During his address to the United Nations General Assembly, Donald Trump’s speech was perceived as a blatant display of “Trump First” rhetoric, potentially damaging America’s reputation. The speech was marked by frivolous tangents, boasting about personal accomplishments, and undermining the credibility of the U.N. as an institution. Trump made misleading claims about ending wars and praised his own record, while also criticizing other countries and promoting his extreme right-wing views. This behavior included Orwellian boasts of defending personal liberties while his administration censored media figures.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has refuted claims made by the Trump administration regarding acetaminophen use during pregnancy and its link to autism, stating that no scientific consensus supports the alleged connection. WHO maintains that extensive research, including large-scale studies, has found no consistent association and advises women to consult with their doctors regarding medication use during pregnancy. Furthermore, the organization reaffirmed its position on vaccines, emphasizing that numerous high-quality studies confirm vaccines do not cause autism, and that global immunization efforts have saved millions of lives. The WHO’s statements follow concerns raised by the Trump administration and are aligned with other medical experts who have deemed the claims baseless.

During his address at the United Nations, President Trump deviated from his prepared remarks to complain about a malfunctioning escalator and a non-operational teleprompter. However, the UN spokesman attributed the escalator issue to a U.S. delegation videographer who triggered the safety mechanism. Further investigation revealed the teleprompter malfunction was likely the responsibility of the White House. These incidents occurred amidst broader financial challenges faced by the UN, including intermittent elevator and escalator shutdowns due to budget constraints, partially caused by delayed funding from the United States, the organization’s primary donor.
To address the issue of political violence, one must cease the rhetoric that demonizes opponents, such as labeling them as Nazis or comparing law enforcement to the Gestapo. However, looking at Vance’s own behavior, there appears to be a double standard. He has previously used inflammatory language to criticize others while simultaneously condemning the use of such language in others. Notably, Vance has utilized similar rhetoric, even comparing a former boss to Hitler in a past message.
California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed concerns about the future of democracy during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, accusing the Trump administration of attempting to “rig the midterm elections.” Newsom also criticized the politicization of the Centers for Disease Control and highlighted the upcoming special election on Prop. 50, a redistricting effort that could benefit California Democrats. His appearance coincided with his attendance at Climate Week in New York City and a meeting with former President Bill Clinton.
A 12-foot statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands was erected on the Capitol Mall but was removed by the United States Park Police. The removal, which occurred around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, violated a permit issued by the Department of the Interior (DOI) to the group “The Secret Handshake.” The DOI stated the removal was due to non-compliance with the permit, while “The Secret Handshake” claimed it was a deliberate attempt to suppress free speech related to Trump and the Epstein files. Before its removal, the statue included plaques highlighting the relationship between Trump and Epstein, along with denials of the friendship by Trump himself.
Senator Lindsey Graham expressed hope for Donald Trump to run for a third term in 2028, suggesting “Trump 2028. I hope this never ends” during an interview on Fox News. Graham praised Trump’s performance at the United Nations, echoing the former president’s claims of resolving global conflicts. He also commented on Trump’s approach to Russia, advocating for the end of the war while avoiding humiliation of Russia. This is not the first time Graham has alluded to this idea, having previously mentioned it on social media.
Garnett revealed that the employees had violated a court order outlining rules for counsel, with instructions for the Department of Justice to ensure the Attorney General was aware of and adhered to these guidelines. Mangione’s lawyers presented evidence of public statements from DOJ employees and White House officials they contended had prejudiced his right to a fair trial. Specifically, officials linked Mangione to unrelated acts of violence. One such instance was a social media post by a deputy director of the DOJ’s Office of Public Affairs, which was subsequently shared and deleted by the chief of staff and associate deputy attorney general.
