When it comes to the mainstream media, President Donald Trump has never gotten a fair shake. Unfortunately for his detractors in the press, however, the president is not afraid to call out their biased behavior. And CBS News can attest to how costly it can be when he makes good on his threats: Donald J. Trump Truth Social 07.22.25 02:10 PM EST BREAKING NEWS!

Trump Posts From Truth Social (@TrumpDailyPosts) July 22, 2025 And this week kicked off with yet another example of the sort of reporting Trump felt the need to call out, as The Hill reported: The president said their reporting was “TREASONOUS” and said the article in question would be added to his lawsuit against the company.  “The headline in the Corrupt and Failing New York Times: ‘What Changed After Almost 4 Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much.’ REALLY?” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Their Military is DONE, their Navy is GONE, their Air Force is GONE, their Launching Pads, Missiles, Drones and Manufacturing of same, is almost GONE, their top two sets of Leaders are GONE, their Inflation is at 250%, their Economy is BROKEN, their Soldiers aren’t being paid, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN, THE OIL IS GUSHING, and the U.S. Stock Market and Jobs are at record HIGHS,” he added.  In a separate post, Trump includes a screenshot of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) bashing the New York Times for alleging the president’s Iran war wasn’t as impactful as portrayed. Here’s that post: Spot on, Mr. President. To say nothing has changed after Operations Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury is an insult to our men and women in uniform.

Davis (@pdavedavis57) June 22, 2026 Here’s some additional coverage via Newsweek: Trump’s new remarks came after he criticized a Times analysis suggesting months of conflict had changed little strategically, while Trump claimed Iran’s military and economy had been severely damaged. The Times has previously said Trump’s lawsuit is without merit and an attempt to stifle independent reporting. In another post earlier on Sunday, Trump criticized a Times article published that day under the headline “What Changed After Almost 4 Months of War? Analysts Say Not Much.” He rejected the analysis, claiming Iran’s military and economy had been severely damaged, the Strait of Hormuz remained open and U.S. markets and jobs were at “record HIGHS.” He also accused the newspaper of being “corrupt and unethical.” Newsweek contacted attorneys for Trump and the New York Times via email outside of regular office hours on Monday. Trump has repeatedly clashed with reporters and news outlets since returning to office last year, He previously filed suits against ABC News and CBS News’ 60 Minutes, both of which were settled out of court by the news organizations’ parent companies. Trump also filed a lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, after the newspaper published a story reporting on his ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Last week, Trump signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran to end the war. The interim agreement calls for a permanent end to hostilities and starts a 60-day negotiating clock to reach a final deal on the future of Iran’s nuclear program.

Wildfires have once again hit California. On Saturday, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency after a warehouse caught fire in Los Angeles. The fire began at the Lineage Logistics warehouse and firefighters have been attempting to put out the fire for days. Here is the scene: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency as crews continue to battle a fire that started days ago at a cold storage facility in Los Angeles. https://t.co/gHARDXflhW pic.twitter.com/qx7pqnXQbL — ABC News (@ABC) June 21, 2026 Boyle Heights Fire Enters Day 5 as Massive Smoke Plume Continues to Impact Los Angeles. #newsalert #boyleheights #losangeles #california #gavinnewsom #karenbass #eastla #fire pic.twitter.com/mzTTwFfCQd — RightNowViews (@Right_Now_Views) June 21, 2026 Read the press release from Newsom’s Office below: Governor Gavin Newsom today proclaimed a State of Emergency for Los Angeles County in response to the ongoing warehouse fire in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles, directing state agencies to support local response efforts and help protect public health and safety. The emergency proclamation authorizes the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) and state agencies to provide additional assistance and resources as needed to support response and recovery efforts and mitigate impacts to surrounding communities. California is mobilizing to support Los Angeles as firefighters and emergency personnel continue their work to contain this fire and protect surrounding communities. While local officials continue to lead this response, the State of California is prepared to help safeguard public health, support emergency operations, and assist impacted residents. We are coordinating closely with our local partners, deploying specialized expertise, and pre-positioning critical supplies so communities have the support they need both now and throughout recovery. The State of Emergency proclamation directs state agencies to coordinate closely with local partners, provide emergency management support, suspends public contracting rules for emergency response resources, and help expedite access to resources necessary to support response and recovery operations. “Cal OES is working side-by-side with the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Emergency Management Department, Los Angeles Fire Department, and our regional partners to ensure they have the resources, information, and support necessary to respond to this incident,” said Cal OES Director Caroline Thomas Jacobs “The State of Emergency allows us to further streamline coordination efforts and leverage additional state capabilities as needed. Our focus remains on protecting communities and supporting locally led response operations.” Smoke from the blaze has caused visibility issues across Los Angeles: The smoke from the nearby Boyle Heights warehouse fire has enshrouded Dodger Stadium in an acrid, nasty haze.

