In a recent address to the nation, former President Trump blamed current economic issues on the opposing party. He also claimed his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, made him give the address and boasted about military initiatives. Trump’s speech was followed by public mockery and a Marist poll revealed low approval ratings on his handling of the economy. Furthermore, the address included false statements about inflation and immigration, contradicting his past actions while in office. The White House later clarified details regarding a “warrior dividend” to be given to military service members, the funding of which was unclear.

A source within Japan’s prime minister’s office suggested the country should consider possessing nuclear weapons, a departure from its long-held non-nuclear stance. The remarks, made by an individual involved in security policy under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, came amid discussions of reviewing Japan’s Three Non-Nuclear Principles. While acknowledging the need for nuclear arms, the source also recognized the impracticality of such a move. This follows the potential for backlash due to Japan’s history as the only nation to have suffered atomic bombings and its commitment to a world without nuclear weapons, enshrined in its pacifist postwar Constitution.

The recent attacks, which began in early September, have resulted in at least 95 deaths. The White House has attributed the violence to efforts aimed at stopping the flow of fentanyl, with the president designating the substance as a “weapon of mass destruction”. This action seemingly legitimizes the militaristic response and is simultaneously being used to attempt the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. According to sources, former and current officials stated that Miller was the primary driving force behind the operation.

In a recent case, Judge Amul Thapar argued that the First Amendment’s protection of free speech may not definitively apply to non-citizens within the United States. This assertion contradicts the Supreme Court’s ruling in Bridges v. Wilson (1945), which explicitly recognized free speech rights for resident aliens. Thapar’s historical argument, citing the Alien and Sedition Acts, is also flawed as these acts were widely criticized and deemed unconstitutional due to their infringement on speech, and were meant to apply to both citizens and non-citizens. Furthermore, restricting the speech of non-citizens would inevitably harm the free speech rights of citizens who wish to hear from them.

Ghislaine Maxwell is seeking to overturn her sex trafficking conviction, arguing that new evidence reveals constitutional violations during her 2021 trial, leading to a miscarriage of justice. This filing was made just before the public release of Epstein-related records, prompted by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which will include investigative materials. Maxwell’s legal team contends that releasing these records could prejudice a potential retrial if her petition is successful, highlighting the presence of unproven allegations. The Justice Department, adhering to the law and court orders, plans to release the materials, which Judge Paul A. Engelmayer has deemed do not identify anyone other than Epstein and Maxwell.

On August 13, 2025, during the Kennedy Center Honors nominations, the White House announced the Kennedy Center would be renamed the “Trump-Kennedy Center.” This decision, made by a board appointed by President Trump, was attributed to Trump’s efforts in “saving the building,” despite reports of declining ticket sales and staffing. However, the renaming may face legal challenges due to U.S. code restrictions on memorial installations, which would require Congressional approval. This move follows Trump’s previous actions, including removing existing board members, signaling the change, and utilizing the center for various events throughout the year.

A former Tennessee law enforcement officer is suing Perry County and its sheriff after being jailed for over a month for a Facebook meme referencing a comment by Donald Trump following a school shooting. The post was made in response to a vigil for conservative activist Charlie Kirk and was interpreted by the sheriff as a threat to a local high school, even though the meme referenced a different school in another state. Bushart was charged with “threatening mass violence at a school” and held on a $2 million bond. The lawsuit alleges violations of Bushart’s First and Fourth Amendment rights, seeks a jury trial, and claims he lost his post-retirement job due to the incarceration, while the county and officials have not yet commented on the lawsuit.
