5 hours agoCenter

President Trump said Friday he doesn’t believe Iran was behind a cyberattack on Minnesota water systems and instead placed the blame on state officials for being “grossly incompetent.” His comments ran counter to reports that U.S. officials suspected Iranian involvement in the coordinated attack on 30 municipal water systems, according to a preliminary assessment shared…

Trump officials 'furious' about new dress code for embattled federal agency: report

Senior Trump administration officials are "furious" about a new dress code for an embattled federal agency, a journalist revealed.In a Friday post on X, reporter Anna Giaritelli shared that senior Trump administration officials and officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are "furious with changes to ICE's dress code."According to reporting by The Intercept, the new dress code bans ICE agents from wearing jeans, sweatshirts, hoodies, non-collared shirts, and T-shirts displaying graphics while they're working in public spaces. Giaritelli wrote in her reporting for the Washington Examiner that the new guidelines went into place on July 17.The Intercept noted in its reporting that the new dress code came "in direct response" to a pair of deadly shootings by ICE agents in Maine and Texas, as well as a botched arrest attempt by two plainclothes ICE agents at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on July 13.Giaritelli posted that senior Trump administration officials and ICE officers are now complaining "it could lead to more assaults against federal police because of how easy they will be to spot in polo shirts and khaki tactical pants."However, online commentators showed their support for the dress code. In an X post reacting to Giaritelli's post, policy analyst Sarah Pierce said, "Heaven forbid the public know that it is a law enforcement officer that is questioning, arresting or shooting them.""I am obviously sympathetic to concerns of officer safety," wrote immigration policy analyst Aaron Reichlin-Melnick. "But I find ICE's claim to need to be in hiding particularly strange in light of every other law enforcement agency in the country that manages to do its job with its officers in uniform."

Trump throws tantrum on Truth Social attacking defiant GOP senator

President Donald Trump posted a lengthy 253-word rant on Truth Social Friday attacking Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) over his opposition to the $1.7 billion taxpayer-funded "anti-weaponization fund" designed to compensate Jan. 6 Capitol riot participants. "Perhaps there has never been a group of people treated so badly in our Nation’s history," Trump wrote. Cornyn has vowed to block Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation until the fund is eliminated. Trump claimed the fund does not benefit him personally but rather "great American Patriots who were hunted down like dogs" by the Biden administration. "They are suffering still, many ruined, and I felt that they should be given compensation for what has been done to them," Trump continued. "I gave up any payments for myself, which would have been substantial, including for the illegal and unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago, my home in Florida, even though many legal experts, and others, including John Cornyn, said it was a shocking and disgusting display of ‘weaponization’ against me.”"I will always feel that these victims of government abuse should be paid back for what they were forced to endure, their lives have been ruined!”Watch the video below.

Trump suffers 'brutal' 19th straight loss in voter roll crusade: report

The Trump administration suffered its 19th straight court loss in its crusade to seize state voter rolls, per a report.An Illinois-based federal judge tossed a Department of Justice lawsuit that demanded the state's unredacted voter rolls. U.S. District Judge Colleen Lawless wrote in her opinion that amending the complaint would be "futile" and dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it can't be revived in district court. Democracy Docket noted in its reporting that the "brutal" loss came two days after another federal judge dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit seeking New Jersey voter rolls. Illinois had already provided the DOJ with its redacted voter rolls, Democracy Docket noted, but the DOJ lawsuit sought sensitive identifying information, including driver's license and Social Security numbers.Lawless stressed, in her opinion, that the attorney general has to state a "legitimate purpose" to demand voter rolls. If an AG could simply justify a demand for voter rolls with a statement of any purpose, the current statutory requirement "would be pointless and it would provide him with unfettered authority to demand voting records."The DOJ argued in its lawsuit that the Civil Rights Act of 1960 requires states to hand over voter rolls and federal voter records that came into their possession. Lawless, however, noted that the executive director of the Illinois Board of Elections created the voter rolls."An ordinary English speaker would not say that she has come into possession of something that she created, established, and maintained," Lawless wrote. "Instead, the election officials are required to preserve records that come into their possession from outside sources."
