“He looks terrible like”—Trump Blasts India-born 'Socialist Muslim' Zohran Mamdani | NYC Mayrol Poll

Donald Trump has launched a scathing personal attack on Zohran Mamdani — the 33-year-old Indian-origin socialist who just won New York City's Democratic mayoral primary. Calling him a "100% communist lunatic" with a "grating voice" and “terrible looks,” Trump didn't hold back. The president also lashed out at progressive Democrats like AOC and Chuck Schumer for backing Mamdani, warning that NYC is "falling to socialism." Who is Zohran Mamdani? Can a Marxist win New York? And why is Trump going nuclear over this primary upset? Watch the full story. #Trump #ZohranMamdani #NYCMayorRace #IndianAmerican #SocialistMayor #AOC #USPolitics #MiraNair #DemocraticPrimary #TrumpRage #DSA #ProgressivePolitics #NYC2025 ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.102~GR.124~

Planned Parenthood DEFUNDED? Pro-Life Uprising ROCKS U.S. | Senate CRUSHES Abortion Funding Move

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans. #PlannedParenthood #Medicaid #Protests #SenateVote #DefundPP #HealthcareCrisis #WomensHealth #ReproductiveRights #LilaRose #PattyMurray #VoteARama #MedicaidCuts #SCOTUS #AbortionDebate #HealthcareAccess #AmericaProtests #PPFunding #CongressWatch #USPolitics #BreakingNews #HealthEquity #ClinicClosures #ProLife #ProChoice #PolicyBattle #SenateShowdown #WomensRights ~ED.194~HT.408~

Trump Scores JUDICIAL VICTORY As SCOTUS Bars Judges’ Powers |Citizenship War LOOMS for 150K Newborns

In a 6–3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a major judicial win, curbing federal judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions that block presidential policies. Trump celebrated the ruling as a “monumental victory” for the Constitution, potentially clearing the path for sweeping policy moves, including controversial immigration actions. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor slammed the decision as a threat to the rule of law, warning it could erode judicial checks. While Trump’s birthright citizenship order remains blocked, the new ruling shifts the legal battlefield dramatically in his favor. #Trump #SupremeCourt #TrumpSupremeCourt #SupremeCourtRuling #SCOTUS #SupremeCourtNews #SupremeCourtLive #SupremeCourtToday #USSupremeCourt #TheSupremeCourt #SupremeCourtCases #SupremeCourtDecision #SupremeCourtOpinions #SupremeCourtJudges #SupremeCourtJustices #SupremeCourtDecisions #TrumpCourt #SCOTUSRuling #SupremeCourtUpdate #SCOTUSLive #SupremeCourt2025 #BirthrightCitizenship #SupremeCourtDebate #SupremeCourtWatch #SCOTUSNews Also Read ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Hosts Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Amid Regional Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-hosts-pakistan-army-chief-asim-munir-011-4185603.html?ref=DMDesc It's Shocking Actually: SC On Madras HC's Arrest Order On Tamil Nadu Cop HM Jayaram :: https://www.oneindia.com/chennai/its-shocking-actually-sc-on-madras-hc-arrest-order-on-tamil-nadu-cop-hm-jayaram-4184815.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.125~
