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.

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.

President Trump announced that over 1.4 million service members would receive a “warrior dividend” of $1,776 before Christmas, funded by Congressionally-allocated reconciliation funds. These funds, totaling $2.6 billion, are intended to supplement the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for eligible service members ranked 0-6 and below. The Defense Department directed the disbursement, despite some Congressional leaders expressing concerns about the Pentagon’s adherence to spending recommendations for the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” reconciliation legislation. Furthermore, some lawmakers have scrutinized the administration’s reallocation of military funding.

Tonight’s presidential address was far from a typical speech, marked by bizarre inaccuracies and a tone of panic. The president appeared to be attempting to bully the nation into acknowledging his successes, demonstrating a lack of empathy and awareness of public concerns. Instead of addressing crucial economic and foreign policy matters, he dismissed them, revealing his fear and contempt for the American people, as well as the military, whom he attempted to buy off. The speech offered no real news, painting a picture of a leader unraveling and unworthy of the nation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has adjourned Congress the day before the Justice Department is scheduled to release the complete Epstein files. This move raises concerns about potential obstruction, as it may delay or limit scrutiny of the files’ contents. The timing of the adjournment is viewed by some as an attempt to shield fellow Republicans from accountability, mirroring prior instances where Johnson has taken actions perceived as delaying tactics. This action adds to the growing speculation of a pattern of behavior from the Speaker.

Following the release of a poll suggesting a close race between herself and the Vice President, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asserted she would “stomp” JD Vance in a presidential election. While downplaying the significance of polls conducted years in advance, the congresswoman made this bold statement as she departed the US Capitol. This claim positions her as a potential frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028, alongside other prominent figures like Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom. Public perception considers Ocasio-Cortez to be an important political figure.

Following the national address, President Trump admitted to journalists that he was instructed to give the speech by his chief of staff, Susie Wiles. The address, a rapid-fire delivery of falsehoods and attacks on his predecessor, came shortly after a Vanity Fair profile of Wiles was published. In the profile, Wiles made candid remarks, and it was speculated that Trump’s speech was orchestrated as damage control after the negative press surrounding her. While staff members praised the speech, sources indicated the speech was considered puzzling by allies.
