Mary Trump Says Trump Is Decompensating in Real Time

Mary Trump, a psychologist and longtime critic, says her uncle Donald Trump is “decompensating in real time” after a Sunday rampage of AI-generated Truth Social posts—ranging from Space Force-inspired uniforms to an Iran map—sparking renewed calls from critics for invoking the 25th Amendment and questions about his mental fitness. The piece notes ongoing concerns about Trump’s health and behavior, including a pattern of high‑volume posting at odd hours, while describing the wider political push to remove him from office if deemed unable to discharge his duties. The White House had not commented at publication.

GOP Split Over Trump's Tariff Push Ahead of Midterms

With midterms looming, Republicans are pushing back on Trump's tariff push—importing tariff-free Canadian meat and slapping 50% levies on $20B of Canadian goods—arguing it would raise U.S. prices and hit voters hard. Senators like Susan Collins and Rep. Ashley Hinson criticized the move; the Wall Street Journal called it dumb. Canada vows retaliation, polls show Democrats ahead on the economy, and some GOP voices are trying to distance themselves from Trump on the issue.

Kimmel: Trump’s Attacks Hardened Him, Not His Resolve

Jimmy Kimmel says Trump’s taunts haven’t rattled him and have instead hardened his resolve, a stance he attributes in part to aging and past financial hardship; his wife Molly McNearney notes she’s more affected by the president’s targeting. The pair discuss how Trump repeatedly urged ABC to fire Kimmel, including a suspension that occurred during a MAGA moment, and Kimmel’s return to air with strong ratings. The First Lady’s calls to cancel his show are mentioned, but Kimmel keeps perspective on the bigger personal challenges he faced early in his career.

DC National Guard Deployment Under Fire as Costs Mount and Crime Drops Remain Elusive

A year into President Trump’s DC National Guard deployment, several troops say they’re embarrassed by the mission and skeptical of its purpose. The operation has cost about $3 million daily with billions projected if extended, and it has claimed a toll including the death of a Guard member. Despite Trump’s framing of a crime crackdown, CAP analysis finds no measurable drop in violent crime, prompting backlash and a harsh response from the White House.

Trump’s 1AM Truth Social Spree Triggers Sleep Talk and Aide Involvement

Trump, 80, spent an insomnia-fueled hour on Truth Social, posting eight times between 12:30 a.m. and 1:20 a.m. on topics like Iran, the 2024 elections, and Western civilization; the posts were largely shared content rather than written by him, with his aide Natalie Harp (and Dan Scavino) having access and Harp often dictating messages, raising questions about sleep patterns, influence, and security-clearance issues after a Washington appearance.

GOP Pushback Grows Over Trump's Imported Beef Plan

Republican lawmakers and cattle producers blasted Donald Trump’s plan to import up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef for 90 days with no out-of-quota tariffs, arguing it would hurt domestic ranchers and markets even as Trump says it will lower prices and help the beef herd; critics including Sen. Tom Cotton, Rep. Dawson Holle, and former advisor Charles Herbster urged a rethink, noting beef prices remain high despite his message.

Lincoln Limping Home: Grueling Iran War Deployment Ends for U.S. Carrier

The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is returning to San Diego after a roughly nine-month deployment tied to the Trump administration’s Iran conflict, having spent about 272 days at sea and been replaced by the USS George Washington. Crew of roughly 5,000 faced deteriorating conditions—moldy showers, shortages of food and essentials, and mounting mental-health strain—with reports of suicide attempts; Democrats are demanding accountability while the Navy says conditions remain under management. The Lincoln’s voyage covers about 13,000 miles and is expected to take four to five weeks more, prompting scrutiny over whether such deployments can be sustained at this tempo.

Trump Bets on SCOTUS to Save the White House Ballroom

Trump asks the Supreme Court to allow the White House ballroom to proceed, arguing the project is part of a bomb- and missile-resistant complex needed for national security; a court filing says the structure uses nuclear-grade concrete and can’t be easily deconstructed, while opponents say the administration is rushing construction to outrun judicial review as the $400 million project faces a Friday deadline for a ruling.

Voters Push Back as Trump’s Deportation Drive Fails to Win Support

A Politico poll cited by The Daily Beast shows about 50% of Americans view the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign as too aggressive, with non-MAGA voters more likely to oppose it. Despite changes aimed at keeping ICE out of the headlines after Kristi Noem’s ouster and Markwayne Mullin’s pledge to ease public displays of enforcement, the public opinion shift has been minimal with midterms looming, underscoring a potential Republican vulnerability on immigration.

GOP Base Drifts Away as Polls Signal Trump Weakening

New polling shows Trump losing support within his own party ahead of the midterms, with about 79% of Republicans approving of his performance (down from earlier levels) and a growing share of non-MAGA Republicans turning away; analysts say GOP voters are tuning him out, driven by concerns over the Iran war and rising gas prices, which could complicate Republicans' path to November.
