The key for them is not to focus
on each other but the person who’s
at the top.

on abortion should be left to each individual state.
Another likely focus, according to the 'NYT,' is leading
Trump rival Ron DeSantis, who has been facing a string
of bad press and declining popularity in the polls.

DeSantis will be one of the eight potential
candidates to take the stage on August 23.
Tensions between Washington and Caracas have reached a breaking point as President Donald Trump authorizes the deployment of seven U.S. warships and 4,500 troops off the Venezuelan coast. The move is widely seen as a direct provocation of President Nicolás Maduro’s government, which has already condemned the buildup as an act of aggression.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Donald Trump has revealed his next high-profile “criminal” target, turning his fury on former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie just days after the FBI raided the home and office of his ex-National Security Adviser John Bolton. Trump mocked Christie in a fiery social media rant, accusing him of lying about the George Washington Bridge scandal and calling for the case to be reopened. The former president’s tirade came as Bolton remains under investigation for alleged mishandling of classified documents linked to his 2020 memoir, which Trump previously denounced as a national security threat. Trump’s declaration that “no one is above the law” signals an intensifying campaign of political revenge against former allies who broke ranks during his presidency. With Christie running as one of Trump’s fiercest critics in 2024, the confrontation marks yet another explosive twist in the ex-president’s battle with his old inner circle.

A dramatic series of no-fly zone breaches rocked Bedminster, New Jersey, over the weekend while U.S. President Donald Trump was present at his private golf club. According to NORAD, at least seven violations of the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) zone occurred, including one major incident on Sunday afternoon that required fighter jets to intercept a civilian aircraft using flares. NORAD stated the flares may have been visible to the public but were deployed safely. The intercepted aircraft was safely escorted out of the restricted airspace.
These incidents are not isolated — similar breaches have occurred during Trump's visits in the past. NORAD emphasized that pilots must stay updated on FAA notices to avoid such security lapses. The situation has once again raised concerns about presidential airspace security and pilot compliance near high-risk zones, especially with such repeated breaches at the Bedminster location in a short period.

Nikki Haley has sharply criticized Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian goods over New Delhi’s Russian oil purchases, calling the move "strategically dangerous." In a viral post on ‘X’, the former UN Ambassador warned Trump not to “burn a relationship with a strong ally like India” while giving China a tariff pause. Haley emphasized the importance of U.S.-India ties amid rising Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific, exposing deep divisions within the GOP on trade and foreign policy strategy.

U.S. President Donald Trump was left scrambling when asked if the United States still imports uranium and fertilisers from Russia—despite threatening India over its purchases of Russian crude oil. “I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said, dodging the question during a press briefing. His remarks came as India lashed out at what it calls Western hypocrisy, citing billions of dollars worth of U.S. imports from Russia, including enriched uranium, palladium, and fertilisers.
Trump has warned of “substantial” tariff hikes on Indian imports, criticizing New Delhi’s Russian energy ties. Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley also criticised Trump for giving China “a pass” while risking ties with a major ally like India. The contradiction is fuelling diplomatic tensions and raising questions over U.S. trade ethics in the Ukraine war era. India’s response underscores growing frustration in the Global South over selective enforcement of geopolitical pressure.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has defiantly declared that the United States cannot invade his country, even as Washington intensifies its military buildup in the Caribbean. The U.S. Navy has deployed eight warships, thousands of marines, and even a nuclear submarine close to Venezuela’s waters, sparking fears of a wider conflict. In response, Caracas has mobilized 15,000 troops, drones, and warships to reinforce security along the Colombia border. While U.S. officials insist the deployment is aimed at combating drug cartels, critics argue the scale of the operation points to a regime change agenda. Venezuela’s ambassador to the UN ridiculed the move, saying “no one fights drug cartels with nuclear submarines.” Meanwhile, Washington doubled its bounty on Maduro to $50 million, intensifying the pressure. Maduro insists Venezuela is stronger than ever and ready to confront what he calls an imperialist threat to sovereignty and peace.
