AP Daily: Major developments on border wall and health costs from Trump administration

In the United States, the political agenda is enlivened by various allegations and legal processes directed at Donald Trump and his administration, while inter-party tensions are increasing ahead of the midterm elections. Democrats, alleging irregularities in donation campaigns organized for America's Independence Day, accused Trump-linked funds of fraud. On the other hand, as an election strategy, Republicans are running a fierce campaign of criticism linking Democrats to communism, and experts note that these connections do not coincide with reality.

In the field of security and immigration policies, a sudden increase reaching ten thousand in the number of people under surveillance occurred within five days, showing that the Trump administration's deportation pressure intensified in late June. The 46 billion dollar 'smart wall' project planned to be built on the US-Mexico border is progressing rapidly, while the need for this technology-focused structure continues to be a subject of debate. A daily fine imposed by a court after a former Fox News reporter refused to disclose his sources has become legally valid after the Supreme Court rejected the appeal and upheld the decision.

In the interior and security bureaucracy, the sudden departure of a high-ranking FBI agent in Chicago after being forced into retirement has raised questions about management crises within the institution. While the goal of increasing voter turnout rates in California was not reached, the extent to which extensions made in ballot counting processes affected the final results is a matter of curiosity. At the federal level, a rule proposal was aimed at ensuring Medicare patients save 1.1 billion dollars on prescription drugs.

Focusing on lowering health expenditures, this new proposal came to the agenda with the claim of offering a solution against the high cost of drug prices. It was decided to launch the 'Trump Accounts' project, described as Trump's social media accounts, on July 4, and this application, which plans to give 1000 dollars to newborn babies, is being discussed as an economic incentive. On the other hand, allegations such as the resignation of a high-ranking FBI official and being forced to retire have led to speculation about leadership changes and political pressure in federal law enforcement.

The general political atmosphere is witnessing the intensification of polarization and harsh rhetoric with the approach of elections. These debates, ranging from Democrats' fraud allegations regarding funds to Republicans' accusations of communism, are interpreted as strategic moves to determine the pulse of voters. The Supreme Court's strict stance on protecting journalism sources brings the tension between press freedom and judicial powers to the fore.
