  • Trump isn’t talking about deportations, but they’re still happening

    Trump isn’t talking about deportations, but they’re still happening
    May 15 2026
    The Trump administration hasn't been talking much about its mass deportation policy, but that doesn't mean efforts have stopped.


    Back in February, support for President Trump’s mass deportation policy had plummeted. Two thirds of Americans polled by NPR said immigration enforcement had gone too far after agency officers killed two American citizens in Minneapolis.

    The Trump administration has spent the past several months trying to regain public support ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

    But what has actually changed about the policy?

  • Is the US running out of weapons in the Iran War?

    Is the US running out of weapons in the Iran War?
    May 14 2026
    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is butting heads with Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona again — this time, over Kelly’s recent statements that the U.S. is depleting its weapons supply in this war with Iran.

    Secretary Hegseth says that in discussing information from Pentagon briefings, Senator Kelly violated protocol.

    But the back-and-forth does raise the question: What's the status of the Pentagon's weapons stockpile amid the war with Iran?

    Barbara Starr, former CNN Pentagon correspondent and current senior fellow at the The USC Annenberg Center on Communication Leadership & Policy, provides insight.

  • Trump promised Americans impartial justice. Is he delivering?

    Trump promised Americans impartial justice. Is he delivering?
    May 12 2026
    President Trump promised Americans, fair, equal and impartial justice…is that what he’s delivering?

    President Trump campaigned on a promise to undo the levers of the justice system that he said were weaponized against him.

    His administration has gutted the Justice Department unit that investigates and prosecutes public corruption.

    But since the beginning of Trump’s second term investigations into corrupt public officials have dropped nearly 90 percent.

    Meanwhile, pardons of officials convicted of corruption have risen.
