Trump Spews Attacks and “Trump 2028” Joke at Correspondents’ Dinner….President Trump headlined the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, which was postponed after a shooting disrupted the original event in April. While he opened by condemning political violence and praising the Secret Service officer who stopped the gunman, his hour-long speech quickly shifted to familiar territory, taking aim at Democratic leaders and several journalists. Trump also joked about seeking a third term—despite the Constitution’s two-term limit—by putting on a red “Trump 2028” hat at the end of his remarks. The event honored Secret Service officer Victor Gonzales and hotel staff for their actions during the April attack.

Common Sense Takeaway: Truthfully, I forgot this dinner was even happening—and I’m so glad I did. If you watched any portion of it, you know that every joke, he bombed—and he otherwise spent the night insulting women for their looks. I also don’t find any “Trump 2028” jokes funny. There was no reason to go to this dinner for any self-respecting person.

Three Killed in Shooting at Seattle Food Festival….Three people were killed and four others were injured after a shooting erupted at Seattle’s annual Bite of Seattle food festival. Police say two people exchanged gunfire in the middle of the crowded event, prompting officers already on site to respond within seconds. One suspect is in custody, while authorities continue searching for a second alleged shooter. The victims who died included a 19-year-old man, a 44-year-old man, and a 56-year-old woman. Two firearms were recovered at the scene, and investigators are asking anyone with photos, videos, or information to come forward as they continue searching for the remaining suspect.

Common Sense Takeaway: Another needless shooting. More senseless deaths. At a food festival, of all places. It’s just a reminder that we aren’t safe anywhere in this country when guns are still being sold like candy. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can have common sense gun regulations that protect the premise of the Second Amendment and keep us safe.

Pentagon Deliberately Altering Fatality Tracking….The Pentagon is facing scrutiny after four U.S. service members killed in Jordan and Iraq were removed from its public database tracking casualties from the war with Iran and reclassified under “Overseas Operations.” The change temporarily reduced the official death toll for Operation Epic Fury from 18 to 14, prompting questions about how military casualties are being counted. The Defense Department blamed the discrepancy on a “temporary data disruption” and said the issue is being corrected, while also confirming that nearly 100 additional U.S. troops have been injured since fighting resumed in July.

Common Sense Takeaway: Does anyone trust Fox News host Pete Hegseth to properly report on casualties they caused in their needless war? I don’t. This is why we need press monitoring in the Pentagon and also why the Pentagon has tried to boot out major news outlets that they deem “left-wing.” It’s clear that we can’t let them operate unchecked, or they WILL lie to us.

Sophie Cunningham Makes Comments About Transgender Athletes….Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is making headlines after speaking out on transgender athletes’ participation in women’s sports. In a recent interview, Cunningham said she believes women’s sports and locker rooms should be reserved for biological women, adding that she wants to “protect young girls in a locker room” and doesn’t think female athletes should have to compete against biological men. While her comments drew praise from some conservatives, they also sparked criticism online, with some users labeling her “MAGA Barbie.” Cunningham pushed back on the political characterization, saying she considers herself “in the middle” politically and that her views are rooted in what she believes is fairness in women’s sports.

Common Sense Takeaway: Genuinely asking: What is the implication with trans women in locker rooms? That they will stare at another woman getting changed? Wouldn't this also be a concern if a woman was a lesbian, which many women in sports are? Are we supposed to ask everybody their sexual preference now?

Trump Expands Tariffs on Nearly Every Major U.S. Trading Partner…The Trump administration is imposing new tariffs of 10% to 12.5% on imports from roughly 60 trading partners, including the European Union, China, Japan, Canada, and Mexico, arguing the move is necessary to combat forced labor in global supply chains. While some countries that have adopted forced labor import restrictions will face the lower 10% rate, others will be hit with a 12.5% tariff. Economists warn that import taxes are often passed on to consumers, meaning Americans could see higher prices on everything from household goods to groceries. The sweeping tariffs cover countries responsible for nearly all U.S. imports and come after the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s previous tariff strategy earlier this year, forcing the administration to pursue a new legal path.

