The ACLU and other prominent legal groups have pledged to challenge the order in court, anticipating extensive legal battles. Critics argue the order is an unconstitutional power grab designed to undermine the 2026 midterm elections.

President Trump’s sweeping executive order seeks to dramatically expand federal control over elections, potentially disenfranchising millions of voters. The order attempts to restrict voter registration, punish states allowing late-arriving ballots, and utilize federal databases to review state voter rolls, ostensibly to combat rare instances of non-citizen voting. This action is expected to face immediate legal challenges, with several Democratic officials already vowing to sue. The order also directs changes to voter registration procedures and voting system certifications, significantly altering the EAC’s role. Critics argue the order is a politically motivated attempt to suppress voter turnout.

Recent polling data reveals a significant drop in President Trump’s approval rating among baby boomers, a key demographic instrumental to his 2024 victory. This decline, particularly pronounced between March 9th and 18th, correlates with concerns over potential cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, despite Trump’s assurances to the contrary. The decrease in support is substantial enough to potentially hinder the administration’s legislative agenda. Experts note that while sample sizes within this age group are relatively small, the rapid shift in sentiment is noteworthy.

Top Trump administration officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, national security adviser Mike Waltz, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, are under scrutiny for a security breach. They inadvertently shared highly classified information about Yemen military strikes via a messaging app, including The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief. This action constitutes a significant security lapse and may violate the Espionage Act. Ironically, these officials previously publicly criticized others, particularly Hillary Clinton, for mishandling classified information. The National Security Council confirmed the authenticity of the leaked messages.

A leaked conversation among top Trump administration officials revealed significant disagreement regarding a potential strike against the Houthis in Yemen. While the strike was ostensibly for protecting maritime trade and countering Iran, Vice President Vance argued for delaying it, citing the disproportionate impact on European trade and the need for clearer messaging to justify US intervention. Vance’s stance reflects his broader Euroscepticism and belief that the US disproportionately shoulders European security burdens, a view shared by other officials but ultimately overruled by President Trump. This incident underscores growing concerns among European leaders about Vance’s influence and his potentially damaging impact on US-European relations.
