Here's what's new since 10:30. Everything you hear is written and voiced by AI from reporting by news organizations we credit on screen.

The National Capital Planning Commission voted Thursday to green‑light the design for Trump's 250‑foot arch. Opponents say lawsuits could still try to stop the build. A judge may issue an order halting the project. The District of Columbia and Virginia have sued to prevent the arch from being built. It remains unknown whether the cases will lead to a halt or allow work to continue.

A Vietnam veteran heading the lawsuit described the arch as frankly blasphemous as the review panel moves toward final approval.