Common Sense Takeaway: I’m so lost on why tariffs are being this aggressively pursued by the Trump Administration, especially after how the last attempt played out. This is not a winning strategy for them or for American consumers, who have to pay the price.

House Passes $1 Trillion Defense Bill After Political Standoff….The House narrowly passed its annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), approving more than $1 trillion in defense spending after weeks of political gridlock. The bill includes funding for the Pentagon, the nation’s nuclear arsenal, and a pay raise for service members, but Democrats overwhelmingly opposed it, citing concerns over the Trump administration’s military operations in Iran and the massive increase in defense spending. The legislation now heads to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future. The bill also includes parts of the SAVE Act, as Republicans continue pushing to tie Trump’s voter ID legislation to other must-pass bills.

Common Sense Takeaway: Dear Republicans, stop trying to make the SAVE Act happen. It’s not going to happen. Also, why are we allocating trillions of dollars towards an unnecessary war and illegal military operations? So many questions. Not enough answers. That’s why this bill should not pass through the Senate.

DOJ Investigates Rep. Cory Mills….The Justice Department has opened an investigation into Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.), with multiple reports indicating the probe is focused, at least in part, on his finances. The investigation comes as Mills is already under scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee, which launched a separate inquiry last year into allegations involving campaign finance violations, sexual misconduct, and dating violence. Mills has denied the allegations, calling them false and politically motivated.

Common Sense Takeaway: When will Republicans call on Cory Mills to resign? Oh right, I forgot they don’t do that unless it’s someone on the other side. This guy has so many problems, one of which includes stalking and harassment allegations. There’s no reason to let him continue to roam around the halls of the Capitol. I made a Youtube video last week explaining just how problematic Cory Mills is. You can watch below:

Johnson Backs Ban on Lawmaker-Staff Relationships…House Speaker Mike Johnson says he supports changing House rules to ban members of Congress from having sexual relationships with any Capitol Hill staffer, arguing Congress should follow the same workplace standards as most employers. The push comes after renewed scrutiny over reports about Sen. Ruben Gallego’s past relationships with staffers outside his office while serving in the House. Current House rules only prohibit relationships with employees under a lawmaker’s direct supervision, leaving relationships with staff in other offices technically allowed.

Common Sense Takeaway: A rare W for Mike Johnson, although I don’t believe he would enforce these rules if his own caucus was breaking them. Per usual, it’s do as I say, not as I do. But this rule would be a very smart move given the power dynamics that create a predatory environment in Congress.

Epstein Survivors Renew Opposition to Todd Blanche….Two dozen survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s abuse are again urging Sens. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn to vote against confirming Todd Blanche as attorney general. In a letter to the senators, the survivors described Blanche’s recent meeting with them as a “box-checking exercise,” accusing him of being dismissive, failing to show remorse over the release of victims’ identifying information, and offering no clear commitment to pursue additional accountability for Epstein’s associates. Blanche has defended the meeting as productive and acknowledged errors in the release of case materials but denied withholding information to protect anyone.

Common Sense Takeaway: Listen. To. These. Women! If they felt dismissed in the room, I can guarantee they will be dismissed outside of the room. There’s no reason to confirm an Attorney General who has no interest in pursuing justice for Epstein’s victims. Democrats, do not allow him to spend one more day in this position.

ICE Body Camera Rollout Faces New Scrutiny….After two fatal ICE shootings this month involving officers who were not wearing body cameras, Border Czar Tom Homan said the Trump administration wants body cameras deployed “as soon as possible.” DHS says cameras have already been purchased and officers are being trained, but Democrats argue the administration has had ample time and funding to meet its promised July rollout. Homan also confirmed that future ICE vehicle stops must include at least one officer wearing an active body camera, though the administration has otherwise declined to announce broader policy changes following the shootings.

Common Sense Takeaway: This could have and should have been rolled out months ago. How many more murders is it going to take for common sense measures to be implemented? These are real people who deserved to live. Yes, body cameras will help hold these monsters accountable but we can’t stop there. Next up, face masks need to be banned and name badges need to be required.

