McConnell to Step Down as Senate Republican Leader

McConnell to Step Down , as Senate Republican Leader.

The Senate's longest-serving leader ever, Mitch McConnell, will step down in November, AP reports.

The 82-year-old made the announcement on Feb.

28.

One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

So I stand before you today ... to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

While McConnell will no longer serve as the Senate's Republican leader, he will complete his term, "albeit from a different seat in the chamber," he said.

That term ends in January 2027.

President Biden, 81, commented on the development.

I’ve trusted him and we have a great relationship.

We fight like hell.

But he has never, never, never misrepresented anything, President Joe Biden, via statement.

According to McConnell's aides, the announcement was not related to health issues.

As I have been thinking about when I would deliver some news to the Senate, I always imagined a moment when I had total clarity and peace about the sunset of my work, Mitch McConnell, via statement.

A moment when I am certain I have helped preserve the ideals I so strongly believe.

It arrived today, Mitch McConnell, via statement

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

US BREAKING: Vance SAVES Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ With Tie-Breaking Vote | Vance Saves The Day

Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass Trump’s controversial "One Big, Beautiful Bill" after a night of intense Republican negotiations. The bill, which faced opposition over Medicaid and food stamp cuts, nearly failed due to concerns from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Trump, in Florida visiting the Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center, received the news mid-trip. Vance declared it a “big win,” while critics, including Elon Musk and Democrats, called it disastrous. Musk has even threatened to form a new party in protest. #BigBeautifulBill #OneBigBeautifulBill #TrumpBill #BeautifulBillVote #BigBeautifulBillUpdate #BBBillExplained #BBBillAct #BigBeautifulBillTaxCuts #CongressBill #SenateVote #ICEBudgetBill #TrumpTaxCuts #RandPaul #MuskOnBill #TrumpLegislation #SenateDebate #BillExplained #PolicyUpdate #BudgetBill #BigBill2025 ~ED.420~HT.408~

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~

Trump Praises Laura Loomer Amid MAGA Crisis As She Launches Tip Line To Purge ‘Disloyal’ Officials

As MAGA infighting deepens, Donald Trump has publicly praised far-right activist Laura Loomer, calling her a “very nice person” and a “patriot” in response to a reporter's pointed question about her influence in his circle. The endorsement comes amid Loomer's own controversy — she recently unveiled a “tip line” aimed at helping Trump allies report and remove “disloyal” government staffers. Loomer claims Biden holdovers and anti-Trump insiders are sabotaging the movement from within and insists “hundreds” need to be purged. The president's warm words about her raise eyebrows, especially as he attempts to consolidate power ahead of the upcoming election. Loomer’s call for a MAGA-only government has sparked concern across Washington, while Trump appears to embrace her ideology. Critics see the move as a dangerous precedent, while supporters argue it's a long-overdue loyalty check. The line between activism and influence seems blurrier than ever inside Trump’s inner circle. #Trump #LauraLoomer #MAGA #TipLine #WhiteHouse #PoliticalPurge #DisloyalStaffers #Trump2024 #RadicalRight #DonaldTrump #FederalGovernment #BidenHoldovers #LoyaltyPurge #TrumpAdmin #FarRightPolitics #ConservativeActivism #MAGAInfighting #Patriotism #DeepState #Politico

Trump RIPS Charlamagne “The God” As ‘Low IQ Sleazebag’ | Attacks Daughter-In-Law’s Interview

U.S President Donald Trump launched a harsh public tirade against Charlamagne “The God,” calling him a “racist sleazebag” and “low IQ individual” while questioning the acceptability of his self-appointed moniker. Trump also took aim at his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, for appearing on Charlamagne’s show—highlighting the irony of her high ratings success. In a scathing statement, he hailed his own record of ending five wars, bolstering the economy, and slashing inflation, while denouncing “stupid and corrupt” President Joe Biden. The accusations included wiping out Iran’s nuclear ambitions and fixing the border, crafting a braggadocious defense of his performance in office. His unfiltered critique of both media and family members drew widespread attention, fueling a media storm and sparking debate about the boundaries of political discourse and public insult. #TrumpRant #CharlamagneTheGod #LaraTrump #LowIQ #RacistSleazebag #TrumpAttacks #FamilyDrama #EndingWars #TradePolicy #IranNukes #BorderSecurity #InflationDrop #MAGA #MediaFury #PoliticalInsults #SleazebagComment #TrumpEconomy #TrumpQuotes #PoliticalBombshell #TabloidHeadlines

US BREAKING: Trump FIRES Top Labor Official After Jobs Report Shows Tariffs RAISED Unemployment

