This week, Americans head to the polls in what could be one of the most consequential elections in modern American history. From Washington DC to Mississippi, South Carolina, New York, Tennessee and Colorado, Four Corners reporter Mark Willacy investigates whether the greatest threat to the elections comes from within the Trump administration itself. Donald Trump may not be on the ballot, but the election is a referendum on his presidency. With his approval rating at a record low, Trump is rallying his MAGA base, warning of electoral fraud and impeachment if the Democrats take control of Congress. Former Trump insiders are sounding the alarm over efforts to undermine confidence in the vote, including the prospect of ICE agents being deployed at polling places. Their warning: a desperate president could go to extraordinary lengths to cling to power.

The United States has fired its top military planner, The Atlantic reported Wednesday, in a surprise shake-up as President Donald Trump appears to be preparing to resume large-scale strikes against Iran.
Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia was removed this week from his role as head of strategy, plans and policy on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
His ouster would be the latest in a series of high-profile departures from the military since Trump returned to power a year ago.
A reporter asked President Trump about “General Sylvia” and was referring to General Brett Sylvia, but Trump said “she’s gonna have problems.” he has no idea what’s going on in the military, amidst a major war against Iran. Very comforting. https://t.co/xmTYLnfEXM

With the US midterm elections approaching, the balance of power in Congress is at stake, and the outcome could shape the legacy of President Donald Trump’s second term. As Republicans face growing voter dissatisfaction, Trump’s record has become a central battleground in the fight to control Congress. Trump faces mounting challenges, including low approval ratings, an unpopular war in Iran, high inflation and petrol prices, economic uncertainty surrounding his tariff policies, and widespread backlash over his immigration crackdown. How does Trump’s second term measure up against the promises he made on the campaign trail? In this interview, Mehdi Hasan goes head-to-head with Steve Cortes, a former Trump campaign adviser, who defends the president’s second-term agenda, including his economic and immigration policies, and Islamophobic rhetoric. Joining the discussion: Olivia Troye - Former homeland security and counterterrorism adviser to Vice President Mike Pence Mike Nellis – Democratic strategist and former senior adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris Rob Arlett – Former Trump campaign chair and political commentator

@Gerashchenko_en From Ronald Reagan to this. From peace through strength to groveling weakness in front of a war criminal that we would have hanged at Nuremberg. This is the decline of the United States in a single quote.

Affordability has emerged as a defining issue in the 2026 US midterm elections, with nearly half of voters naming the cost of living as their top priority. An issue that was expected to be one of President Donald Trump's strongest political assets has instead become a growing challenge for Republicans as voters focus on household expenses and economic pressures. With the midterms approaching, concerns over everyday costs are shaping the political debate and putting the Trump administration's economic record under scrutiny.

With the US midterm election about six weeks away, President Donald Trump's approval rating is near record lows. Voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans on a laundry list of issues: to handle the economy, health care, immigration, the deficit, cost of living and foreign wars, according to a fresh New York Times/Siena poll. "Inflation is still high, consumers are feeling it" and come polling day, voters will be thinking about "affordability, affordability, affordability", says Timothy O'Brien, Senior Executive Editor for Bloomberg Opinion. O'Brien joins "The Pulse with Francine Lacqua" to discuss what's at stake for the Trump administration, and what voters are most concerned about heading into the election.
Trump wrote the playbook for how to make billions while assuming power. But with his popularity declining and the midterms approaching, he now faces a more daunting challenge: figuring out how to hang onto all the money the presidency has provided. Read more: forbes.com/sites/danalexa
