In June 2025, Donald Trump orchestrated a military parade in Washington, D.C., coinciding with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary. Despite large protests and a significant turnout, Trump expressed disappointment with the event, specifically citing issues with the soldiers’ marching. Consequently, the U.S. Navy is now planning a larger celebration this fall, aiming for a more impressive spectacle. The Navy’s plans are underway despite a lack of announcement, while other branches like the Marine Corps have no such parades planned.

As the Trump administration considers expanding military deployments to liberal cities, troops carrying out these actions may face prosecution. Several Democratic leaders, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, have vowed to pursue local or state charges against any federal officials who violate residents’ rights. These local prosecutions cannot be overturned by a presidential pardon. This possibility of accountability might discourage some troops from engaging in potentially oppressive actions, despite the president’s directives.

In a recent interview, Vice President JD Vance deflected criticism regarding President Trump’s refusal to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, instead blaming the Biden administration for failing to release such information. Vance asserted that Trump has been transparent on the issue, despite the fact that the Trump administration stated earlier this summer that there was nothing else to release, including any “client list.” The backlash stems from the initial promises to release the files, despite the fact that Epstein’s arrest, death, and the subsequent controversy occurred during the Trump administration, before Biden took office. Vance also cited a recent interview with Ghislaine Maxwell, in which she denied the existence of a “client list” and vouched for Trump’s character.

Former President Donald Trump has revoked the Secret Service protection of former Vice President Kamala Harris, effective September 1, 2025, according to a letter.

The ramifications of the cancellation include the loss of constant threat intelligence analysis and protection, as well as the potential high cost of private security.

Washington Senator Patty Murray has demanded the Trump administration provide immediate answers regarding the detention of two firefighters by border agents at the Bear Gulch wildfire. Federal immigration authorities arrested the firefighters during an operation on the fire scene, leading to widespread condemnation and calls for clarification of the administration’s policy regarding immigration enforcement during such events. While the Border Patrol stated that the operation assisted the Bureau of Land Management after a contract termination, Murray criticized the action and the administration’s broader policies, citing undercutting of firefighting capabilities and the alleged detention of individuals from lawful green card holders to American citizens.

Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has labeled former U.S. President Donald Trump a “Russian asset” due to his perceived soft stance on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trump has been criticized for his inconsistent statements on the war, often targeting Ukrainian President Zelensky while failing to fully implement sanctions against Russia. De Sousa claims that Trump’s actions suggest he only wants to negotiate with Russia, effectively favoring the Russian Federation. This assessment follows Trump’s recent Alaska summit with Putin, which failed to secure a ceasefire.

Braxton’s triumph, with 66 votes to his opponent’s 26, is seen as a resounding endorsement of his leadership and a clear statement of the town’s desires.