This is huge! Right-wing candidate Abelardo De la Espriella has just won Colombia’s presidential election, defeating Marxist socialist Ivan Cepeda. Similarly to President Bukele in El Salvador, he ran on a campaign of cracking down on crime and the cartels. He promised to “disembowel” the Left in Columbia and work with President Trump, unlike the South American country’s current leadership. Earlier this month, President Trump gave De la Espriella his full endorsement. After De la Espriella’s win, President Trump congratulated him in a post on Truth Social. Check it out: AWESOME!

Colombia is going CRAZY tonight, patriots in charge https://t.co/reYLVuKa50 pic.twitter.com/ATDLA4dWRt — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 22, 2026 The New York Times reported further on De la Espriella’s win and the celebrations happening in Columbia: Abelardo De La Espriella, a criminal defense lawyer with no previous political experience, appeared headed for a razor-thin victory on Sunday in Colombia’s presidential election, in what would be a win for his fervent supporters, the global right and President Trump, who had endorsed him. Mr. De La Espriella — who transformed himself from sharply dressed Miami lawyer to populist in a soccer jersey and a straw hat — won 49.7 percent of the vote with more than 99 percent of the votes counted, according to preliminary official results. Iván Cepeda, a leftist senator and a longtime human rights advocate received 48.7 percent. His victory would return Colombia to conservative rule after four years under Gustavo Petro, the country’s first leftist president. It would also advance Latin America’s broader shift to the right in Mr. Trump’s second term. As word of the results spread, Bogotá, the capital, exploded with the din of shouts, car horns and vuvuzelas. People rushed into the streets, whether to celebrate or to march in opposition. President Petro said online that there would be “no president” until the votes had been scrutinized, which is the usual process — but cries of “Out with Petro” filled the air. In Barranquilla, on Colombia’s Caribbean Coast, fireworks erupted and supporters of Mr. De La Espriella waved flares as they waited for him to appear. Speaking to a news outlet, Mr. De La Espriella said, “We defeated the regime.” Mr. Cepeda told supporters in Bogotá that he would await the full vote review but accepted the preliminary results. Remarking on the millions who voted for his leftist government, Mr. Cepeda said, “We stand before the Colombian people to tell you that we are an undeniable force in Colombia.” This is a massive win… However, the battle isn’t quite over, yet. Current Columbian President Petro is already trying to overturn the victory, as the socialist party strives to retain its power. ABC News noted: Colombia’s current president, Gustavo Petro, cast doubt on the election results on social media, citing alleged “irregularities” at polling stations. Elizabeth Dickinson, Bogotá-based deputy director for Latin America at the International Crisis Group, said that half of Colombians voted for a “hard-handed security crackdown,” while she said the other half voted for social and economic reforms. “Colombians voted for two extremes, and whoever governs is going to have to find a midpoint that unites the country,” Dickinson told ABC News. If confirmed, De la Espriella would become one of the most outspoken conservative leaders in Latin America and is expected to strengthen ties with the Trump administration. As long as tonight’s election results in Columbia are certified, this will be a wonderful thing for both their country and ours. It’s also the latest sign that South America is finally shifting away from socialism, at large.

