Zuckerberg: White House 'pressured' Facebook during pandemic
Tuesday, 27 August 2024 The Biden administration was "wrong" to put pressure on Facebook over COVID-19 content during the pandemic, Mark Zuckerberg has said. The Meta boss says he "regrets" making certain decisions.
Mark Zuckerberg tells Congress that the Biden White House pressured Facebook to censor, Kamala Harris' first interview as a presidential nominee is set for CNN on Thursday, and much more.
In a massive second-term victory, U.S President Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion “Big Beautiful Bill” has officially cleared the U.S. Congress. Passed by a narrow margin of 218–214 in the House, the legislation delivers sweeping tax cuts, permanent extensions of his 2017 reforms, and major funding for border security and immigration enforcement. Despite deep Republican divisions and united Democratic opposition, Trump is set to sign the bill into law at a high-profile July 4th ceremony. What does this mean for America’s economy and the 2026 elections? Let’s break it down.

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration.
With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy. Is Washington walking away from Kyiv?

Senators Cory Booker and Ted Cruz engaged in a fiery exchange during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on threats to federal judges. As Cruz accused Democrats of remaining silent during threats against conservative justices, Booker pushed back, calling the remarks “dangerous” and a “patent lie.” The tense back-and-forth highlighted rising political divisions over judicial safety, enforcement of protest laws, and the legacy of Trump-era rhetoric. The hearing, titled "The Supposedly Least Dangerous Branch," underscored growing concerns about the politicization of the judiciary and partisan responses to violence and intimidation.

A federal court has struck down Donald Trump’s attempt to prematurely end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 500,000 Haitian immigrants. The judge ruled the move unlawful, citing procedural violations and the devastating impact on lives built under TPS. The Biden administration had extended protections until 2026 due to Haiti’s ongoing crisis, including gang violence and displacement. The ruling is a major setback for Trump’s deportation agenda and underscores judicial resistance to rolling back immigration relief programs.

In a shocking and explosive speech from the launch of Florida’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center, Donald Trump hurled a vicious insult at former President Joe Biden, escalating the already fiery political rhetoric ahead of 2028. Standing beside Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem, Trump joked about being locked up himself—then turned his fury on Biden in a jaw-dropping verbal attack that’s making headlines nationwide.
Critics have slammed the new facility as inhumane, while supporters hail it as a bold step in immigration enforcement. But it was Trump’s foul-mouthed tirade that stole the spotlight.
Watch the unfiltered moment, reactions from both sides, and what it means for the 2028 race.
