The NBC News Politics team’s newsletter, From the Politics Desk, provides insight into the federal judge drawing President Trump’s ire and the release of JFK files. James Boasberg, a bipartisan appointee with a record favoring Trump, blocked the administration’s migrant deportation efforts, leading to calls for his impeachment. The JFK files, released with redactions, reveal surveillance reports on Oswald and CIA operations during the Cold War. However, experts doubt the files will resolve doubts about Oswald acting alone in JFK’s assassination. The newsletter also covers Ukraine agreeing to a partial ceasefire, a federal judge blocking Trump’s ban on transgender military service, and the US Institute of Peace’s legal battle against a forced shutdown. Additionally, it includes updates on Trump considering giving up a NATO command, firing FTC commissioners, and NOAA’s reinstatement of fired employees. Other stories include Israel launching a ground operation in Gaza after a ceasefire collapse, the Federal Reserve leaving interest rates unchanged, Elon Musk pushing false claims, and political dynamics in Florida. The newsletter also discusses house leaders’ failure to appoint an ethics watchdog board and the Defense Department removing a page on Jackie Robinson’s military career. Lastly, a new NBC News poll shows a shift in voter perception of the executive branch and the courts having too much power, largely driven by Democratic-leaning voters. The newsletter is compiled by Adam Wollner and Bridget Bowman, and feedback can be sent to politicsnewsletter@nbcuni.com.
