• New York Post falsely claims Mayor Mamdani "doxxed" wealthy residents over public property data — The New York Post has repeatedly claimed that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani "doxxed" wealthy New Yorkers by publishing a property ownership list as the city implements a new pied-à-terre tax. However, the same property ownership information has been publicly available for decades. Despite the false claim originating in the New York Post, it has since spread to other major media outlets, amplifying misinformation about the mayor's transparency initiative.

• California Business Roundtable-backed PAC runs false ad about billionaire tax initiative — Opponents of California's proposed billionaire tax are running an advertisement falsely claiming that the initiative would require all Californians to itemize and report all their assets to the state. The ad was sponsored by Californians Against Wasteful Spending and Higher Taxes, a project of the California Business Roundtable (CBRT). CBRT's PAC is funded by several billionaires, including Peter Thiel. The false claim misrepresents the scope and requirements of the proposed tax measure.

• Trump delivered partisan speech at NASA Artemis II event — Trump delivered a speech at NASA's Johnson Space Center intended to honor astronauts from the Artemis II mission. Instead of focusing on the astronauts and their achievements, Trump delivered a lengthy partisan speech centered on himself, making false claims and discussing unrelated topics including Venezuela and Iran. The audience—scientists, astronauts, staff, and their families—sat in complete silence throughout, with no applause or positive reaction. Trump arrived more than one hour late to the Medal of Honor event, forcing organizers to fill time with extended videos while attendees waited.

• Trump posted AI image falsely claiming Iran war victory — Trump posted an AI-generated image depicting himself in front of an American flag, aircraft carrier, and military aircraft, with former President George W. Bush surrounded by flames and empty soldier's boots labeled "MISSION NOT ACCOMPLISHED 2001–2021," and the former leader of Iran (killed in Trump's strikes) labeled "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 2026." The image falsely claims success in an Iran war that has created severe military financial crises and is increasingly unpopular. Journalists noted the comparison to Bush's infamous "Mission Accomplished" banner during the Iraq War.

• Kennedy suggests measles deaths in Pennsylvania were fabricated — As the U.S. faces a measles outbreak that has killed two unvaccinated people in Pennsylvania—including a newborn too young for vaccination—HHS Secretary Kennedy suggested that Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro's announcement of the deaths might have been "altogether fabricated by one of the Governor's hopeful staffers." The claim contradicts documented public health data.
• HHS Secretary RFK Jr. testified falsely about 2019 Samoa visit, documents show — According to the Associated Press, HHS Secretary RFK Jr. repeatedly told lawmakers who held the key to his confirmation last year that a 2019 visit to Samoa before a deadly measles outbreak had "nothing to do with vaccines." New documents refute that testimony. Kennedy, then a prominent anti-vaccine activist, preceded the visit with a letter to the Samoan Prime Minister requesting to study the Pacific island nation's measles, mumps and rubella vaccines after the deaths of two children who had received them.
• RFK Jr. praised low vaccine uptake in Lancaster County in 2021, preceding measles deaths — The Pennsylvania Department of Health announced that two unvaccinated people in Lancaster County died from measles. In 2021, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then chair of the Children's Health Defense, spoke at an Amish country fair in Lancaster County where he praised the low childhood vaccine uptake and downplayed the severity of measles. The timing and location of Kennedy's remarks preceded the recent measles deaths in the same community.
• RFK Jr. falsely testified to Congress about Samoa vaccine visit — Documents obtained by the press reveal that RFK Jr., now HHS Secretary, made false statements during his 2025 Senate confirmation hearings when he claimed his 2019 Samoa visit had "nothing to do with vaccines." Letters show Kennedy explicitly told the Samoan prime minister he intended to investigate the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. Kennedy's visit is reported to have empowered anti-vaccine activists; a measles epidemic followed that killed 83 people. Knowingly lying to Congress is a federal crime, though rarely prosecuted.

• Three journalists sue Pentagon for retaliatory firing from Stars and Stripes — Three employees of Stars and Stripes—a government-funded military news outlet—filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Defense and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging they were fired in retaliation for reporting on deteriorating conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and for defending press freedom in a CBS News interview. The plaintiffs claim their dismissals violated First Amendment rights and were illegal. Publisher Max Lederer refused to comply with the firing order and retired instead; he was subsequently dismissed.

• Trump EPA proposes rule to exempt datacenters from public air pollution disclosure — The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency proposed a new rule that would eliminate the Clean Air Act requirement for datacenters to publicly disclose air pollution emissions. The rule would make disclosure voluntary at state and local officials' discretion rather than mandatory. Datacenters are significant sources of nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and heavy metals. Environmental advocates warn the change will reduce public oversight, prevent communities from knowing what pollutants they will breathe, and weaken enforcement of federal pollution limits linked to asthma, heart disease, and cancer.
• EPA approves two toxic datacenter chemicals despite acknowledged health risks — The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency approved two photoacid generator compounds for import and immediate use in U.S. datacenters, despite acknowledging in consent orders that the chemicals may present "unreasonable risk" to workers and the public and could cause sudden death, cancer, neurological damage, and reproductive harm. The EPA admitted insufficient data to quantify acute toxicity and lethality risks but approved the chemicals anyway with minimal restrictions, prompting a lawsuit by Earthjustice arguing the approval violates the Toxic Substances Control Act.