The Supreme Court is sitting on two cases that could decide how much control President Trump has over the federal agencies that operate outside his direct command. One case targets a 91-year-old precedent that has protected independent agency officials from removal. The other could leave the Federal Reserve standing as a special exception. Together, they go straight to the heart of executive power and the sprawling administrative state. The central question is simple: can a president fire the officials who run powerful agencies without giving a reason Congress already approved? For decades, the answer has mostly been no. Trump is asking the Court to change that. Fox News laid out the split between the two cases and why the justices may not treat them the same way. The first case, Trump v. Slaughter, involves former FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, whom Trump removed after returning to office. The fight is whether the for-cause removal protections Congress wrote for FTC commissioners violate the separation of powers. That puts Humphrey’s Executor directly in the crosshairs. The 1935 ruling said a president could not fire FTC commissioners at will, and it became the legal foundation for the modern independent-agency model. Fox News also highlighted the Cook distinction. That case involves Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and asks whether Trump had a valid for-cause reason to remove her, which is a narrower question than whether the protection itself can survive. That difference could let the justices expand presidential control over agencies like the FTC while still preserving a measure of independence for the central bank. The likely split is important. Slaughter asks whether the protection itself is constitutional, while Cook asks whether the president satisfied a protection that already exists. The procedural posture of the Cook case shows how carefully the Court is handling the Fed question. The Supreme Court docket identifies the matter as case number 25A312, Trump versus Cook, involving Lisa Cook’s seat on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The application was docketed on September 18, 2025, after proceedings in the District of Columbia Circuit. It began as an emergency stay request, not as a normal slow-moving merits appeal. On October 1, the justices deferred the application pending oral argument instead of quickly granting or denying the emergency request. That move kept the Fed issue alive for fuller review. The case was set for argument on January 21, 2026, with Solicitor General Sauer arguing for Trump and former Solicitor General Paul Clement representing Cook. The docket moved the Fed fight onto the regular argument calendar, giving both sides a public showdown before the full Court. That timeline shows the justices treated the removal fight as more than a fast emergency dispute. They kept the case alive for a deeper look at presidential authority over the central bank, with the decision expected to land before the term ends. That full-argument treatment matters because the Fed is no ordinary agency. Its independence has long been treated as a stabilizing force for markets, interest rates, and monetary policy. The Slaughter case carries the broader administrative-state stakes. The Supreme Court order shows the justices granted a stay and treated the Trump administration’s application as a petition before judgment. The Court agreed to consider whether the FTC’s removal protections violate separation of powers and whether Humphrey’s Executor should be overruled. That is the heart of the 91-year-old rule now on the line. The order also asks whether federal courts can prevent a person’s removal from public office through equitable or legal relief. In plain English, that means whether a judge can put a fired official back in power. Justice Elena Kagan dissented with Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, warning that the stay allowed the president to remove a protected FTC commissioner while Congress had said differently. That last question matters because lower courts have repeatedly tried to reinstate officials the president removed. A clear ruling would tell those judges where their power ends. None of this has been decided on the merits yet. But the direction of the fight is obvious: the Court is weighing whether a Depression-era rule still fits a constitutional system with one elected chief executive accountable for the executive branch. For Trump, the upside is real. A win in Slaughter would give him and future presidents far more authority over agencies that write rules, levy penalties, and shape American life while standing partly outside direct presidential control. The likely outcome is not that every independent agency disappears overnight. It is that the wall of insulation built over nearly a century gets lower, and a president gains real power to remove officials who answer to no voter. The Fed may keep its carveout. The rest of the administrative state may finally have to answer to the elected branch that runs it. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.

