The visit included unveiling a new "Eternal Flame" hybrid tea rose sourced from the White House gardens in the Bunny Mellon Healing Garden, where children placed rocks, pinwheels, and American flags among the plants with Trump's help.

Elon Musk launches new “America Party” to oppose Trump
Elon Musk announced Saturday he's launching a new "America Party" [ [link removed] ] after conducting an online poll where 65.4% of his 1.2 million voting followers supported creating an alternative to the current two-party system, citing concerns about government waste and deficit spending.
The announcement escalates Musk's ongoing feud with President Trump, stemming from Musk's opposition to the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" which he called a "pork-filled" and "disgusting abomination" that could add $3.9 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.
Musk's political shift marks a dramatic reversal from his previous support, having spent hundreds of millions helping Trump get re-elected and leading the administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cost-cutting initiative before turning against Trump's legislative agenda.
The conflict has potential political ramifications, with Trump threatening to cut billions in federal subsidies to Musk's companies and Republicans worried that the Musk-Trump feud could damage their chances of maintaining their congressional majority in the 2026 midterm elections.
Officer shot in neck outside Texas ICE facility, suspects in custody: report
A Texas police officer was shot in the neck [ [link removed] ] Thursday night during what authorities described as a coordinated attack outside the Prairieland ICE Detention Facility in Alvarado, with the officer being airlifted to a hospital, treated, and later released.
Multiple armed suspects allegedly orchestrated an ambush, with more than a dozen masked individuals in black reportedly vandalizing vehicles and surveillance equipment, then launching fireworks to draw law enforcement into a trap before opening fire.
Eight suspects were arrested after attempting to flee, with some reportedly wearing body armor, while law enforcement from Alvarado Police Department and Johnson County Sheriff's Office responded to apprehend the attackers whose motive remains under investigation.
The Department of Justice is closely monitoring the incident along with similar attacks in Portland, Oregon, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stating the department has "zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property" and will pursue full prosecution.
