Donald Trump has stunned America by ordering the reopening and expansion of the infamous Alcatraz prison. The former president says the facility will house the country’s most “vicious and violent” offenders. Once home to criminals like Al Capone, Alcatraz shut down in 1963 and is now a popular tourist attraction. Critics, including top Democrats, have slammed the move as theatrical and legally dubious. Trump insists it’s a powerful symbol of law and order. But is this about justice, or just politics?

Kamala Harris wants Democrats to act like Elephants | Why and When? | Netizens react | Watch!

In her first public speech since leaving office, former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris left the internet baffled with a strange analogy—urging Democrats to “act like elephants.” Referring to a viral video of elephants at the San Diego Zoo huddling during an earthquake, Harris called on Democrats to “stand together” like the animals did. But the internet wasn't buying it. Social media erupted, calling the speech awkward, bizarre, and out of touch. #KamalaHarris #ElephantSpeech #ViralVideo #Democrats #PoliticalHumor #NetizensReact #HarrisSpeech #KamalaGaffe #USPolitics #CSPAN #Trending #Trump2025 #ElectionReactions #KamalaMeme #ViralSpeech #BizarrePolitics ~ED.103~HT.336~

Big Win for Trump: U.S Senate rejects bill to undo Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs

In a major political victory for Donald Trump, the U.S. Senate has rejected a resolution aimed at overturning his reciprocal tariffs, solidifying his economic stance even as the American economy shows signs of contraction. The resolution—introduced by Democrat Ron Wyden and backed by some Republicans-was narrowly defeated in a 49-49 vote. Vice President J.D. Vance broke the tie, blocking further Senate efforts to challenge Trump's use of emergency powers to impose tariffs.The vote came just hours after official data showed the U.S. economy shrinking for the first time in three years. Critics warn the tariffs could fuel inflation and worsen the economic outlook, but Trump maintains they are vital to counter global trade imbalances. #TrumpTariffs #SenateVote #USPolitics #BreakingNews #TradeWar #USEconomy #JDVance #RonWyden #Trump2025 #TariffDebate #Inflation #EconomicEmergency #CapitolHill #Republicans #Democrats #TariffWar #Trump #Vance ~ED.103~HT.336~GR.124~

'Dirty Tariff Games' Played By Trump? Elon Musk Makes $36 Billions Moments After Tariff Pause

Trump’s sudden 90-day tariff pause sparked market chaos and a massive tech rebound. Elon Musk’s Tesla surged 22%, boosting his net worth by $36 billion. Silicon Valley allies, including Mark Zuckerberg, gained big—while Nancy Pelosi’s portfolio dropped $7 million. A Trump Truth Social post urging followers to “buy” right before the announcement fueled allegations of insider advantage and market manipulation. While the S&P 500 recovered $4 trillion in value, analysts remain skeptical about long-term stability amid ongoing China tensions. #TariffPause #Trump #ElonMusk #Tesla #Zuckerberg #Pelosi #StockMarket #MarketManipulation #TradeWar #USChina #TruthSocial #SP500 #WallStreet #EconomicPolicy #TechStocks #NancyPelosi #TrumpTweet #BuyTheDip #MarketFrenzy #EthicsInPolitics #MarketVolatility #SiliconValley #TeslaStock #Amazon #Alphabet #USPolitics #GlobalTrade #PeterNavarro #TrumpAllies #BreakingNews #EconomicImpact ~GR.124~HT.408~