Trump Slaps Canada With 50% Tariffs…The Trump administration announced a sweeping 50% tariff on many Canadian imports, accusing Canada of unfairly retaliating against U.S. trade policies. The new duties, which take effect in 30 days, cover a wide range of products including dairy, alcohol, clothing, furniture, construction materials, and technology—even many goods covered by the USMCA trade agreement. The White House says the move is intended to protect American manufacturers and pressure Canada to remove trade barriers, while formal trade negotiations between the two countries remain stalled.

Common Sense Takeaway: Once upon a time, Canada was our ally. Now we go for tit for tat with them on trading deals because our president is a child. Once again, American consumers will pay the price of these tariffs and then when they are inevitably deemed illegal, corporations will receive refunds, and we will get the short end of the stick.

Taco Bell Lettuce Outbreak Continues to Grow…..Federal health officials are still investigating a multistate outbreak of cyclosporiasis linked to shredded iceberg lettuce served at Taco Bell locations in five states. The CDC has confirmed more than 1,600 cases, though officials believe the true number is much higher, while Michigan alone has reported over 6,100 illnesses. Although the FDA recently acknowledged that a positive lettuce test was a false alarm, it says epidemiological evidence continues to point to recalled shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms in central Mexico as the source of the outbreak.

Common Sense Takeaway: These are the moments when we all wish there were competent health professionals at the helm of these organizations. Unfortunately for us, we have brainworm, bear-dumping, whale-head carrying RFK Jr. leading the charge on this illness, and he’s not doing a very good job. We still have no clue about the source, and no knowledge on how to manage it.

Epstein Survivors Criticize Todd Blanche After DOJ Meeting…Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche met with several survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse after pressure from lawmakers considering his confirmation as attorney general. Following the meeting, survivor Annie Farmer said Blanche was “abrasive” and “condescending,” accusing him of refusing to commit to investigating why early reports about Epstein were ignored or to provide greater transparency into the Justice Department’s handling of the case. Blanche called the meeting “productive,” said he encouraged survivors to share any new information with the FBI, and reiterated that the DOJ would prosecute anyone if sufficient evidence exists. The meeting comes as Republican Sen. Thom Tillis has made speaking with Epstein’s victims a condition for supporting Blanche’s confirmation.

Common Sense Takeaway: Surprise, surprise. Todd Blanche is a total a**hole. I don’t have any faith in this DOJ or any Attorney General under the Trump Administration that Epstein accomplices will be brought to justice. They will delay as long as they possibly can, until the victims and the public are worn out. We can’t let them get away with it.

Appeals Court Gives Trump Administration Temporary Win on Mail-In Voting Rule….A federal appeals court temporarily sided with the Trump administration in its effort to expand federal oversight of elections by pausing a lower court ruling that blocked the U.S. Postal Service’s proposed mail-in voting restrictions. The policy would require states to provide voter lists to the Postal Service or risk having mail-in ballots withheld. However, the rule remains blocked for now because a separate federal injunction in Massachusetts is still in effect. While the decision doesn’t allow the policy to take effect immediately, it signals the administration could gain momentum as the legal challenges continue ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Common Sense Takeaway: The mail-in voting restrictions proposed by the USPS essentially allow the federal government to create a list of “authorized voters” who are allowed to cast a ballot. Does anyone believe that the Trump Administration a) can conjure up and routinely update an accurate list of eligible voters in the country and b) will not doctor or rig those lists? I don’t.

Pentagon Identifies Two U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iranian Strike….The Pentagon has identified two U.S. soldiers killed in an Iranian missile and drone attack in Jordan as 25-year-old Tyler James Feehan of Hawaii and 19-year-old Isabella Gonzales of Texas. A third service member was also killed in a separate incident in Iraq involving unexploded ordnance. The deaths come as fighting between the U.S. and Iran continues despite earlier ceasefire efforts, with U.S. forces carrying out additional strikes on Iranian military targets in response to recent attacks. According to the Pentagon, 15 U.S. service members have been killed in combat since operations against Iran began, and roughly 140 others have been wounded.

Common Sense Takeaway: What a tragedy. Two young lives taken, among others, for a war that never needed to happen. A war started by warmongers named Pete Hegseth, J.D. Vance, and Donald Trump. A war that we have gotten nothing out of, other than dead American troops, increased gas and oil prices, and civilian deaths in Iran and across the region.

