🇺🇸 Trump’s High Stakes Shift on Russia
In partnership with
Happy Monday, Patriots!
President Trump just made a shocking firing at the Bureau of Labor Statistics — accusing its top official of cooking the books to help Democrats and distort the economy.
Trump says Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, a Biden appointee, “faked the jobs numbers” before the election to boost Kamala Harris and was immediately removed from her post.
The firing follows the worst jobs revision since 2020 — 258,000 positions wiped out from previous reports — fueling Trump’s claim that the swamp has been manipulating data for political gain.

Curated by Mike Luso
Over the weekend, President Trump made a decisive move by repositioning two nuclear submarines in response to aggressive remarks from former Russian President Medvedev, signaling a firm stance as his 10-day deadline for Russia to end the Ukraine conflict approaches. Tensions remain high in what could become a serious standoff, and while Russia has yet to respond to the submarine deployment, the coming days should be very interesting.
Back in Washington, Trump faces relentless legal challenges from the left, while Congress has adjourned for recess without advancing his stalled nominees for key government roles. Yet, despite these roadblocks, Trump is pressing forward with proposals like a tariff-funded rebate aimed at boosting the economy for middle and low-income Americans. It’s a turbulent mix of international pressure and domestic political battles as the president seeks to assert control on multiple fronts.
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
⚖️ Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Faces Court Hurdles
A federal appeals court is reviewing President Trump’s executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants or those on temporary visas. The order’s implementation has been blocked by multiple lower courts, with both the First and Ninth Circuits recently issuing injunctions and ruling the policy unconstitutional. The Supreme Court did not rule on the order’s legality, instead instructing the administration to clarify enforcement plans, but no court has yet sided with the administration as lawsuits from over 22 states and immigrant rights groups continue. New government guidelines indicate parents would need more documentation than a U.S. birth certificate to prove citizenship for children born after the executive order takes effect. The policy remains halted nationwide as legal battles and administrative guidance unfold.
đź’µ Trump Proposes Tariff Revenue Rebates
President Trump is considering a rebate or “dividend” funded by tariff revenue for middle- and low-income Americans, citing record sums now flowing into the Treasury from new tariff policies. He noted that the Treasury collected $29.6 billion in tariff revenue in July and discussed using the funds to reduce the national debt with the possibility of a direct payout to qualifying Americans in the future. Trump pointed out that he initiated major tariffs on China during his first term but was slowed by the pandemic from implementing broader tariffs then. He suggested that under current policies, the nation could see even greater inflows of tariff money. Trump first raised the possibility of these rebates last month and continues to indicate openness to the concept.
🏛️ Senate Leaves Trump Confirmations Unresolved
As Congress departed for its recess, more than 150 of President Trump’s nominees for government positions remain unconfirmed, leaving major administration, judicial, and diplomatic posts vacant. Notable stalled nominations include former National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, nominated for U.S. Ambassador to the UN, and Andrew Puzder, awaiting confirmation as Ambassador to the EU. Key posts at the Department of Justice and several U.S. Attorney roles in states like Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota are also held up. Only a handful of nominations, such as Jeanine Pirro as U.S. Attorney for D.C., were confirmed before the break, while interim prosecutors face the end of their temporary terms. The Senate left with no bipartisan agreement on expediting the rest, as leaders disagreed over whether to overhaul current confirmation rules amid accusations of excessive partisanship and unqualified nominees.
🌏 Cambodia Backs Trump Nobel Peace Nomination
Cambodia will nominate President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after his efforts helped bring an end to the country’s recent border conflict with Thailand. Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol credited Trump with urging a ceasefire and threatening to halt U.S. trade with both nations unless the fighting stopped, leading to a successful accord brokered in Malaysia. The truce ended the heaviest fighting in over a decade, which killed at least 43 people and displaced more than 300,000. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Pakistani officials have also cited Trump’s role in regional peace as worthy of Nobel recognition in other instances. Cambodia’s government expressed gratitude for Trump’s role in reducing threatened tariffs on the country’s key garment sector, further supporting their nomination decision.

🔔 Trump’s High-Stakes Shift on Russia 🔔
President Trump announced a major escalation in his approach to Russia by ordering two U.S. nuclear submarines to be repositioned. The decision was a response to incendiary remarks from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who criticized Trump’s new accelerated deadline for Russia to end its war in Ukraine. The submarines were directed to “appropriate regions,” with Trump warning that provocative words from Russian officials could have serious consequences and stating that his decision is timed to the ongoing standoff between Washington and Moscow. This move comes as Trump shortened his previous 50-day ultimatum to just 10 days for Russia to reach a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine, with the deadline expiring soon.
