Chaos & Crisis: Trump’s POWERS, Hate Symbols U-Turn & Democrats Surge

Donald Trump gives a hero’s welcome to Mohammed bin Salman — despite U.S. intelligence concluding the Saudi crown prince likely approved the murder of a U.S. journalist.

• Trump doubles down: he publicly calls for the execution of Democrats who reminded military and intelligence personnel of their oath to refuse illegal orders.

• The U.S. Coast Guard initially downgrades swastikas & nooses from “hate symbols” to “potentially divisive,” then reverses course after massive backlash.

• A shaky jobs report and deep economic concerns fuel rising public discontent — while new polls show Democrats in a strong position heading into the 2026 midterms.