Trump Unveils Election Documents, Pushes SAVE Act….In a primetime address, President Trump announced the declassification of intelligence documents that he claims expose vulnerabilities in U.S. election systems, Chinese efforts to gather voter data, and other election-related concerns. He again insisted the 2020 election was “stolen” and called on the Justice Department to prosecute those he believes were involved while urging Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, his election reform bill. However, Trump did not present evidence that votes or the outcome of the 2020 election were altered, and the newly released documents appear to describe efforts to collect voter information and influence public opinion rather than change vote totals. Intelligence assessments have previously concluded that while China sought to gather information and conduct influence operations, there is no evidence it interfered with election infrastructure or altered election results.

Common Sense Takeaway: The whole speech was a narcissistic man’s delusions. It would have been better served in therapy, not on the global stage. But of course, the whole purpose was to try to force through the SAVE Act in an effort to rig the 2026 midterms in Republicans’ favor. Why? So he can stay in power in 2028.

Trump Teleprompter Operator Placed Bets on President’s Speeches…Federal investigators are examining allegations that Gabriel Perez, President Trump’s longtime teleprompter operator, used advance knowledge of the president’s prepared remarks to place bets on prediction market platform Kalshi. Investigators believe Perez wagered on whether certain words or topics would appear in more than a dozen Trump speeches, reportedly earning over $100,000. Kalshi flagged the suspicious activity to regulators, and the White House says Perez has been placed on unpaid administrative leave while the matter is investigated. Federal prosecutors declined to pursue criminal charges, but regulators are reportedly negotiating a settlement that would require Perez to forfeit his profits and refrain from similar trading in the future.

Common Sense Takeaway: Corruption breeds corruption. Of course this guy thought that he could commit insider trading and get away with it. And honestly, by all intents and purposes, he is. Trump’s DOJ is refusing to pursue criminal charges against him. Wonder why.

Canadian Wildfire Smoke Chokes Much of the U.S…..Smoke from more than 850 active wildfires burning across Canada has triggered air quality alerts in at least 18 states, stretching from Minnesota to Virginia. Cities including New York, Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis saw some of the worst air quality in the world, with Milwaukee recording its highest pollution levels on record. Health officials are urging people to limit time outdoors as hazardous smoke spreads south, while the FAA has reported flight delays due to poor visibility. The smoke is expected to continue drifting into the Mid-Atlantic, including Washington, D.C., and Virginia, through Friday.

Common Sense Takeaway: This is why we need to continue to protect our environment, folks. The smoke is so bad where I live, you can’t be outside for more than five minutes. You can't "debate" your way out of polluted air.

ICE Shooting Reignites Calls for Reform or Abolition…..Pressure is mounting on ICE after the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Colombian migrant Johan Sebastián Guerrero during a traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine. New video appears to capture shouting followed by five gunshots, while Sen. Angus King said Guerrero was not the intended target of the operation and noted that none of the agents involved were wearing body cameras. In response, Maine Gov. Janet Mills called on Congress to fundamentally reform—or abolish—ICE, warning that “before more families are robbed of a loved one, this violence has to end.” The shooting is one of three deadly incidents involving federal immigration officers during traffic stops in just over a week. Meanwhile, President Trump reversed a temporary pause on ICE traffic stops, calling them one of the agency’s most effective enforcement tools as the FBI continues investigating the shooting.

Common Sense Takeaway: ICE—as it currently operates—cannot exist. It needs to be almost completely reformed and if they can’t do that, it needs to be completely abolished. For starters, body cameras, name badges & identifying numbers need to be required. And masks and sunglasses need to be banned. We cannot allow gun-wielding people to run around murdering people in broad daylight, and do so under the guise of anonymity. That just doesn’t work.

Trump Slows and Denies More Disaster Aid Requests….A new Associated Press analysis found that disaster relief is taking longer to reach Americans under President Trump than under any president since 1989. On average, major disaster declarations now take about six weeks to approve, delaying federal assistance for families recovering from hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, and wildfires. The analysis also found that Trump has approved roughly 80% of disaster requests from Republican governors, compared with about 60% from Democratic governors, while states that voted against him in 2024 have seen significantly more denials. The White House denies politics play any role, saying the administration is conducting more thorough reviews to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent appropriately as it considers major changes to FEMA and disaster funding.

