It was the first restaurant in Washington, DC that President Donald Trump has visited that isn't his own since winning the White House. Trump took a field trip to Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab, a couple of blocks from the White House with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The purpose of the dinner? To show how much of a safer city Washington now is. Trump declared an emergency a month earlier to take over DC's Metropolitan Police Department and deployed hundreds of National Guard troops to bolster security. Inside Trump's night on the town. |
Woos and boos: Trump was greeted with loud cheers from people across the street and a smattering of boos inside, according to social media video and reporters. Trump came face to face with activists from the grassroots antiwar group Code Pink, according to a video clip shared on X. The activists were shouting, "Free D.C., free Palestine, Trump is the Hitler of our time." The protesters were escorted out by security. |
A different round of applause: While Trump was met with both cheers and boos during his night out in DC, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor was met with a standing ovation by viewers of the "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" the day after her blistering response to her conservative colleagues' latest ruling siding with the Trump administration. Sotomayer encouraged viewers to read both sides of the courts' rulings. | President Donald Trump waves as he leaves from the Joe's Seafood restaurant near the White House after dinner, in Washington, DC on Sept. 9, 2025.

Was it grace or recklessness? |
It's the big question that former Vice President Kamala Harris reflects on in her new memoir, "107 Days." Harris refused to tell Joe Biden he should not run for reelection, and now she admits it was a colossal mistake. She said it was "recklessness" that drove so many people around Biden to defer to the aging president and his wife. In an excerpt published in The Atlantic, Harris rebukes Biden's team for the way she was treated as vice president – before and after he dropped out of the 2024 campaign. Harris' forthcoming book is set to release on Sept. 23. Read more of the excerpt here. |
