'Separated from reality': Senate Republicans fume as Dems use Epstein saga to block Trump's agenda
Monday, 25 August 2025 () Congressional Democrats and Republicans clashed over transparency surrounding the Epstein files last month, and the issue is set to linger when lawmakers return to Washington next week.
President Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson and longtime Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce as the next U.S. deputy representative to the United Nations. Bruce, a fierce defender of Trump’s “America First” policies, has served as State Department spokesperson since his inauguration in January. Known for defending the administration’s tough stances on immigration, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and Israel’s Gaza offensive, Bruce is expected to bring combative rhetoric to the UN stage.
Her appointment will require Senate confirmation, where Republicans hold a majority. Trump praised her “fantastic job” at State, while Bruce called the role an honor and vowed to continue advancing U.S. priorities abroad. She will serve under Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for UN envoy, whose confirmation is pending. The move signals Trump’s push for loyalist voices in high-profile diplomatic posts at a time of intense geopolitical tensions.

Brazil's political crisis deepens as lawmakers in Congress stage a dramatic protest against the Supreme Court's decision to place former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest for violating a social media ban. Members from six major right-wing parties—including PL, PP, PSD, Novo, and Republicans—taped their mouths shut and threatened to occupy the plenary halls of both the House and Senate. Flávio Bolsonaro denounced the judiciary’s actions as a targeted assault on his family, while senior MPs demanded total amnesty and even impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes. With threats of “war” from Bolsonaro’s allies and growing public anger, Brazil faces a possible constitutional showdown.

As the 2026 Senate elections approach, both Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for a high-stakes battle. With the GOP holding a narrow 53–47 majority, control of just five key seats could determine how much power Donald Trump holds in a possible second term. Democrats are strategizing to flip seats across the South and Midwest, while Trump faces internal GOP rifts and divisive primaries. The outcome could define everything from legislation to Supreme Court picks. The fight for Congress is already underway—and it’s anything but certain.

Senator Lindsey Graham reveals that a sweeping new Senate sanctions bill is on the brink of passage, offering President Trump a “sledgehammer” to punish not only Russia but also its key global allies like China, India, and Brazil. The legislation empowers Trump to levy up to 500% in tariffs on any nation that continues trading with Moscow — a dramatic escalation in US policy that could reshape global trade dynamics.
Graham predicts “maximum flexibility” for presidential enforcement and signals an imminent surge in military aid to Ukraine, funded by frozen Russian assets. While Moscow dismisses the move as futile and claims it merely fuels Russia’s independence, the US plans to ratchet up pressure if diplomatic efforts falter. As this bold strategy takes shape, the world braces for a seismic shift in economic warfare.

Texas Republicans have redrawn congressional maps, aiming to add up to five new GOP seats and strengthen Trump’s slim House majority ahead of the 2026 midterms. This mid-decade redistricting—highly unusual outside the census cycle—turns Texas’ 38 seats into a national battleground. Democrats in California and other states are proposing counter maps, sparking lawsuits over racial gerrymandering. With a federal hearing set for August 2025, critics warn the move erodes trust in democracy, giving Trump a stronger legislative shield but no guarantee of long-term dominance.

The feud between Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom is intensifying as both exchange sharp attacks. Trump labeled Newsom “the man destroying California” and mocked him as “Newscum,” claiming he trails in polls. However, a new Echelon Insights survey shows Newsom surging to 13% support among Democratic voters for 2028, up from 4% in April, second only to Kamala Harris. Newsom’s aggressive strategy—directly mocking Trump on social media—has boosted his national profile, fueling speculation about his presidential ambitions.

Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force.

Abrego Garcia, long at the center of Trump’s immigration crackdown, was arrested again as DHS branded him an MS-13 gang member. In a video posted by DHS, Garcia said “Gobierno Corrupto” (“Corrupt Government”) before being taken behind bars. Trump allies, including Kristi Noem, called for his deportation to Uganda, but a federal judge temporarily blocked the move, citing Garcia’s clean U.S. record. With DHS insisting he is a dangerous criminal and Democrats defending him, the case has ignited a fresh political and legal battle over immigration.

The White House has released footage showing dozens of undocumented migrants being deported, sparking a fresh storm in America’s long-running immigration debate. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said such flights occur several times each week, claiming they make the country safer. But controversy deepened after a senior U.S. senator suggested America should “welcome and embrace all immigrants,” adding that the population is “not reproducing on its own.” Critics erupted, accusing him of undermining American families and pushing an agenda that fuels division. President Donald Trump has already seized on the debate, framing immigration as a fight that pits Americans against each other. With deportations on display, fiery rhetoric from lawmakers, and Trump amplifying the battle lines, immigration has once again become a defining fault line in U.S. politics, raising questions of identity, security, and the future of the American dream.

Donald Trump sparked global outrage after praising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “war hero,” despite the ICC issuing an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza. In an interview, Trump dismissed international accountability, criticizing the court for targeting Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. Israel is also facing a genocide case at the ICJ, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported dead. Trump defended his role in freeing Israeli hostages, boasted of U.S. airstrikes on Iran, and attacked Democrats in Washington.

Indian garment exporters are facing a major tariff shock as the Trump administration imposes a steep 50 percent duty on Indian exports. The move directly impacts garment exporters, shoe manufacturers, and leather industries that heavily rely on the US market. With Indian garment exporters already working on razor-thin margins, this tariff threatens millions of jobs and billions in trade revenues. Competitors like Vietnam and Bangladesh could benefit, while Indian garment exporters brace for losses. The Modi government is expected to step in with relief measures as Indian garment exporters explore new markets and diversification strategies. Oneindia’s Pankaj Mishra explains.
