In a mostly party-aligned decision, the House voted 211-206 on Thursday to officially rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” aiming to solidify President Donald Trump’s recent executive directive.
Only one GOP member, Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, broke ranks and opposed the legislation, which was championed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Greene celebrated the bill, calling it “one of the most important things that we can do this Congress.”
Democrats slammed the move as a pointless distraction and criticized Republicans for squandering legislative attention.

In a sharp departure from the very policy he once championed, President Donald Trump has quietly removed a key requirement in U.S.-Saudi nuclear negotiations: normalization with Israel. According to a bombshell Reuters report citing sources close to the talks, the Trump administration is no longer insisting that Saudi Arabia recognize the Jewish state as a precondition for advancing civil nuclear cooperation — a move that could signal a troubling shift in the region’s diplomatic balance. The reversal comes just days before Trump is set to visit Riyadh, where he’s expected to finalize a series of high-stakes agreements with the kingdom. The change not only marks a major U.S.

The Republican-led House passed a bill Thursday that would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and direct federal agencies to update their documents and maps to incorporate the new name. President Donald Trump already signed an executive order during his first day in office to rename the Gulf. House Republicans are looking to show their support, though it is unclear whether he Senate will go along. The bill passed by a vote of 211-206. The body of water has shared borders between the United States and Mexico. Trump’s order only carries authority within the U.S. Mexico, as well as other countries and international bodies, do not have to recognize the name change. Democrats said the vote demonstrated that Republicans are not focusing on the priorities of most Americans.

During Wednesday night’s episode of Special Report on Fox News, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont addressed criticism over his extensive use of private jets during campaign events like The Fighting Oligarchy Tour. He defended the high travel costs by arguing that the demands of a busy campaign schedule necessitate such transportation. “You run a campaign and do you three or four or five rallies in a week,” Sanders said. “You think I’m going to be sitting on a waiting line at United waiting while 30,000 people are waiting?” He made it clear that he plans to continue flying private.
