"The death penalty is on the way out in America."

Trump "will reverse the changes this [Biden's] administration has made [on the death penalty]."

"I signed a death warrant yesterday on a case. So we are seeking the death penalty again."

"If somebody kills somebody in the capital — Washington, D.C. — we're going to be seeking the death penalty."

Will Trump Make the Death Penalty Legal in Washington DC?

"It [2026 Midterms]'s going to be dominated by what party is making you safe and prosperous. It's not going to be dominated by subsidies [Trump's presidential actions]. It's going to be dominated by the big stuff."

“A chunk of [GOP voters] who put them in power in 2024 are Trump-specific voters; they will vote GOP down ballot when Trump is running but won’t turn out to vote for a typical congressman in a midterm when Trump isn’t running.”

"As we have seen, the president’s party almost always loses ground in the midterm election following his victory... [but] if Republicans are to have a serious chance of retaining control of the House, President Trump will have to improve his job approval significantly."

"If legal immigrants begin to be deported without having committed any crime [by Trump admin], get ready for Republicans to lose the [2026] midterms by a landslide."

“The President will help his Republican friends on Capitol Hill get reelected [in 2026 Midterms], and work to pick up new seats across the country.”

"President Trump is the main event for the party [2026 midterms]."

"Republicans have reason to worry that the president’s political decline will affect their performance in next year [2026]’s midterm elections."

“All these people that he [Trump] helps — he doesn’t help everybody — but for those he does, he’s a difference maker, and he’s certainly a turnout machine.”

"Whether congressional GOPers can turn things around for the ‘26 midterms is more dependent on Trump than ever."

“All of the kinds of things [Trump's] doing now will result in him losing—certainly losing the House of Representatives."

"The success or failure of the Grand Old Party (GOP) next year [2026 US Midterms] will be decided on the strength or weakness of President Trump’s coattails."

"What’s crazy is that the 2026 midterms are entirely in Trump’s control."

Will Donald Trump be a Primary Voting Factor in the 2026 U.S. Midterms?

At least five people were arrested and five others received citations in connection with alleged vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, with a total of 14 police reports filed, according to an administration official.

Former three-time U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn, 67, was arrested Friday on a misdemeanor charge of destruction of government property after touching a partially detached piece of the pool's liner. He was held for nearly five hours before being released and is scheduled to appear in D.C. Superior Court on July 9.

Trump posted on Truth Social that the pool "has been given a 300 foot long gash" and that "chemicals have been illegally placed in the water," warning of a 10-year prison sentence for destruction or attempted destruction of such structures.

The $14.2 million renovation, completed in early June, included repainting the pool "American flag blue" and waterproofing its bottom. Within days of reopening, an algae bloom turned the water green and sections of the blue coating began to peel.

National Park Service crews used hydrogen peroxide and nanobubble technology to combat the algae bloom. Scientists noted that summer conditions and the pool's darker interior, which absorbs more sunlight, make algae growth a natural occurrence.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said on Fox News that citations for vandalism had been issued and that anyone found to have introduced substances into the pool could face more serious charges. National Guard troops and Park Police increased their presence at the site following the reported damage.
