President Donald Trump's second administration continued its swift recasting of the federal government, prompting pushback from Democrats and legal challenges.

The president said Sunday that he will announce tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum on Monday but didn't say when they'll take effect.

Trump, meanwhile, is at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night to take in the Super Bowl. Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in an interview aired before the game on Fox.

GOP lawmakers introduce bill to codify Trump DEI EOs

Republicans Sen. Eric Schmitt and Rep. Michael Cloud introduced legislation Tuesday that aims to codify into federal law many of President Donald Trump's DEI-related executive orders.

"President Trump understands that these programs have absolutely no business in the federal government, and I am proud to introduce this critical legislation with Congressman Cloud that will save taxpayer dollars and put a stop to this DEI madness," the senator said.

This legislation, if considered, would require 60 votes in the Senate, which would mean at least seven Democrats would need to support it. It's unlikely it would have that kind of support.
