New book reveals Trump’s plan to aggressively test the limits of executive authority

Journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan released their book "Regime Change" today, detailing Donald Trump's shift from feeling hunted by investigations to becoming the hunter of his political rivals.

The book describes how Trump is utilizing Presidential Emergency Action Documents, secretive executive orders originally intended for nuclear doomsday scenarios, to bypass Congress on immigration and civil policy. To project dominance, the administration has focused on aesthetic shifts like erecting towering new flagpoles on the White House lawns and staffing the government with loyalists dedicated to a structural overhaul. These moves coincide with the United States' 250th anniversary, framing his governance as a historical pivot point toward centralized executive strength.

Legal scholars and opposition leaders are now preparing for a summer of intense court battles as the administration continues to test the constitutional boundaries of the presidency.

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
