US President Donald Trump has sparked controversy over the potential delivery of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. In a surprise phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Putin warned that giving the US military such advanced weapons would damage relations between the two countries.
During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, Trump downplayed the possibility of sending the missiles, saying that "we need Tomahawks and we need a lot" but also stating that it's not easy to provide them. He even expressed hope that Ukraine might not need them.
Trump's stance on supplying Ukraine with weapons has shifted multiple times since he returned to office, often following negotiations with Putin or European backers of Ukraine.
Another significant development is Trump's announcement that he commuted the sentence of former US Representative George Santos, who was sentenced in April for fraud and identity theft. Santos pleaded guilty to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of 11 people – including his own family members – to make donations to his campaign.
Former national security adviser John Bolton has also been embroiled in controversy, pleading not guilty to charges relating to sharing classified information with relatives and storing classified documents at his home.
Additionally, Fox News employees expressed concerns about the network's editorial standards and conduct of top hosts, with some even going as far as to question whether they had sold their "soul" to Trump.
Young Republicans in New York have been suspended after racist chats leaked online. The state committee has taken action following members' involvement in highly offensive messages published by Politico.
Trump also made headlines for his use of an expletive to threaten Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, who allegedly offered major concessions to appease the US and ease tensions.
Republican lawmakers have released a deepfake video of Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, using AI-generated footage to create a robotically repeating audio clip. The move has sparked concerns about the potential for more "woke garbage" from the Republican party.
Lastly, Trump's administration has asked the US Supreme Court to permit the deployment of National Guard troops in Illinois, as part of their efforts to expand domestic military use in Democratic-led cities.

on one hand, i get why he'd wanna help ukraine, but at the same time, can't we just keep things diplomatic instead of making everything more complicated? 
meanwhile, santos gets off scot-free after all that cheating... like, what even is the point of having a moral compass if you're just gonna let ppl get away with stuff? 
on another note, fox news employees are freaking out about trump's influence on them... like, didn't they know this was coming? 
and those racist young repubs in ny getting suspended for their chat history... about time someone held them accountable for that 
but what really gets me is the republicans' use of deepfakes to attack Schumer... it's just so sleazy 
can we please just get back to civil discourse? 
... like what is going on with Trump?! First he's giving Ukraine some advanced missiles and then he's saying they don't need them? And now he's commuting George Santos' sentence without even getting an apology for the whole cheating scandal? It's like, come on man, own up to your mistakes! 
. They're just letting these hosts run wild and spewing out hate speech without any consequences. And now they're trying to blame it on Trump like he's some kind of puppet master controlling the network? Please, Fox is owned by the advertisers, not the President 
.
.
. And now they're trying to take it out on Schumer? That's just low. Can't we all just get along and stop with the fake news and conspiracy theories?! 
how can trump just keep changing his mind about Ukraine?? like what even is that? and then he's all like "we need Tomahawks" but also not sure if they're needed 
that's wild. and fox news is just getting worse by the day 
. can't they just keep it real for once? 
like is he serious or just trying to sound tough? and another thing, why all the controversy surrounding george santos? he was already done wrong once shouldn't we just move on? 
can't we all just get along? 
like calm down dude, you're not some kind of action hero from the movie "the dark knight" 
and on a more serious note, how do we know that the deepfake video is even real? 
shouldn't they be holding themselves to a higher standard?
like what even is the point of this? are they trying to make a statement or just stirring up more drama? 
. like, can't we just focus on one thing for once? Trump's antics are giving me whiplash... first it's Ukraine, then Tomahawk missiles, and now he's worried about George Santos' sentence? like, dude, you can't even get your own house in order before trying to play hero 
.
"When you know you're about to drop some Tomahawk knowledge... but then Trump just throws it all off 
"
yikes just read that trump is considering giving ukraine those advanced tomahawk missiles again 
it's like he doesn't care about the escalating situation over there. Putin was totally right though, more arms isn't gonna solve anything 
and some young republicans in new york got suspended for being super racist online 
. It feels like Trump's administration is just trying to expand their power and influence without thinking through the consequences. Not sure about this one...
Putin's right to be concerned, this could escalate things big time 
It feels like justice isn't being served here. And what's up with John Bolton too? 
Sharing classified info is a major no-no, but it sounds like some people are getting away scot-free.
It's about time someone spoke up about the network's questionable behavior.