Tim Walz is finishing his time as governor of Minnesota underwater with his own voters. The latest Minnesota Poll puts Walz at 39% approval and 53% disapproval, with 8% unsure. That is the lowest mark of his eight-year tenure, and a 10-point drop from the year before. In the same survey, President Trump sits at 41% approval in Minnesota. A Democrat governor now polls behind a Republican president in a state Democrats have carried in every presidential election since 1972. The 39% number is already being used as a campaign weapon in Minnesota. Tim Walz has a 39% approval rating. Nobody wants his endorsement. But it’s mostly funny because Hakeem Jeffries has a 28% approval rating and she’s bragging about it. https://t.co/JWOaWWfeHw — Dustin Grage (@GrageDustin) June 20, 2026 The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that Walz is now facing the lowest approval rating of his eight-year tenure as he prepares to leave office. The paper tied the collapse to the damage Minnesota’s fraud scandals have done to his political reputation. The poll found a majority of likely Minnesota voters disapprove of his performance, while his approval has dropped 10 points from last year. That is a steep slide for a two-term governor in a state his party normally expects to defend. The paper also noted that Walz has lost ground inside his own coalition. That matters because the problem is no longer limited to Republicans who already opposed him. Last year, 91% of Minnesota voters who backed Kamala Harris approved of Walz. Now that number is 69%, a warning sign for Democrats trying to run away from his record this fall. That is the kind of erosion a party cannot hide with national talking points. The poll was conducted June 8-10, 2026, among 800 likely Minnesota voters by Mason-Dixon Polling and Strategy for the Star Tribune, KARE 11, and the University of Minnesota Hubbard School of Journalism. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The sample broke down to 38% Democrat, 31% Republican, and 31% independent or other. That last detail makes the number harder to explain away. This is a Democrat-leaning sample, and Walz still cratered. Fox News added the internal split that shows where the damage is coming from. Its report placed the polling in the middle of the fraud backlash that has followed Walz into his final months in office. Only 1% of Republicans approved of Walz, along with 73% of Democrats and 32% of independents. Losing two-thirds of independents is how a governor ends up below 40% in a friendly state. Fox News also reported that 45% of voters said they trust Republicans to fix fraud, while 38% chose Democrats and 14% chose neither. That gives Republicans a seven-point edge on the issue driving the scandal. That is the political danger for Democrats. The party now has to defend a governor’s approval rating and voters’ trust in state government. The scandal has moved from committee hearings and court cases into voter trust. The outlet also pointed to another sore spot in Minnesota politics: the state flag backed by Walz. Half of voters said they disapprove of the redesign, while only about a third approve. Put it together and Fox’s read is simple: Walz is losing on job performance, fraud credibility, and symbols of state identity at the same time. A separate KSTP/SurveyUSA poll found the public mood on fraud is even sharper. That survey drilled into blame, severity, and whether Minnesota leaders are taking the problem seriously. When voters were asked who deserves the most blame for Minnesota’s widespread fraud issues, 36% blamed the criminals themselves and 33% blamed Walz. Another 13% blamed the Legislature, while 17% said someone else or were unsure. The same poll found 73% said Walz needs to do more to stop fraud and 76% said state lawmakers need to do more. KSTP noted that less than 15% believed those branches had done enough. On severity, 23% called fraud the single biggest problem in Minnesota and 58% called it a major problem. Only 12% called it minor, which means the scandal has broken through as a day-to-day voter issue. Add those together and roughly four out of five voters see taxpayer fraud as a serious issue in their state. That moves it past a narrow partisan complaint and into a statewide confidence problem. The scrutiny extends beyond voter surveys. The House Oversight Committee released a June staff report alleging that senior Minnesota officials, including Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, knew of widespread fraud in taxpayer-funded social programs and failed to act. The committee said its report drew from testimony and documents alleging that state leaders had authority to stop payments, ban fraudulent providers, and respond to warnings, but repeatedly failed to do so. The report’s title accused Walz and Ellison of fueling Minnesota’s fraud explosion. It also alleged that employees who tried to protect taxpayer funds faced retaliation, allowing schemes to grow inside programs meant for vulnerable people. Those allegations put the polling in a sharper frame. That is why the numbers matter. The report gave Republicans a paper trail; the polls suggest voters are listening. Those are allegations, not adjudicated findings. Walz and Ellison have called the Republican-led scrutiny politically motivated in earlier coverage. But voters appear to have made up their minds about who they trust on the problem, and the answer is not the people in charge. Minnesota Republicans are happy to drive the point home as Walz’s term winds down. Tim Walz’s legacy: fraud, fires, and failure. https://t.co/AJD04iCc2h — Tom Emmer (@GOPMajorityWhip) June 20, 2026 Walz spent a national campaign cycle selling himself as the friendly face of Democrat governance. The voters who know him best just told a very different story. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.
