Trump Nominates Tammy Bruce To UN Post In Bold ‘America First’ Move Amid Foreign Policy Battles

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. #Trump #TammyBruce #UnitedNations #USPolitics #AmericaFirst #FoxNews #ForeignPolicy #SenateConfirmation #MikeWaltz #GazaWar #UkraineWar #Russia #Israel #ImmigrationPolicy #UNDiplomacy #WhiteHouse #PoliticalAppointments #USNews #GlobalPolitics #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.346~

Brazilian Congress Erupts in Protest Over Bolsonaro’s Arrest|Tape Mouths, Threaten Action Against SC

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. #Bolsonaro #BrazilCongress #BrazilProtests #HouseArrest #SupremeCourt #AlexandreDeMoraes #FlavioBolsonaro #BrazilPolitics #AmnestyNow #WitchHunt #Brasilia #JairBolsonaro #LatinAmericaCrisis #DemocracyUnderFire #PoliticalShowdown ~HT.318~ED.103~PR.274~

Trump UNLEASHES ‘Sledgehammer’ Sanctions On Russia And Its Trading Partners | Trade War |Russia-U.S [Video]

Trump UNLEASHES ‘Sledgehammer’ Sanctions On Russia And Its Trading Partners | Trade War |Russia-U.S

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. #trump #graham #russia #sanctions #tariffs #geopolitics #ukraine #uspolitics #china #india #brazil #globaltrade #lindseygraham #trumpnews #foreignpolicy #russiaukraine #economicsanctions #sledgehammer #globaleconomy #USSenate Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Russia’s Ex-Transport Minister Roman Starovoyt Found Dead Hours After Dismissal From Putin Govt :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-s-ex-transport-minister-roman-starovoyt-found-dead-hours-after-dismissal-from-putin-govt-7794259.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc

BIG: Trump REDRAWS Texas Map To Stay In Power Forever? | 5 New Seats for Republicans Raise Alarms

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. #TexasPolitics #Redistricting #GOP #Trump #Midterms2026 #HouseMajority #Gerrymandering #VotingRights #PoliticalFight #Congress2026 #Republicans #Democrats #PoliticalBattle #TexasMap #Election2026 #TrumpAgenda #USPolitics #HouseSeats #NAACP #VotingRightsAct #BattlegroundTexas #CounterMaps #CaliforniaPolitics #PoliticalStrategy #RuralVsUrban #HispanicVoters #PoliticalPower #CongressionalMaps #DemocracyAtRisk #PoliticalNews ~HT.318~ED.103~

‘Newscum is Destroying California’ | Trump hits out at Newsom as California Guv’s ratings Skyrocket

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. #TrumpVsNewsom #GavinNewsom #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #2028Election #Democrats #Republicans #PoliticalShowdown #Polls #NewsomSurge #KamalaHarris #TrumpAttack #Election2028 #BreakingNews #PoliticalFeud #NewsomRising #USPresidentialRace #NewsomVsTrump #PoliticalDrama #TrumpNewsom #CampaignTrail #NewsomForPresident #TrumpClash #ElectionPolls #SocialMediaPolitics Also Read Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc US Imposed Sanctions On India To End Russia-Ukraine War, More Tariffs If Trump-Putin Talks Fail :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-imposed-sanctions-on-india-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-more-tariffs-if-trump-putin-talks-fail-7835021.html?ref=DMDesc Trump To Arrange Face-To-Face Meeting Between Putin And Ukraine's Zelenskyy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-arrange-face-to-face-meeting-between-putin-and-ukraines-zelenskyy-7833925.html?ref=DMDesc

Musk’s New Party ‘DEAD ON ARRIVAL’? Billionaire Cancels Key Meetings, America Party Plans COLLAPSE [Video]

Musk’s New Party ‘DEAD ON ARRIVAL’? Billionaire Cancels Key Meetings, America Party Plans COLLAPSE

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. #ElonMusk #MuskParty #Politics #USPolitics #Republicans #JDVance #Trump #ThirdParty #PoliticalNews #Musk2028 #AmericaPAC #RogerStone #AndrewYang #Election2028 #GOP #PoliticalShift #MuskVsTrump #BreakingNews #TeslaCEO #PoliticalDrama #Campaign2028 #ElectionNews #MuskBacksVance #WhiteHouseRace #PoliticalPower #MuskPAC #USNews #ElectionBattle #ThirdPartyFail #PoliticalComeback ~ED.420~HT.408~

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation [Video]

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party. They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying. #MAGA #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #JDVance #RogerStone #USPolitics #MidtermElections #MAGAInc #PoliticalDonations #AmericaParty #ScottPresler #AlexJones #Republicans #GOP #TrumpMusk #PoliticalComeback #Election2026 #GeorgeSoros #RightWing #PoliticalDrama ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~
