Trump Fires Three Remaining Members of the Election Assistance Commission Ahead of Midterms
President Trump on Thursday fired the three remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Two Democrat commissioners Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland were fired over email.
The lone Republican commissioner, Christy McCormick, resigned.
The firings left the independent commission with no commissioners.
The firings come after the Supreme Court ruled that a US president has the authority to fire heads of independent agencies in the executive branch.
Reuters reported:
U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday terminated the members of the Election Assistance Commission, the independent, federal commission that assists election administration officials nationwide, according to one person familiar with the decision and two other people briefed on the terminations.
The remaining three commissioners of the four-member bipartisan commission were forced out of the commission on Thursday in different ways. The one Republican appointee resigned and the other two Democratic appointees were notified of their termination via an email by the White House Presidential Personnel Office.
“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as Commissioner of the Election Assistance Commission is terminated, effective immediately. Thank you for your service,” the email, seen by Reuters, said.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Election Assistance Commission serves as a “national clearinghouse of information on election administration,” accredits testing laboratories and certifies voting systems, and maintains the national mail voter registration form developed by the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, according to the commission’s website.

Therapists Publish Article Claiming Woke Ideology in Psychology is Making Leftists Even Crazier
Two therapists have just published an academic article claiming that woke ideology in psychology is damaging the field and the minds of leftists.
In their writing, the two actually acknowledge that progressives have ‘poorer’ mental health than people on the right, something conservatives have known for years.
They suggest that the integration of wokeness with their field has worsened the problem.

Not Making Headlines: Dr. Oz Announces Crackdown on Durable Medical Equipment Fraudsters and Fraudulent Medicare Tissue and Organ Transplant Claims – Saving American Taxpayers Millions
Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, announced on Thursday that 725 durable medical equipment suppliers had their billing privileges revoked.
According to Dr. Oz, these suppliers represent more than $1.5 billion billed to Medicare just last year!
In just six months Dr. Oz and the Trump administration have effectively wiped out Durable Medical Equipment (DMS) fraud in America.
Dr. Oz and the Trump Administration also cracked down on fraudulent Medicare claims for tissue and organ transplants.
Pro Trump News and IJR reported:
The Trump administration says a dramatic increase in Medicare claims for tissue and organ transplants has led to a nationwide fraud crackdown that is blocking millions of dollars in suspicious billing.
According to Fox News, new figures released Wednesday show Medicare claims for allografts, or tissue and organ transplants, climbed from approximately $200 million in 2019 to $14.4 billion in 2025.
Administration officials said the 7,100% increase prompted a closer review by the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
CMS, led by Administrator Mehmet Oz, said it identified about 4,200 suspicious transplant claims totaling $224 million through May. Since March, the agency has denied 96% of claims submitted in that category.
Speaking in Milwaukee, Oz said the sharp rise in billing posed a significant financial threat.
“That’s a lot of money,” he said. “And that bankrupts not just hospital systems and physician groups, but it causes major problems across the entire system.”