Common Sense Takeaway: Does anyone believe that this is pure coincidence? That this has nothing to do with playing politics? Because I don’t. Earlier this month, he rejected $227 million in aid requests from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Yes, all four states have a Democratic Governor and two Democratic Senators. This is impeachment-worthy alone.

Todd Blanche Faces Tough Questions at Confirmation Hearing….Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche spent five hours before the Senate Judiciary Committee defending the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, controversial legal settlements involving President Trump, and his close relationship with the president. Blanche acknowledged mistakes in the Epstein file release but promised to pursue any new evidence against potential co-conspirators. He also confirmed that the controversial $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” is officially “dead” after drawing bipartisan criticism. The hearing came just days after a federal judge accused Blanche of potentially giving misleading testimony to Congress over a separate settlement shielding Trump and his family from IRS audits—an allegation Blanche strongly denied as he seeks Senate confirmation as attorney general.

Common Sense Takeaway: You can’t claim to to pursue new evidence against Epstein while refusing to meet with the actual victims. Everything about Todd Blanche spells out blind loyalty for Trump. Including the fact that he referred to himself as “Trumps’ lawyer” during the hearing, not the acting Attorney General. If any Democrat votes to confirm him, we have a serious problem.

ICE Shoots and Kills Innocent Man in Maine….Protests erupted in Maine after ICE agents fatally shot 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a father of a 3-year old, during an immigration operation in Biddeford. Officials say Guerrero was not the intended target of the operation but was shot after allegedly driving toward federal agents during a vehicle stop. Witnesses dispute parts of the official account, and because agents were not wearing body cameras, there is no video of the shooting itself. Immigration advocates, Maine officials, and the Colombian government are all calling for a transparent, independent investigation, while the FBI has taken the lead on reviewing the incident. Sources are now reporting that ICE has been ordered to stop conducting vehicle stops until further training is received.

Common Sense Takeaway: WTF! I watched the video and nowhere were these officers in danger. The only time the car was rolling towards them was when the driver, Guerrero, was already dead at the wheel…because they shot him. It was highly disturbing to witness. Enough is ENOUGH. ICE agents are not equipped to handle interactions with the public, and they do not operate as legitimate law enforcement. ICE must go.

Lindsey Graham’s Sister Sworn Into Senate….The Senate will swear in Darline Graham on Tuesday to complete the remainder of her late brother Lindsey Graham’s term, which ends in January. Appointed by South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster with President Trump’s backing, Graham has served as commissioner of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind since 2019. After their parents died, Lindsey Graham became her legal guardian when she was 13, making the appointment both politically significant and deeply personal. Darline Graham says she plans to continue her brother’s work and support the Trump administration during her time in office.

Common Sense Takeaway: Okay… I guess. Seems a bit odd that someone who has no knowledge or proximity to politics will now be a United States Senator. Anyways, I look forward to supporting Annie Andrews to win this race this fall. You can support her here: https://drannieandrews.com/

Trump’s Unhinged New 2020 Election Claims….President Trump says he’ll deliver a nationally televised address Thursday night unveiling what he describes as newly declassified intelligence about alleged foreign interference in the 2020 election. Because of this, he said he will be able to prove that both Sen. Jon Ossoff and Sen. Raphael Warnock are illegitimate Senators. The speech will feature top administration officials, including the CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security chiefs. Trump has continued to argue the 2020 election was “rigged,” despite courts repeatedly rejecting those claims and no credible evidence showing widespread fraud changed the outcome.

Common Sense Takeaway: The 2020 election? We’re still doing this? His narcissistic need to prove that he did not lose an election 6 years ago should be studied for ages. It’s also extremely telling that he is looking to disenfranchise two Democratic Senators from Georgia (but not others…?) because Lindsey Graham just died and Mitch McConnell is on his death bed. His playbook is so transparent.

That’s it for today. Thanks for reading Common Sense with Ally Sammarco. Check back tomorrow for more.
