The Washington Post’s report that President Trump is poised to seize control of the United States Postal Service (USPS) and dismiss its governing board is deeply concerning. This action, potentially executed via an executive order this week, would effectively place the independent mail agency under the Commerce Department’s authority.
This move represents a significant departure from the USPS’s traditional independence. The agency’s self-funding nature—receiving zero taxpayer dollars—further underscores the lack of any apparent financial justification for such drastic intervention. The very idea of absorbing the USPS into the administration raises serious questions about government overreach and the potential for partisan influence over a service that should remain neutral and accessible to all Americans.… Continue reading
Following a “60 Minutes” report on USAID, Elon Musk accused the program of deceptive editing and election interference, calling for its staff to face prison sentences. This follows President Trump’s own call for the show’s termination, stemming from a lawsuit alleging deceptive editing of a Vice President Harris interview. CBS maintains the edits were truthful and informative, and recently released unedited footage. The network is reportedly considering a settlement, despite internal concerns about potential further legal repercussions. Musk’s attack further escalates the ongoing conflict between the Trump administration and CBS.

At the Munich Security Conference, Vice President JD Vance controversially argued that the greatest threat to America’s European allies is internal, downplaying foreign election interference. He asserted that easily swayed democracies are inherently weak and that expressing opinions, even from influential foreign actors, doesn’t constitute interference. His remarks were sharply criticized by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius as unacceptable, particularly given the rise of the far-right AfD party in Germany. Vance’s speech, which minimized the impact of Russian meddling, was widely mocked on social media.

President Trump’s amended lawsuit against CBS News, now co-filed with Rep. Ronny Jackson, alleges deceptive editing of a Kamala Harris “60 Minutes” interview, increasing the damages sought from $10 billion to $20 billion. The suit claims this editing constituted unfair competition under the Lanham Act, aiming to boost Harris’s appeal and harm Trump’s Truth Social platform. The complaint cites “doctored” footage presented as misleading advertising, violating both the Lanham Act and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. This amended complaint, filed in Texas, includes a new claim of election interference and adds Jackson as a plaintiff affected by the alleged deceptive practices.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s confirmation was highly controversial due to her election denialism, bribery allegations, and past failures. Further raising concerns, Bondi’s resume uniquely includes work as a registered foreign agent for Qatar, a fact seemingly overlooked during her Senate confirmation.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report details Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to subvert the 2020 election, including pressuring officials to alter vote counts and incite violence on January 6th.
