California Governor Gavin Newsom has used his Labor Day message to criticise President Donald Trump over the economic pressures facing American workers.

In a post on X, Newsom said workers had built the country but argued that many Americans are now “working harder, paying more and falling further behind”.

He accused Trump of becoming wealthier while directing more wealth towards the richest Americans, and urged voters to “take our country back” in November.

“Workers built this country,” Newsom said, framing the message around wages, rising costs and economic inequality.

His comments come as Democrats and Republicans prepare for the November midterm elections, with the economy and the cost of living expected to remain major political issues.

American author Don Winslow has sharply criticised President Donald Trump, arguing that his administration has failed to bring peace to Ukraine or end the war involving Iran.

In a post on X, Winslow said Trump could resort to what he called “pure chaos” over the next 60 days as the November midterm elections approach.

“Trump can't bring peace to Ukraine. Trump can't end the Iran war. So for the next 60 days he will unleash pure chaos. That's his playbook,” Winslow wrote.

He further accused Trump of having no alternative strategy and warned of what he described as “unprecedented interference” on election day.

The comments come as Trump faces mounting political pressure over his handling of foreign conflicts and as the US heads towards another closely watched election.

Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has warned about what he described as the growing influence of “Democratic socialism”, urging Americans to remember the value of hard work ahead of Election Day.

In a Labor Day message shared on X, Pompeo said hard work was a foundation of America’s success and argued that the principle was being forgotten amid the rise of Democratic socialism.

“The dignity to be found from hard work is a universal truth and one of the foundations of America’s success,” Pompeo wrote.

He added that he hoped Americans would remember that value when they vote on Election Day.

Pompeo, who served as secretary of state under former President Donald Trump, has remained an outspoken conservative voice in US politics.

US Senator Martin Heinrich has pushed back against President Donald Trump’s suggestion that New Mexico could be renamed “New America”, saying he will continue to use what he described as the places’ “actual names”.

In a post on X, Heinrich said there are three names he would always use: the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario and New Mexico.

His comments came after Trump floated the idea of renaming New Mexico in a post on Truth Social, adding to a broader dispute over geographic names and presidential naming preferences.

Heinrich’s response signals continued resistance from Democrats to Trump’s proposed changes to familiar place names.

Former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger has sharply criticised a White House video showing President Donald Trump portrayed as the comic book character Green Lantern.

The video, shared by the White House on X, featured Trump declaring that “no evil shall escape my sight” while highlighting what it described as the growth of manufacturing in the United States.

Kinzinger, reacting to the post, dismissed the video in blunt terms, calling it “some of the stupidest crap” he had ever seen and describing it as “actually funny and pathetic.”

The exchange has drawn attention online, with critics questioning the use of superhero imagery in official presidential messaging.

US Representative Jamie Raskin has said President Donald Trump has committed offenses that could warrant impeachment, arguing that the number of concerns surrounding the administration is so extensive that there is “no time to remotely scratch the surface.”

Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Raskin told host Kristen Welker that the allegations and controversies surrounding Trump amount to impeachable offenses.

The Maryland Democrat has previously been a prominent critic of Trump and played a leading role in the first impeachment proceedings against him.

The comments come as Trump faces continued scrutiny from Democrats over his administration’s policies and conduct.

Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico has highlighted the growing housing affordability crisis in the United States by sharing the story of a Houston grandmother named Augusta.

Speaking at a campaign rally, Talarico said Augusta works 10 hour shifts at an airport but still struggles to cover basic living expenses. He said she and her five year old grandson are now facing eviction.

“In the United States Senate, we’re going to have Augusta’s back,” Talarico said, pledging to make housing affordability and the cost of living a priority.

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly shared AI generated images and videos on Truth Social that have attracted widespread attention and criticism.

A closer look at Trump’s childhood points to the influence of Pastor Norman Vincent Peale, whose teachings emphasised positive thinking and strong self belief. Peale was an important figure in the Trump family and his ideas may have contributed to the confidence that has characterised Trump’s public persona.

The connection offers one possible lens through which to examine Trump’s long standing approach to self promotion, political messaging and the use of provocative imagery.
