Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Zohran Mamdani As A Symbol Of “Radical Policy” Destabilizing American Values

In a fiery political escalation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took direct aim at Zohran Mamdani — the presumptive Democratic frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race — accusing him of embodying “radical” left-wing ideals. Labeling Democrats as “doubling down on craziness,” Leavitt claimed Mamdani's policies threaten the “very fabric of the country.” The attack reflects growing Republican unease with Mamdani’s rising influence, particularly after his viral interview clip showed him eating biryani with his hands while championing Third World-inspired politics. With his open support for Palestine, socialism, and progressive reform, Mamdani has drawn praise and vitriol in equal measure. As Trump’s White House attempts to frame the 2025 elections as a choice between order and chaos, Mamdani is emerging as a lightning rod in the cultural and political battlefield. The clash signals a deeper national confrontation brewing around race, identity, and radicalism. #ZohranMamdani #NYCMayoralRace #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouseAttack #RadicalLeft #DemocratsVsGOP #USPolitics #TrumpEra #MamdaniUnderFire #NYCPolitics #PalestineSupport #BiryaniPolitics #IdentityPolitics #PoliticalDrama #ProgressiveAgenda #RepublicanPushback #LeavittVsMamdani #MayoralElection2025 #CultureClash #LeftVsRight ~ED.194~HT.408~

BREAKING: White House DEFENDS Netanyahu Amid Corruption Trial |Trump Sees ‘Witch Hunt’ in Israel

The White House is drawing comparisons between Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption trial and Donald Trump's own legal troubles, calling both politically motivated “witch hunts.” Trump’s team has voiced strong empathy, with spokespersons saying he sees Netanyahu as a fellow target of a biased judicial system. The statement comes as both leaders battle mounting legal pressure, framing their court cases as attacks from political enemies. Trump, in recent posts, urged for Netanyahu’s trial to end—underscoring growing solidarity between the embattled leaders. #TrumpNews #NetanyahuTrial #CorruptionCharges #GazaWar #GlobalPolitics #TrumpSupport #BibiNetanyahu #JusticeSystem #PoliticalDrama #WitchHunt #TrumpIndictments #IsraelNews #MiddleEastNews #GazaCrisis #USIsraelRelations #LegalFight #NetanyahuSupport #TrumpStatements #BibiTrial #WhiteHouseNews #BreakingNews #IsraelNews #MiddleEastNews #GazaCrisis #USIsraelRelations #LegalFight #NetanyahuSupport #TrumpStatements #BibiTrial #WhiteHouseNews #BreakingNews Also Read Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Labels Netanyahu Case A ‘Witch Hunt,’ Blasts Israeli Prosecutors :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-labels-netanyahu-case-a-witch-hunt-blasts-israeli-prosecutors-7786131.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

White House Press Sec Leavitt SLAMS Democrats and Thom Tillis On Criticism of ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ [Video]

White House Press Sec Leavitt SLAMS Democrats and Thom Tillis On Criticism of ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

The White House is doubling down on President Donald Trump’s controversial "$3.3 trillion Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it the largest tax cut in American history. At a press briefing, the Press Secretary emphasized the bill’s core goal: delivering relief to everyday, working-class Americans. Framing it as a win for the middle class, the administration claims the package not only reduces taxes but also rebalances the economic scales. Critics, however, warn of soaring deficits, potential slashes to Medicaid, and threats to renewable energy incentives. As GOP lawmakers remain divided on spending cuts and debt ceiling increases, this bold push represents Trump’s defining legislative gamble before July 4. With the Senate preparing for a vote-a-rama, the future of this bill could reshape America's fiscal trajectory — or spark fresh political chaos. #TrumpBill #TaxCuts #BigBeautifulBill #MiddleClassRelief #USPolitics #GOPTaxPlan #TrumpEconomy #DebtDebate #SenateVote #USBudget #TrumpWhiteHouse #PressSecretary #TaxReform #WorkingClassAmerica #RepublicanSplit #DebtCeiling #HistoricLegislation #Trump2025 #FiscalPolicy #WhiteHouseNews ~ED.194~HT.408~

VIDEO: Texas Congressman Gill MOCKS Mamdani To 'Go Back To Third World' Over Biriyani Video

A Texas Republican Congressman, Brandon Gill, sparked outrage after making a racist remark against Indian-origin New York politician Zohran Mamdani for eating biryani with his hands. Gill reshared a video of Mamdani eating during an interview and wrote, “Civilized people in America don’t eat like this. Go back to the Third World.” The video showed Mamdani discussing taboo topics in U.S. politics while calmly eating. Ironically, Gill is married to Danielle D’Souza, daughter of Indian-American commentator Dinesh D’Souza. Social media erupted, highlighting hypocrisy and sharing photos of Trump eating with his hands. Gill has a history of racist rhetoric, recently posting two contrasting pictures of Los Angeles to argue against immigration. Mamdani, born in Uganda and raised in NYC, was explaining how his worldview on Palestine is shaped by his Third World roots. The comment by Gill has triggered a larger debate on race, culture, and what defines “American values.” #ZohranMamdani #BrandonGill #RacismInPolitics #TexasCongressman #IndianOrigin #BiryaniGate #ThirdWorld #CulturalRacism #Islamophobia #PalestinePolitics #AmericanValues #TrumpHypocrisy #RightWingRacism #EndWokeness #DineshDSouza #DanielleDSouza #UgandaToNYC #NewYorkPolitics #GOPControversy #MamdaniSpeaks ~HT.408~

Musk's SpaceX’s Ninth Starship Test Crumbles Mid-Mission; Falls and Crashes Into Indian Ocean| Watch

SpaceX’s highly anticipated ninth Starship test flight ended in failure after a series of critical malfunctions mid-mission. Launched on May 27, 2025, from Starbase in Texas, the spacecraft initially achieved a successful ascent but quickly spiraled out of control due to a fuel system leak. The mission, which aimed to test reentry dynamics with missing heat-shield tiles and deploy eight Starlink simulator satellites, suffered multiple setbacks—including a booster loss and payload door failure. #SpaceXStarship #StarshipFlight9 #SpaceX #ElonMusk #StarshipSpaceX #Starship #SpaceXStarshipLaunch #StarshipLaunch #SpaceXLaunch #StarshipNews #SpaceXStarshipTest #StarshipFlightTest #Starship9 #InsideSpaceXStarship #StarshipUpdate #SpaceXNews #Flight9Starship #SpaceXStarshipHop #SpaceXStarshipBase #SpaceXStarship9 Also Read SpaceX Starship Explodes Mid-Flight During Third Test, Firm Cites 'Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/spacex-starship-explodes-mid-flight-during-third-test-firm-cites-rapid-unscheduled-disassembly-4165683.html?ref=DMDesc As Sunita Williams Returns To Earth From Space Odyssey, Visuals From Dragon's Splashdown Out | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/as-sunita-williams-returns-to-earth-from-space-odyssey-visuals-from-dragons-splashdown-out-watch-4098607.html?ref=DMDesc Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore Return To Earth Safely After Unplanned 9-Month Space Mission :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/sunita-williams-butch-wilmore-return-to-earth-safely-after-unplanned-9-month-space-mission-4098583.html?ref=DMDesc
