Despite his incompetence, Hegseth’s position allows him to make decisions that put lives at risk. The author argues that Hegseth is unfit for his position and should be removed, as his actions demonstrate contempt for the military and a lack of understanding of his responsibilities.

Fred’s criticism follows the release of his memoir, in which he accused his uncle of using racist language and making insensitive remarks about his disabled son. These allegations were refuted by Trump’s spokesperson.

Additionally, the former president fired off angry posts of his own, including attacks on Senator Mark Kelly and a video of himself explaining his “reverse migration” concept.

The political success of Trump and his allies hinges on cultivating an illusion of strength, similar to authoritarian regimes, although the US system allows for greater vulnerability. Trump and his supporters depend on projecting an image of power to mask underlying weaknesses, which is why any perception of weakness is strongly countered. When this carefully constructed image is challenged, the very tactics used to promote it, such as over-the-top praise, can backfire and undermine the leader’s standing, leading to a loss of influence.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is facing scrutiny for a double-tap strike in the Caribbean that resulted in the death of survivors from an initial boat attack. Multiple legal experts and lawmakers suggest that Hegseth’s order to “kill everybody” could lead to investigations for war crimes or murder, as the Pentagon’s Law of War Manual prohibits targeting those who are incapacitated. The attacks, which have resulted in at least 83 civilian deaths, are considered extrajudicial killings, as the targets are suspected drug traffickers. Following the September 2 strike, a government source claimed Hegseth was turning military personnel into “murderers” while the Former JAGs Working Group condemned the actions as war crimes.

During a rally for Van Epps, while on House Leader Mike Johnson’s speakerphone, Trump emphasized the importance of winning the seat, citing the historic tax cuts and the upcoming “Great Big Beautiful Bill.” He falsely accused Behn of hating Christianity and country music. Trump framed the vote as a demonstration of Republican strength, while also announcing a Monday night telerally in support of Van Epps. The claims against Behn, including the accusation of hating Christianity, are part of a larger effort involving over $3.3 million in spending against her, despite Behn’s actual statements, which expressed concerns about religion’s role in legislation, never matching Trump’s characterization.

The White House released a memo detailing President Trump’s “preventative” MRI conducted last month at Walter Reed Military Medical Center, weeks after the visit. The advanced imaging focused on cardiovascular and abdominal health, a standard procedure for men in his age group, according to the White House. The memo, issued by the physician to the president, Dr. Sean Barbabella, stated that the cardiovascular imaging was “perfectly normal” and that major organs appear “very healthy.” The release of information came after the president himself mentioned the MRI and amidst ongoing questions about its purpose, with the White House citing an “effort of transparency.”

A recent YouGov poll indicates that almost half of American adults believe President Trump will be remembered as a “poor” or “below average” president. The poll surveyed over 26,000 U.S. adults and revealed significant differences in opinions based on political affiliation, with Democrats holding a more negative view. Across all age groups and demographics, the majority of respondents expressed unfavorable opinions of Trump’s historical standing. This poll reflects a larger trend, as Trump’s approval ratings have declined in recent months, with many major pollsters reporting negative ratings.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has called for Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s resignation due to her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education. Warren argued that McMahon’s actions, including mass layoffs and the transfer of key functions to other agencies, will negatively impact families and schools. Under the proposed plan, programs like Title I would be managed by the Department of Labor, potentially affecting funding for K-12 schools. This call for resignation followed legal action from a coalition of labor unions and educators who claim the administration’s actions violate the Constitution and harm students.

Following the release of an email, former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is facing scrutiny regarding his involvement in the redaction of Jeffrey Epstein files. The email, sent on his second day in office, indicates he was aware of the redaction process, contradicting his prior public stance demanding the unredacted release of the files. Internal documents reveal the bureau spent nearly a million dollars in overtime on redaction efforts during the Trump administration, with the stated goal of protecting victims. While Bongino initially expressed support for the redactions, he has since been reportedly critical of the DOJ’s decision to halt further releases, leading to strained relationships within the administration.
