Ahead of a speech at Mount Rushmore, President Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social depicting a golden replica of the monument with his face added. During his address, Trump celebrated America’s semiquincentennial and warned against the “mortal threat” of communism. The idea of adding Trump to Mount Rushmore has been a recurring theme, with supporters like Representative Anna Paulina Luna introducing legislation to that effect, despite known space limitations on the mountain.

‘A Literal Coverup’: What Is the Kennedy Center Hiding Behind Those Tarps?
The sight of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts draped in large, imposing tarps has sparked a flurry of speculation and, frankly, outrage. The question on many minds is simple yet loaded: what exactly is being hidden behind those tarps, and why the prolonged secrecy? It’s a situation that feels less like routine renovation and more like a deliberate obfuscation, a literal coverup.
The prevailing theory, echoing across countless conversations, is that Donald Trump’s name, which was added to the center, has either not been removed as ordered, or its removal has left unsightly damage that is now being concealed.… Continue reading
Large tarps continue to cover the Kennedy Center’s exterior, leaving visitors confused and frustrated following the removal of President Donald Trump’s name. The removal was mandated by a federal court order, which found the addition of Trump’s name to the building to be unlawful.

Former President Donald Trump, unlikely to receive a Nobel Peace Prize, sought to obtain one from Maria Corina Machado by feigning support for democracy in Venezuela. This maneuver highlights Trump’s primary motivation: ego. Trump’s actions, from attacking Venezuela to seizing reporters’ devices, demonstrate a growing megalomania that is alarming even some Republicans. While some hope Republican lawmakers will find the courage to challenge him, the author believes some are beyond redemption.

President Trump has publicly accused six members of Congress of being “traitors” for producing a video reminding members of the armed forces that they can refuse illegal orders, going so far as to suggest they should be arrested and put on trial. This reaction underscores Trump’s pattern of viewing criticism as an attack on the state, revealing both his disregard for free speech and his narcissistic tendencies. The video itself, which made reference to controversial actions by Trump, merely reiterated the established legal principle that service members have a duty to disobey unlawful orders. Despite this, Trump’s response shows his habit of equating dissent with treason, as he has done with previous critics, and highlights an authoritarian impulse.

In a recent ruling, a federal judge issued a permanent injunction against President Trump, preventing the deployment of National Guard troops to Oregon. The judge determined the president exceeded his authority in federalizing the Guard, as the criteria for doing so, namely a danger of rebellion and obstruction of federal law enforcement, were not met. The ruling found Trump’s actions violated federal law and the 10th Amendment. The court’s decision, however, does not preclude future deployments if conditions warrant it, and the government is expected to appeal the decision.

In a legal defeat for the Trump administration, a federal judge ruled that the deployment of National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, was unlawful. The ruling, made by U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, permanently blocks the use of military force to quell protests, rejecting the administration’s claim of a rebellion justifying the troops. This decision, which followed an earlier interim order, comes after the city of Portland and the Oregon Attorney General’s Office sued, arguing the administration exaggerated violence to justify the deployment. The Justice Department is likely to appeal the ruling, potentially leading the case to the Supreme Court.

A federal judge in Oregon has issued a permanent injunction preventing the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland to address protests against immigration policies. The judge, appointed during Trump’s term, ruled that the deployment was unjustified because there was no rebellion or inability to execute federal laws. Oregon officials and the California Attorney General celebrated the decision, calling Trump’s actions an abuse of power and a win for the rule of law. The Justice Department, however, immediately appealed the ruling, arguing the deployment was necessary to address violence and protect federal personnel and property, and the case remains ongoing.