President Trump has fired Bureau of Labor Statistics Director Erika McEntarfer following a disappointing July jobs report that added only 73,000 jobs and included major downward revisions to May and June. Trump accused the agency of political manipulation, claiming the numbers were “rigged” and damaging to the economy. Unemployment ticked up to 4.2%, sparking a 1.5% market drop. McEntarfer, a Biden appointee, became a target of Trump’s fury as economists warn that politicizing labor data could erode trust in a cornerstone of economic governance. #Trump #JobsReport #Unemployment #BLS #LaborStats #ErikaMcEntarfer #EconomicData #TruthSocial #JobMarket #TrumpNews #JulyJobs #MarketCrash #PoliticalDrama #USPolitics #DataManipulation #Economy2025 #JobsCrisis #BidenAppointee #TrumpFires #MarketReaction #EconomicTrust #WhiteHouse #TrumpRage #JobNumbers #LaborForce #RevisedData #TrumpSpeech #USLabor #EmploymentCrisis #BreakingNews Also Read Government Reacts To Donald Trump's Statement, Scraps Reports Of Indian Oil Firms Halting Russian Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-reacts-to-donald-trumps-statement-scraps-reports-of-indian-oil-firms-halting-russian-im-7818621.html?ref=DMDesc US vs. Russia: Trump Deploys Nuclear Submarines Amid Rising Tensions With Kremlin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/u-s-vs-russia-trump-deploys-nuclear-submarines-amid-rising-tensions-with-kremlin-7818561.html?ref=DMDesc US Prez Trump Announces New US Tariffs - Full List of Affected Nations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-announces-new-us-tariffs-full-list-of-affected-nations-011-7817571.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

Trump Defends Sydney Sweeney’s Controversial Jeans Ad — It’s 'Fantastic' Because She’s a Republican

U.S. President Donald Trump is under fire after praising actress Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle jeans ad — one critics are calling a "white supremacist dog whistle." Trump called the ad “fantastic” during a media interaction, but only after being informed that Sweeney is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The ad, which uses the pun “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” has been accused of having racial undertones and promoting problematic narratives. Online backlash exploded, yet Trump doubled down on his support, further politicizing the already heated campaign. This isn’t the first time Sweeney’s political affiliations have made headlines. From her MAGA-themed family party photos to her current GOP registration, the actress is quickly becoming a lightning rod in Hollywood’s culture wars. Watch the full video to see how fashion, politics, and celebrity culture collided — and why Trump’s comments may have made it worse. #Trump #SydneySweeney #AmericanEagle #TrumpSpeech #GOPHollywood #ControversialAd #WhiteSupremacy #MAGA #BreakingNews #RepublicanCelebrity #SweeneyAdBacklash #CultureWars #NobelPeacePrize #TrumpControversy #JeansAdScandal #TruthSocial #PoliticsAndFashion ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.103~

Trump’s BIGGEST ‘Betrayal’ To Americans? GOP Ally Slams Ukraine War Funding As Backstab To Voters [Video]

Trump’s BIGGEST ‘Betrayal’ To Americans? GOP Ally Slams Ukraine War Funding As Backstab To Voters

Outspoken Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has condemned U.S. funding for the Ukraine war, calling it a “complete betrayal” of American taxpayers. Referring to Trump’s 2024 victory, Greene argued that voters had rejected foreign wars, yet Washington continues to finance conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. She accused Democrats—and some neocon Republicans—of pushing an “America LAST” agenda while warning that such policies will alienate younger voters permanently. Greene even called Israel’s Gaza offensive a “genocide,” highlighting deep fractures within Trump’s GOP. Despite campaign promises to end the war, Trump recently approved additional military support for Kiev, including Patriot missile systems. The debate exposes growing discontent among Republican ranks about endless foreign interventions and unchecked military spending. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials praised Trump’s support, calling it a vital deterrent against Russian advances. Greene warned that ignoring these political alarm bells could prove disastrous for U.S. unity and voter trust. #MarjorieTaylorGreene #UkraineWar #GazaCrisis #Trump2024 #RepublicanDivide #USForeignPolicy #AmericaFirst #WarFunding #IsraelPalestine #Betrayal #TaxpayerMoney #StopTheWars #KievConflict #TrumpVsGOP #YoungVoterBacklash #TrumpMissiles #PatriotMissiles #MiddleEastTensions #BidenForeignPolicy #AmericanVoters Also Read Trump Claims Canada's Recognition of Palestinian State Complicates Trade Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-uses-canada-palestinian-state-recognition-leverage-trade-talks-011-7817517.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambition as a Global Peacemaker Faces Challenges Amid Gaza Ceasefire Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-global-peacemaker-gaza-ceasefire-challenges-011-7810943.html?ref=DMDesc 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 ~HT.408~

‘Obama Should Be Prosecuted…’ Trump’s EXPLOSIVE Claim On DNI Gabbard’s Findings On 2016 Elections [Video]

‘Obama Should Be Prosecuted…’ Trump’s EXPLOSIVE Claim On DNI Gabbard’s Findings On 2016 Elections

President Donald Trump has publicly backed Tulsi Gabbard after she declassified explosive findings that claim top Obama-era officials conspired to delegitimize Trump’s 2016 election victory. Gabbard, now serving as Director of National Intelligence, revealed “overwhelming evidence” that senior figures—including Obama, Brennan, and Clapper—used false intelligence to initiate the Trump–Russia collusion narrative. She labeled the alleged actions as a "treasonous conspiracy" designed to subvert the will of American voters. Trump praised Fox News and Gabbard on Truth Social, calling the report a bombshell. Gabbard is submitting all materials to the DOJ for criminal investigation. The report also casts doubt on the Steele Dossier and claims internal memos disproved cyber tampering allegations before they were altered to implicate Russia. The revelations could reignite political tensions ahead of the 2024 elections as Republicans push for legal action. #DonaldTrump #TulsiGabbard #Obama #RussiaHoax #ElectionFraud #2016Election #SteeleDossier #MuellerReport #FoxNews #BarackObama #FBI #CIA #DOJ #TruthSocial #BreakingNews #USPolitics #ElectionInterference #DeepState #Treason #TulsiLeaks
