Trump Shake-Ups and Controversies: Officials Removed, GOP Medicaid Plan Revealed, US on Rights Watchlist, and Qatar Jet Deal Sparks Backlash
Trump Removes Copyright Office Chief Following Dismissal of Librarian of Congress. The Trump administration has fired Shira Perlmutter from her role as head of the U.S. Copyright Office, just days after dismissing Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress. A Copyright Office spokesperson confirmed that Perlmutter received an email from the White House on Saturday notifying her of the decision. The Cleveland Browns face intense backlash after a video of rookie defensive tackle Mason Graham struggling during minicamp went viral, reigniting criticism over the team's controversial decision to pass on Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick. Instead, Cleveland traded down to No. 5, selecting Graham, who was widely regarded as the top interior defensive lineman in the 2025 draft. Despite an impressive college career at Michigan, fan reaction turned sharply negative after footage showed Graham vomiting during non-contact drills, prompting concerns about his physical readiness and the team’s draft strategy. Scott Bessent reports 'substantial progress' in US-China trade talks, as both sides express optimism following recent discussions. The US treasury secretary characterized the negotiations as "productive," while China's vice premier described them as "candid," signaling a potential breakthrough in easing trade tensions between the two nations. Republicans Reveal Medicaid Provisions in Trump Tax Bill as legislation introduced by House Republicans late Sunday proposes significant cuts to Medicaid spending. The bill, crafted by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, outlines new restrictions such as work requirements and more frequent eligibility checks for beneficiaries. Notably, it omits the most controversial changes that had previously been considered, setting the stage for heated debates in the coming days. The White House and Qatar are in discussions regarding the transfer of a luxury jet for temporary use as Air Force One, following reports suggesting the aircraft might be a gift. Qatari officials clarify that the arrangement is still under negotiation and would involve only temporary use of the plane. The United States was added to an international human rights watchlist on Sunday, with concerns citing threats to civic freedoms during the Trump administration. Giants Encouraged to Pursue Surprise Quarterback Trade Following Derek Carr Decision
The New York Giants may be poised for an unexpected shakeup at quarterback following Derek Carr's retirement. Carr, who injured his shoulder against the Giants in Week 14 of last season and faced a lengthy recovery, chose to retire rather than remain on injured reserve. In response, some analysts have proposed that the Giants trade veteran Jameis Winston back to the New Orleans Saints, where he spent four seasons, to fill the void left by Carr. Though Winston was only signed by the Giants in March to bolster a shaky QB room led by Russell Wilson and first-round rookie Jaxson Dart, his presence now appears somewhat redundant—or valuable, depending on the direction the Giants take. While some argue a trade to New Orleans makes sense, others believe Winston’s veteran experience is essential as the team carefully grooms Dart into a future starter. President Trump has lashed out at Democratic lawmakers who criticized his anticipated receipt of a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from the government of Qatar, labeling them "world class losers" in a Sunday night post on Truth Social. The aircraft is reportedly intended to serve as a replacement for Air Force One, prompting scrutiny from Democrats. Trump dismissed the backlash, defending the arrangement and ridiculing his opponents.
