Bongino, newly appointed as a deputy director, stated he was previously paid for his opinions but now focuses on fact-based investigations. Despite this, he continues to express opinions, specifically referencing conspiracy theories surrounding the “collusion hoax.” These opinions, echoing earlier statements made on X, including suggestions of an FBI “inside job” related to the January 6th riot, indicate his opinion-based commentary remains active.

Leaked documents reveal the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) has instructed prison auditors to suspend enforcement of federal regulations protecting trans and intersex inmates from sexual assault, including those concerning separate showers and safe housing assignments. This directive, issued in a memo from DoJ official Tammie M. Gregg, is a temporary measure while the administration revises the regulations to align with President Trump’s executive order on transgender rights. Critics argue that this pause effectively suspends crucial protections under the Prison Rape Elimination Act, potentially endangering vulnerable individuals. While the memo seeks to suspend enforcement, the legal implications and actual impact on prison policies remain unclear, as existing PREA standards are still technically in effect.

Trump’s administration has been attacking various groups, including immigrants and female journalists, with insults and lies driven by animosity and a desire to recreate a white America that never existed. These actions, such as ICE raids, disproportionately target people of color and are often inhumane, failing to serve public safety while terrorizing communities. Coupled with attacks on reproductive rights aimed at boosting white birth rates, these policies are a form of bullying that exposes the incoherent nature of those promoting them. Despite these efforts, the demographic future of the country is not being redirected, and there is significant resistance from communities defending their neighbors.

The former president took to Truth Social to criticize Adam Schiff, labeling him a “Trump-hating loser” and questioning the platform given to him by Fox News. Trump also dismissed Schiff’s economic analysis, echoing a familiar claim that prices are falling, despite polls showing growing concern about the economy. This economic messaging reflects an administration that is increasingly out of touch with voters’ actual financial struggles. The mounting economic anxiety and recent electoral losses within the GOP have spurred calls for the party to reconsider its strategy and address voters’ financial concerns directly.

In a controversial move, the Trump administration has removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the 2026 fee-free days calendar at National Parks, replacing them with days honoring past presidents and Flag Day, which coincides with Trump’s 80th birthday. These holidays, which were added to the fee-free calendar in recent years, were removed in conjunction with the administration’s pause on public days of remembrance and ban on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The shift has drawn criticism, with advocates expressing concerns about access for Black communities and the symbolic implications of the changes. The decision reflects a broader focus on America’s 250th anniversary, as indicated by the inclusion of several other commemorative days.

Recent polling indicates waning support among even staunch Trump supporters for a third presidential term in 2028, despite the idea gaining traction among some Republicans and Trump’s former advisors. While the 22nd Amendment legally prevents this, this shift suggests a loosening grip on the Republican party. Trump himself has seemingly lost enthusiasm for the idea. Furthermore, negative approval ratings and economic concerns are contributing to this shift, potentially impacting the 2026 midterm elections.

While the Trump administration maintains that costs are declining, a recent Politico poll reveals voter skepticism, even among Trump supporters. Despite the White House blaming the current economic state on the previous administration, a significant portion of Trump voters still hold him responsible for the economy. Concerns are focused on rising prices, particularly for groceries, housing, and healthcare, while even wealthy households are struggling with affordability. The survey highlights growing unease as inflation persists, potentially impacting the upcoming midterm elections.

In a recent interview, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene stated that former President Donald Trump was “furious” with her for supporting the release of the Epstein files. Trump reportedly shifted his position on releasing the files after entering office, despite initially supporting their release. Greene’s stance and subsequent split with Trump highlight divisions within the Republican party regarding transparency and accountability, particularly concerning high-profile criminal investigations. The Department of Justice is now mandated to release the remaining Epstein-related documents, which could lead to further scrutiny and a special election for Greene’s congressional seat in early 2026.

In a recent social media post, President Trump made the unsubstantiated claim that Democrats intend to “obliterate” the Supreme Court, alleging they would expand the court by eliminating the filibuster. This statement followed a Supreme Court decision that favored Republicans by allowing Texas to use Republican-drawn congressional maps. While some Democrats have criticized the conservative court, and some progressives have proposed court expansion, there is no widespread consensus or concrete plan to do so. The president’s post continued his pattern of fear-mongering amid growing voter disapproval and anticipation of potential losses in upcoming elections.
