Happy December 1st everyone! Today, the White House held its first annual Christmas party. President Trump stopped by, surprising guests and delivering some pretty entertaining remarks. He joked about the attendees taking the place of “a lot of people who wanted to be here” before promising to do great things in the next three years as president. After all, “Three years for Trump is an eternity!” Watch here: Backup here, if needed: BREAKING: Awesome moment as President Trump makes an appearance at the first White House CHRISTMAS PARTY “It’s an honor for me to be your president.

The people in this room…you took the place of a lot of people who wanted to be here!” “We have 3 years left. 3 years for Trump is an ETERNITY!” In true Trump fashion, he effortlessly charmed the crowd. Three years is a long time, indeed! He can get a lot done in that time period. It’s an especially long time for his haters! But, we also saw President Trump’s genuine, kind side — the side that the media never shows us — on full display. President Trump took a moment to honor the National Guard members who were shot in a horrific ambush attack last week.

Prayer is powerful, and with a miracle from God, perhaps Wolfe can be home with his family on Christmas.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said she is recommending a “full travel ban” on “every d**n country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.” “Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS. WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE,” she continued. I just met with the President. I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies. Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign… — Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) December 1, 2025 NBC News shared: A source familiar with the travel ban announced by Secretary Noem says approximately 30 countries are on the list of nations included in the proposed travel ban and the list could expand. A spokesperson for DHS said, “We will be announcing the list soon.” The first version of the travel ban under the first Trump administration banned people from seven countries from entry. President Donald Trump shared her X post on Truth Social but did not comment on it. The proposed travel ban follows the Trump administration saying it would re-examine green cards issued to individuals from “19 high-risk countries.” The 19 countries include Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. Green Cards Issued To Individuals From “19 High-Risk Countries” To Face “Rigorous Re-Examination” BBC has more: Noem's comments come days after two National Guard members were shot in Washington DC last Wednesday. Prior to her comments about a travel ban, Noem wrote on social media that 100,000 Afghan nationals entered the US under the Biden-era Operation Allies Welcome programme, and she said the DHS would overhaul the vetting process. Officials identified the suspect in the DC shooting as an Afghan national who entered the US in 2021 as part of that programme, which was designed for locals who had worked with American troops during the 20-year US deployment to Afghanistan. According to emails from last year that were obtained by CBS News, the suspect struggled with his mental health after arriving in the US. The Trump administration has intensified its immigration crackdown in the wake of the shooting, which killed Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and seriously injured Andrew Wolfe, 24. West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey told reporters on Monday that Mr Wolfe had responded to nurses with a thumbs-up, but he remained in a serious condition in hospital. All decisions on asylum requests were also halted after the DC shooting, with US Citizenship and Immigration Services director Joseph Edlow saying it would remain paused "until we can ensure that every alien is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible".

Costco has sued the Trump administration, seeking a “full refund” on the tariffs it has paid on imported goods following Trump’s executive order to implement a series of “reciprocal” tariffs, should the Supreme Court strike down the tariffs. The wholesaler is asking the Court of International Trade to consider all tariffs collected under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act unlawful. Costco files federal lawsuit challenging Trump’s emergency tariff orders on imported goods https://t.co/15TLtAazcm pic.twitter.com/5fUn3ZYu7w — New York Post (@nypost) December 2, 2025 NBC News has more: “Because IEEPA does not clearly authorize the President to set tariffs … the Challenged Tariff Orders cannot stand and the defendants are not authorized to implement and collect them,” Costco’s lawyer writes in the lawsuit. The Supreme Court is reviewing the legality of Trump’s sweeping tariff agenda. In oral arguments in early November, justices appeared skeptical about the government’s case. Both conservative and liberal justices asked tough questions to Solicitor General D. John Sauer, though some of the conservatives seemed more sympathetic to his arguments. Trump became the first president ever to use the IEEPA law to impose import duties. Lower courts earlier ruled against the administration’s use of the law but kept the tariffs in place while the case was argued. Costco does not say in the filing how much the duties have cost the company; importers have paid nearly $90 billion under the IEEPA law, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data through late September. “The economic consequences of the failure to uphold President Trump’s lawful tariffs are enormous and this suit highlights that fact,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai said, according to The New York Times. “The White House looks forward to the Supreme Court’s speedy and proper resolution of this matter,” the statement added. ABC News provided coverage: Costco has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for a "full refund" on import duties the company says it paid this year under global tariffs imposed by President Trump.

Costco argues that the Trump administration’s implementation of them has created chaos. The tariffs have been “threatened, modified, suspended, and reimposed, with the markets gyrating in response,” the lawsuit says. The lawsuit does not disclose how much Costco has paid in tariffs. Importers like V.O.S. Selections, a wine and spirits company, and Learning Resources, Inc., an educational toymaker, have already secured major rulings against the administration in lower federal courts. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments last month and is expected to rule on the legality of the tariffs in the near future. Mr. Trump argues that tariffs have helped bring the government “hundreds of billions of dollars,” and the administration has warned of a severe economic impact should businesses be allowed to seek refunds if the government loses the Supreme Court case. If the administration loses the Supreme Court case, there are other ways to tax imports. Multiple trade authorities exist that would allow the president to impose tariffs that are not subject to the IEEPA, and some of those provisions are already in use.