Special envoy Steve Witkoff is set to travel to Russia this week as part of a last-ditch push for a peaceful resolution, following reports that Russia has largely ignored previous U.S. ultimatums. Trump explained to reporters that sanctions and sweeping secondary tariffs will target not only Russia, but also foreign countries that continue to import Russian oil if Moscow fails to comply. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s top adviser publicly urged the Trump administration to tighten the economic squeeze on Russia, making clear Kyiv supports the ratcheting up of pressure through additional measures. Currently, China and India remain significant buyers of Russian energy, so Trump’s strategy would have ripple effects across major global economies if implemented.
Meanwhile, the conflict in Ukraine has continued with mutual airstrikes intensifying, and the Ukrainian leadership believes that additional U.S. economic measures could be decisive. Trump has shown mounting frustration with Russia’s evasion of sanctions, dismissing past measures as insufficient to break the Kremlin’s will. The administration’s tactics now rely on a blend of military deterrence, diplomatic negotiation, and tough economic threats to force Moscow’s hand before the self-imposed deadline. Trump has repeatedly called President Putin and his team “wily” in their ability to circumvent sanctions and insisted that stronger, more comprehensive efforts are needed to push Russia towards peace.
A new administration guidance package on forthcoming sanctions details how U.S. agencies would coordinate to track oil shipments, enforce asset freezes, and penalize financial intermediaries connected to Russian trade. The Treasury has outlined steps to identify and sanction institutions processing Russian payment streams, while the State Department is pressing European allies to prepare contingency measures should Russian exports be squeezed further. American officials have briefed Asian and Middle Eastern partners on likely market disruptions and on mechanisms to access alternative energy sources if needed.
As this high-stakes deadline approaches, Witkoff’s trip marks a critical test of the administration’s multi-pronged approach. Major European capitals and financial markets are watching closely, given the potential disruption to energy trade should new U.S. tariffs or secondary sanctions materialize. With powerful U.S. military assets now visibly shifted and new direct talks being launched, Trump has made clear that he expects rapid movement from Moscow. Ukraine’s leadership supports further escalation of financial pressure, arguing that the Russian economy remains vulnerable to coordinated Western action.
The administration’s next moves will not only test the effectiveness of sanctions, but also the credibility of threats involving U.S. economic power, stakes that remain high for American security, global markets, and the outcome of the Ukraine conflict as Trump’s deadline ticks down.
🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟
⚖️ Newly declassified Justice Department documents suggest George Soros and Hillary Clinton’s campaign were involved in orchestrating the Trump-Russia collusion narrative before the 2016 election. The documents include emails from a Soros Foundation official outlining plans to spread the collusion theory through FBI-linked organizations to major U.S. media outlets. While the FBI used the Steele dossier funded by Clinton’s campaign to obtain surveillance warrants, the report indicates the Clinton side may have played a role in promoting false stories about Trump’s ties to Russia.
🔥 President Trump endorsed Senator Joe Gruters, a MAGA-supporting candidate for Republican National Committee chair following the announcement that Josh Hawley would run for Senate instead of continuing his RNC bid. The endorsed candidate is described by Trump as a "true warrior" committed to defending the party’s conservative principles and MAGA movement’s core agenda. Trump’s endorsement aims to shape the GOP leadership, signaling his vision of the party’s direction heading into upcoming elections.
🚫 Multiple Democrat-led states filed lawsuits against the Trump administration’s decision to cut Medicaid funding for gender-affirming surgeries performed on minors, arguing the policy unlawfully discriminates against transgender youth and restricts medically necessary care. The states claim the administration’s move violates federal anti-discrimination laws, and they are seeking injunctions to halt enforcement of the funding restrictions. The policy change specifically prohibits the use of Medicaid funds for surgeries such as chest reconstruction and genital procedures for individuals under 18 across all states receiving federal healthcare funding.
⚔️ President Trump publicly urged Republicans to "vote the exact opposite" of Maine Senator Susan Collins, criticizing her standing against key GOP legislative priorities. Collins has voted against major Trump-backed bills this year, including a large tax and spending measure and a $9 billion rescission package, drawing Trump’s ire for opposing what the party’s agenda. Trump’s remarks are an attempt to bring cohesion to the Republican Party, as Collins maintains a more moderate stance in a state Democrats are targeting for a potential pickup in 2026.
🔥 President Trump sharply attacked radio host Charlamagne Tha God on Truth Social after Charlamagne appeared on Lara Trump’s Fox News show, where he suggested the Epstein scandal might lead "traditional conservatives" to reclaim the Republican Party from the MAGA movement. Trump called Charlamagne a "low IQ individual" and a "racist sleazebag," questioned why he was allowed to use "God" in his name, and said he knew nothing about Trump or his accomplishments. The post followed Charlamagne’s remarks that the Epstein files have energized the GOP base and may be driving a political shift within the party away from Trump’s influence.
