the bodies were discovered, according to the search warrant. At the time, it didn’t find any signs of problems, and the Fire Department found no signs of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning. A sheriff’s detective wrote that there were no obvious signs of a gas leak, but he noted that people exposed to gas leaks or carbon monoxide might not show signs of poisoning. The manner and cause of death for both Arakawa and Hackman is unknown, according to officials. There were no indications “of blunt force trauma,” the search warrant affidavit also stated. “However, Affiant is seeking to seize any blunt force objects in the event there is any indication of blunt force trauma once the Office of Medical Investigations arrives on scene; and conducts their initial field investigation and possible cause of death,” it stated. A maintenance worker reported that the home’s front door was open when he arrived to do routine work on Feb. 26, and he called police after finding the bodies, investigators said. He and another worker said they rarely saw the homeowners and that their last contact with them had been about two weeks prior. However, Hackman appeared to have fallen, a deputy observed. He was wearing a blue t-shirt, gray sweatpants, and slippers. A pair of sunglasses and a cane were nearby. A dead German shepherd was found in a bathroom closet near Arakawa, police said. Two healthy dogs were found on the property, with one found inside and one outside. Hackman, a five-time Oscar nominee who is considered one of the greatest actors of the 20th century, appeared in “The French Connection,” “The Conversation,” “Unforgiven,” “Superman,” “Bonnie and Clyde,” and dozens of other films. He won an Academy Award for his performance in “The French Connection” and another for “Unforgiven.” Tributes quickly poured in from Hollywood after his death was announced. “There was no finer actor than Gene,” actor-director Clint Eastwood, Hackman’s “Unforgiven” co-star, said in a statement. “Intense and instinctive. Never a false note. He was also a dear friend whom I will miss very much.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

At the 2025 Conservative Political Action Conference, we sat down with Kari Lake, Trump’s choice to lead Voice of America, to discuss whether Elon Musk is right about wanting to scrap the state-funded media network. “I understand the sentiment. … But I do think it’s premature to say that. This is an 83-year [old] outlet that has been doing in many of those years, good work,” Lake says. “When you look at the budget, it’s relatively a small budget item for the big work it could do.” Watch the video: The role of director of Voice of America is officially nominated by the head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), a role that requires Senate approval, and must then be approved by a majority vote of the International Broadcasting Advisory Board. L. Brent Bozell III, Trump’s pick to head USAGM, has not been confirmed by the Senate yet.
