A multibillion-dollar project to tap into natural gas in Alaska pursued by the Trump administration has received secret funding from a sanctioned Russian company, according to a report. Polar LNG, an American energy startup, is seeking to buy Russian technology to extract natural gas from Alaska's North Slope and ship it to allies abroad, portraying the project as a decidedly American undertaking. But Joel Riddle, who resigned as the company's chief executive last month, told The New York Times that he was misled about the source of the company's funding. He said he had been made to believe that the money came from a firm in the United Arab Emirates, when at least some of it actually came from Novatek, one of Russia's biggest energy companies. Novatek is under partial U.S. sanctions.
President Donald Trump slammed the Wall Street Journal for fixating on scandals within the Republican Party while, in his view, completely ignoring "Democrat corruption" " like party leaders being linked to dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, he vented. Trump bashed the outlet while speaking to reporters in West Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday afternoon. A WSJ reporter " who sounded like White House reporter Phillip Wegmann " asked the president why he believed corruption is a top issue heading into the midterms, after a recent Fox News poll showed 88% of Americans were "extremely or very concerned" about it. "Well, because the Democrats are very corrupt. To me, corruption is one of the biggest things " if you look at Minnesota, if you look at Los Angeles, if you look at New York, the corruption is rampant. And to me, corruption is a very big factor," Trump said.
Enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap) has decreased significantly over the past year in the US following restrictions imposed by the Trump administration, which has forced more people to seek help from food banks or go hungry, stakeholders say. The number of people who receive food stamps has dropped from 41.6 million in July 2025, before the One Big Beautiful Act took effect, to 36.5 million in June 2026, a 13% decrease, according to the latest data from the US Department of Agriculture, which administers the program. While Donald Trump and other Republicans have said the changes incentivize people to find jobs, elected officials, non-profit leaders and people with food insecurity say the changes simply make it harder for Americans to feed their families.
