Donald Trump has launched a fiery tirade against former presidential rival Kamala Harris, accusing her of bribing celebrities for endorsements during the 2024 campaign. Trump claims entertainers like Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen and Oprah may have accepted payments in violation of campaign finance laws and is calling for a “major investigation.” In a series of heated social media posts, Trump mocked Springsteen as a “dried out prune” and slammed him for criticizing America from a concert stage abroad. These accusations come as Trump intensifies efforts to cast the Democratic campaign as corrupt, reigniting long-standing hostilities with liberal celebrities who have openly opposed him.

Moody’s has downgraded the U.S. government’s credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, citing a worsening debt trajectory and political paralysis in Washington. The move follows similar downgrades by Standard & Poor’s in 2011 and Fitch in 2023. Moody’s warned that deficits could reach 9% of GDP by 2035, driven by interest payments and rising entitlement costs. Efforts to curb spending failed as Republicans and Democrats remain divided. The agency also flagged Trump-era tax cuts as a $4 trillion threat to fiscal health if extended, further straining the federal deficit outlook.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has accused Democratic lawmakers of committing felonies following a scuffle at an ICE facility in New Jersey. Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman, Robert Menendez, and LaMonica McIver were involved in a tense confrontation at the Delaney Hall Detention Center. Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested for trespassing. Democrats deny wrongdoing, saying they were escorted in lawfully and assaulted by ICE agents. Noem and DHS claim lawmakers stormed the building and assaulted officers. The incident has sparked a heated clash over congressional oversight and immigration enforcement.

Trump is at the center of a political and legal storm after confirming plans to temporarily use a $400 million Boeing 747-8 — dubbed the “Flying Palace” — reportedly offered by Qatar’s royal family. Trump claims the ultra-luxurious jet is a “gift, free of charge” to the U.S. government while the new Air Force One fleet faces delays. However, Qatari officials deny it’s a personal gift to Trump and say the deal remains under review with the U.S. Department of Defense. Critics, including top Democrats, warn the arrangement may breach the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and raise national security concerns over foreign influence.

Donald Trump has stunned America by ordering the reopening and expansion of the infamous Alcatraz prison. The former president says the facility will house the country’s most “vicious and violent” offenders. Once home to criminals like Al Capone, Alcatraz shut down in 1963 and is now a popular tourist attraction. Critics, including top Democrats, have slammed the move as theatrical and legally dubious. Trump insists it’s a powerful symbol of law and order. But is this about justice, or just politics? Here's what we know so far.
