Former Republican strategist Rick Wilson warned Tuesday that President Donald Trump's health is declining and the White House is concealing the reality through a coordinated cover-up. In his Substack post, "Trump Is Dying," Wilson compared the deception to Edith Wilson forging her husband's signature in 1919, citing "memos," claims of "excellent health," and "careful staging" to obscure Trump's diminished condition. Wilson accused White House officials, including Karoline Leavitt and Stephen Cheung, of lying about Trump's condition without accountability. He also criticized media outlets for "flinching" from covering Trump's health with accuracy. Wilson noted Trump's appearance — a 79-year-old with swollen extremities and bruised hands — alongside his falling approval ratings and contentious base concerns about grocery prices."There is no third act," said Wilson."There is only the long, undignified, makeup-smeared decline of a man and a movement whose moment has passed, narrating itself ever more loudly into an ever emptier hall, a frowzy barfly of a man, replaying past glories that never happened and hoping you won’t notice the bad wig."Watch the video below.

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after President Donald Trump removed her from the Justice Department last month, according to Axios.Bondi, 60, underwent treatment and is recovering, a source told the outlet. The diagnosis came weeks after Trump ousted her as AG in early April — a departure he framed warmly in a Truth Social post calling her "a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend."Katie Miller, a former White House communications staffer and wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, effectively confirmed the news Tuesday evening when she posted on X: "Pam has been quietly kicking cancer's ass the last few weeks."Miller added that Bondi "has a heart of gold."Despite the health battle, Bondi is now returning to the fold. Trump has appointed her to the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a high-profile AI policy panel co-chaired by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and science adviser Michael Kratsios. The panel also includes tech heavyweights like Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.Bondi will be tasked with facilitating coordination between the federal government and the tech executives on the panel. She will also serve in a newly established advisory role focused on national infrastructure."Pam has been an enormously valuable asset to the president's team, and I'm thrilled for her and for all of us that she's going to remain involved," Vice President JD Vance said in a statement to Axios.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has served as acting attorney general since Bondi's departure in early April.

Budget constraints are forcing liberal-leaning states that spend their own money on healthcare for noncitizens to scale back that aid, as they grapple with federal Medicaid cuts and the expiration of federal subsidies that helped people buy Obamacare plans.Under federal law, immigrants who are in the country illegally are not eligible for federally funded health coverage.But as of last month, six states — California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon and Washington — plus the District of Columbia were spending state dollars to cover some income-eligible noncitizen adults regardless of their immigration status. A total of 14 states plus the district provide state-funded coverage to noncitizen children whether they are here legally or not. And three states — Colorado, New Jersey and Vermont — cover pregnant women regardless of their immigration status.In addition, 40 states have taken up options in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, known as CHIP, to provide coverage to lawfully present children and/or pregnant women who are not citizens.But the sweeping tax and spending bill President Donald Trump signed into law last summer cuts federal spending on Medicaid, the joint federal-state health insurance program for low-income people. It also places new eligibility restrictions on lawfully present immigrants, including refugees and asylees, who are enrolled in a variety of government-subsidized health programs, including Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare and plans available on the insurance marketplaces created under the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare.And Congress at the end of last year failed to renew federal subsidies that helped people buy Obamacare plans.With less federal money to provide health benefits, at least five states (California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and Washington) plus the District of Columbia have already scaled back or announced plans to scale back state-funded health benefits for immigrants. Other states also may have to pull back as budget pressures continue.“The federal government shifted much more of the financial burden of providing those services to states. And so states are taking a holistic view at their healthcare budgets and trying to figure out where they can cut,” said Medha Makhlouf, a law professor and the founding director of the Medical-Legal Partnership Clinic at Penn State Dickinson Law, who studies immigrants’ access to healthcare.“Historically and currently, as we’re seeing, immigrants are going to be the first to be cut, for a variety of reasons. They don’t have political power in the same way citizens do.”Drishti Pillai, director of immigrant health policy at KFF, a health policy research group, warned that the state cuts, combined with the federal changes, “will likely increase uninsured rates and reduce access to care among immigrants and their children, most of whom are U.S. citizens.“Over the long-term, these changes could lead to worse health outcomes that could be more complex and expensive to treat,” Pillai said.But Cooper Smith, director of homeland security and immigration at the America First Policy Institute, a conservative think tank that has worked on policy development with the current Trump administration, said that when budgets tighten, policymakers should prioritize U.S. citizens.“Taxpayers pay into a system,” Smith said. “I think it’s reasonable to expect that those who have paid into the system should be the primary beneficiaries of public benefit.”California has traditionally provided some of the most generous benefits. But last June, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a state budget that barred immigrants who are here illegally from newly enrolling in the state’s Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal. In addition, current enrollees between the ages of 19 and 59 will have to pay a new $30 monthly premium beginning in July 2027. And this July, the state will eliminate dental care for noncitizens.Newsom’s budget plan for next year proposes scaling back Medi-Cal coverage for some immigrants living in the country lawfully, including an estimated 200,000 asylees, refugees, and others with certain immigration statuses.California Democratic state Sen. María Elena Durazo is pushing legislation this session that would undo the enrollment freeze and restore access to full-scope Medi-Cal coverage for adults living in the U.S. illegally.“California immigrants are not going to go away,” Durazo said. “We need them. They’re agricultural workers, they’re food workers, they’re construction workers.“Are we going to not provide the minimal basic healthcare coverage and think that somehow it’s not going to come back to haunt us through emergency rooms and other counties and public hospitals?”Hannah Orbach-Mandel, a policy analyst at the nonprofit California Budget and Policy Center, said the state should find alternatives to the cuts, such as raising corporate taxes.
