Trump Reverses Course, Urges GOP Base to Vote by Mail Ahead of Midterms

President Donald Trump has reversed his long-standing opposition to mail-in voting, urging his supporters to vote early or by mail for the November 3, 2026, midterm elections. In a video posted to Truth Social, he directed voters to 'swampthevoteusa.com' and emphasized the importance of defeating the Democratic Party. This shift follows recent Supreme Court rulings that blocked his executive order to restrict mail ballots, marking a stark contrast to his previous claims that mail voting was inherently corrupt.

Truth API Draws Criminal and Civil Fire as Prosecutors and California Challenge Trump Media

A coalition of 53 former federal prosecutors and agents has filed an amicus brief in a federal lawsuit against Trump Media & Technology Group, arguing that the 'Truth API' service, which charges $100,000 monthly for early access to presidential posts, likely violates federal securities and anti-corruption laws. Simultaneously, San Francisco has sued the company in state court, alleging the scheme violates California’s Unfair Competition Law by creating a marketplace for insider trading.

Trump Admits Iran War Isn’t Won, Undermining Prior Boasts

Donald Trump acknowledged on Truth Social that the U.S. hasn’t won the war with Iran, contradicting a pattern of previous victory claims that stretched back to the early strikes. While he had predicted a quick end and falling oil prices, the conflict has persisted for over six months, with U.S. casualties (at least 18 killed, 750+ wounded) and a mounting cost (about $37.5 billion by July). The piece notes a Daily Beast analysis showing he boasted about ‘wins’ dozens of times, underscoring a mismatch between his promises and the ongoing reality.