• Trump's administration claimed large volumes of oil are moving through the Strait of Hormuz; Wall Street Journal reported trackers see much less — The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump administration claims about large volumes of oil moving through the Strait of Hormuz are contradicted by independent oil-shipment trackers. The article states: "The trackers whose job it is to count the world's oil shipments see much less." The discrepancy suggests the administration is making unsubstantiated claims about global oil flows, potentially to justify foreign policy or sanctions decisions.
• President Trump Was Right: America Controls the Strait of Hormuz — The White House published this release on 2026-08-28 through its releases channel.

• Bessent intervenes in Japanese yen market to prop up currency — The Financial Times reported that three weeks prior, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent inserted himself into the market for the Japanese yen, buying the currency to prop it up in what was publicly painted as a friendly act of solidarity with an ally. However, bond market insiders interpreted the move as an effort to stop Japan from fixing its yen problem by selling down its gigantic stash of US debt, which would further destabilize US Treasury markets.
• Financial Times reports Bessent's bond market intervention resembles failed military strategy — The Financial Times reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's "running battle with the bond market is starting to look like his boss's war in Iran - started by his own hand with a tangled set of objectives, an underestimated opponent and an implausible path to victory." The article noted that Bessent has given the message to investors three times in three weeks to stop selling bonds, but they are selling anyway.
• Former Federal Reserve governor Dudley warns of stock market bubble — Former Federal Reserve governor Bill Dudley identified multiple signs of a massive stock market bubble, including: (1) stock market valuations that are "crazy by any number of measures"; (2) the entire AI financial boom operating in a "classic Ponzi-style loop" characteristic of financial manias that are always followed by downturns or worse; and (3) rising long-term interest rates in the US and globally, which are "exactly the kind of thing that could burst the bubble."
• MarketWatch reports US Treasury losing control of long-term rates — MarketWatch reported that it appears increasingly likely that the US Treasury, the global lender of last resort, is losing control of long-term interest rates. The article noted that the alleged Treasury "buyback" program that sparked a brief rally involved "trivial sums of money and no new money."
• Treasury Secretary Bessent doubles long-term bond buyback program — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, facing turmoil in financial markets, instructed officials to double the amount of long-term US government bonds they should buy back from the market in the coming months, from $2 billion to $4 billion. The Telegraph reported that Bessent was attempting to shore up the bond market and stop "bond vigilantes" from destabilizing the global economy by artificially increasing demand for US Treasury bonds to push up prices and lower yields.
• Treasury announces bond buyback program funded by General Account reserves — The Treasury Department announced a "Treasury Twist" operation to increase purchases of longer-term government bonds, doubling buybacks of off-the-run securities from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. Treasury officials indicated the General Account (TGA)—currently holding approximately $950 billion—could be deployed to fund the operation, though they declined to specify the amount or timing. The TGA had been built up from the prior administration's balance of $550–600 billion.

• Marjorie Taylor Greene responds to Trump attack — Marjorie Taylor Greene responded to Trump's attack by stating that Trump "attacks us with such vitriol because we actually are everything he claimed to be, conservative and America First, and he has proven as President that he is nothing more than a neocon puppet for Israel, corporations, big donors with special interests, and his dear friends in the Epstein class." Greene stated that "Tucker and Thomas both have led me in prayer to the Lord our God. They are my brothers in Christ. Trump never once prayed with me and only recognizes God when it's in his staff written speeches." Greene stated she previously supported Trump "because of the policies he professed to support and passionately campaigned on, but now as president he's been revealed to be the Trojan horse who enforces many of the policies he claimed to be against." Greene expressed concern that "as Trump loses power and influence he will turn more and more towards war and take actions to make himself feel more powerful and in control, as he grasp and clings to the Oval Office."
• Trump attacks Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene on Truth Social — Trump posted a lengthy Truth Social rant attacking Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling them "LOSERS ALL!" Trump claimed Carlson's "Views" have "fallen through the floor," called him "a very Low I.Q. individual" who "could barely get out of College," and suggested he should "be required to take a cognitive test." Trump claimed Carlson "wants to run for political office" and "could probably take a couple of points away from whatever the Republican ticket happens to be." Trump characterized Massie as "a failed politician, and a real JERK" who voted "NO" on everything. Trump attacked Greene, calling her "a highly neurotic young woman" who "went from Ultra Conservative to a Liberal 'Fool'" because he "refused to return her phone calls." Trump concluded by calling all three "THREE LOSERS, and a pocketful of change" and suggested their "only chance" is to "join the Radical Left Dumocrats."
• Trump posts dismissive statement about Canada on Truth Social — Trump posted on Truth Social: "Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!! They have also charged our great farmers, for many years, massive amounts of Tariffs. No more!!!" The statement dismissed Canadian sovereignty and framed the trade conflict in terms of unilateral US grievance.
• Trump proposed renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America — Trump announced on social media that the United States is considering renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, stating the U.S. does not expect to conduct business with Ontario any longer.
