President Donald Trump hosts a congressional picnic on the South Lawn of the White House, and deploys 700 Marines to Los Angeles to quell the anti-ICE protest. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth testifies, and Democrats join faith leaders as they denounce proposed SNAP and Medicaid cuts, among the highlights of this week in Washington.
