From executive producer Isaac Saul, this is Tangle.
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. And welcome to the Tangle Podcast, a place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of our take. I am your host today, senior editor Will K back, wishing you a happy hump day on this Wednesday, September 2nd. So President Trump's White House ballroom project is back in the headlines this week, and the Supreme Court may or may not have just written the final chapter in this construction saga, emphasis on the may have. There is a bit more than meets the eye here, especially with this court decision. So today we're gonna parse exactly what went into their determination and what it means about the future of this project.
As a bonus, I'm going to finally get to connect Robert Moses to a contemporary news item, which is something I admittedly have been trying to do after spending the bulk of last year reading The Power Broker by Robert A. Cairo. So stay tuned for that as well.

Thanks Will. First up we have today's quick hits. Number one. US Central Command said the military carried out a new wave of airstrikes against Iranian targets in response to Iranian missile and drone attacks on US bases in the Middle East. Number two. Senator Ed Markey defeated Representative Seth Moulton in Massachusetts Democratic Senate primary. Markey will face Republican attorney and veteran John Deaton in the general election. Number three. Germany said it believes Russia was behind an attempt to send explosive drones to a German airport in August. Germany's interior minister said, We do not consider ourselves at war, but we are the daily target of hybrid warfare, and pledge to seek new sanctions against Russia.
Number four. The House voted three hundred seventy to forty eight to pass a three month spending bill in advance of a september thirtieth funding deadline. The Senate passed the bill in August and it now goes to President Trump to sign. Number five. Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York. Rebuked Representatives Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Gloosenkamp Perez of Washington after they cast deciding votes to pass a Republican led procedural measure advancing parameters for how a set of bills will be debated on the House floor.
We have some significant breaking news from the Supreme Court. In a 5-4 decision, the court is allowing construction on Donald Trump's ballroom to proceed while legal challenges play out. The court said that the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the plaintiff in this case, likely did not have the legal standing to bring the lawsuit. On Monday.
The Supreme Court decided 5-4 to allow President Trump to continue above-ground construction on his White House ballroom project. The unsigned order pauses a federal judge's halt on above ground construction, stating the plaintiff likely lacks legal standing. However, the majority did not decide whether Trump has the legal authority to build the ballroom without congressional approval, and litigation will continue in lower courts. For some more context, in July of twenty twenty five, the Trump administration released plans to construct a ninety thousand square foot addition to the White House.
