This was not an easy decision to make, but I believe it is the right one, Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney’s parks, experiences and products division, via CNBC.

It is clear to me that the power of this brand comes from our incredible people, and we are committed to handling this change with care and compassion, Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney’s parks, experiences and products division, via CNBC.

The news comes after Governor Ron DeSantis targeted Disney's special district, which had allowed it to self-govern its operations for decades.

Trump tears into Biden with vicious insult during Florida speech at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’migrant jail

In a shocking and explosive speech from the launch of Florida’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center, Donald Trump hurled a vicious insult at former President Joe Biden, escalating the already fiery political rhetoric ahead of 2028. Standing beside Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem, Trump joked about being locked up himself—then turned his fury on Biden in a jaw-dropping verbal attack that’s making headlines nationwide. Critics have slammed the new facility as inhumane, while supporters hail it as a bold step in immigration enforcement. But it was Trump’s foul-mouthed tirade that stole the spotlight. Watch the unfiltered moment, reactions from both sides, and what it means for the 2028 race. #TrumpVsBiden #AlligatorAlcatraz #TrumpSpeech #MigrantCrisis #FloridaPolitics #RonDeSantis #KristiNoem #TrumpRally #Biden2028 #PoliticalFirestorm #ImmigrationPolicy #BreakingNews 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 Mike Johnson Dismisses Elon Musk's Criticism of Republican Tax and Budget Bill :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mike-johnson-downplays-musks-influence-on-republican-tax-bill-011-4175853.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.103~GR.125~

Trump and DeSantis Tour ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Deportation Camp | From GOP Rivals to Immigration Bros

In a stunning show of unity, former GOP rivals Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis toured a controversial new deportation facility in the Florida Everglades — dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” The swampy, isolated camp is designed to promote “self-deportation” by making conditions intentionally uncomfortable. Just last year, Trump branded DeSantis as “DeSanctimonious” during the brutal 2024 primaries — but now, he calls their relationship a “10 out of 10.” What does this alliance mean for U.S. immigration policy, and how will the public react to this extreme enforcement strategy? #Trump #DeSantis #Immigration #AlligatorAlcatraz #DeportationCamp #USPolitics #MAGA #GOP #FloridaPolitics #2025News #BreakingNews #SelfDeportation #TrumpDeSantisAlliance ~HT.318~ED.346~PR.274~GR.125~

In a shocking escalation of rhetoric, President Donald Trump has threatened to str!p U.S. citizenship and deport Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor.

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~
