## Resource

A White House scandal erupts over a $14.8M paint job for Lincoln Memorial’s reflecting pool—far exceeding initial estimates—fueling outrage over fiscal mismanagement. Amid this, the president’s controversial Iran military strike without congressional approval intensifies scrutiny over executive overreach. Internal GOP dissent grows as Republicans revolt against a $1.8B “supporter fund” proposal and back congressional oversight of Iran. The nation teeters on a pivotal moment: will presidential authority override democratic norms—or will accountability reshape the political landscape?
