White House releases video promoting ‘justice the American way’ featuring Hollywood characters Critics have called Trump administration’s provocative video ‘slopaganda’, used to promote president’s agenda

“The 42-second video posted on the official X account of the White House on Thursday was met with almost universal mockery online, with comments accusing the Trump administration of immaturity, and likening its social media strategy to one run by teenagers.”

Senators demand investigation after ninth American killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in West Bank Lawmakers cite ‘consistent pattern’ in which Americans are being killed ‘without justice or accountability’
