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.

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

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.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has ignited a heated feud with Donald Trump over GOP-led redistricting efforts in Texas, warning of a national “map arms race.” After Democrats blocked a Republican vote in Texas, Newsom mocked Trump on social media, vowing to retaliate by redrawing California’s maps to offset Republican gains.

U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a fiery attack on Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), calling her “Low (Very!!!) I.Q.” and challenging her to take a cognitive exam. In a scathing Truth Social post, Trump compared Crockett to members of the progressive “AOC Plus Three” squad and claimed she was “only slightly dumber.” He boasted about “acing” his own test during a recent physical at a military hospital, alleging Democrats would “fail” in “a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.” Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, recently called him a “piece of s---” during a public event, drawing national headlines.

Texas Redistricting WAR: Democrats Flee State to Block Republican's GOP Map |Abbott’s Vote Collapses

A dramatic showdown erupts in Texas as 51 Democratic lawmakers flee the state, heading to Illinois to block a Republican redistricting map backed by former President Donald Trump. The GOP-drafted map would add five Republican-leaning seats to the U.S. House, but Democrats say it's a blatant power grab that silences millions of voters. Without the two-thirds quorum needed to proceed, Governor Greg Abbott’s special session is now in chaos. As the redistricting war intensifies, Democrats call this political exile a fight for democracy, while Republicans label it cowardice.

The U.S. Senate has erupted into a political firestorm as Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion “One Big Beautiful Bill” sparks intense clashes between Republicans and Democrats. What was meant to be a victory lap for Trump ahead of July 4 has turned into a bitter war of words, with GOP lawmakers divided and Democrats pushing back fiercely. Senate Majority Leader John Thune admits there's no clear path forward, while House Speaker Mike Johnson pleads to keep the bill close to the original House version. With Elon Musk threatening to form a new “America Party” if the bill passes, the battle lines are drawn — and America is watching. Will Trump get his way?

Trump’s $3.3t Tax Bill Faces Senate REVOLT As Renewable Cuts Trigger Backlash | Debt Panic Grows

President Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion tax and spending bill has hit turbulence in the U.S. Senate. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is racing to meet Trump’s July 4 deadline, but faces internal GOP divisions. At least eight Republican senators oppose key parts of the bill, ranging from Medicaid cuts to renewable energy credit phaseouts. Some GOP factions demand deeper spending cuts, while others seek to protect healthcare and green energy. Meanwhile, markets are watching closely as the dollar dips and renewable energy stocks slide. Senators like Thom Tillis and Rand Paul have signaled likely opposition, placing final passage in jeopardy. Trump, watching closely, has lashed out at dissenters on social media. The bill, if passed, could reshape healthcare access for millions and eliminate major green energy incentives. Final voting may happen late Monday or early Tuesday, but only if Thune can negotiate a fragile consensus. #TrumpTaxBill #USSenate #GOPSplit #RenewableEnergy #GreenTaxCuts #DebtCeiling #HealthcareCuts #TrumpNews #JohnThune #RandPaul #ThomTillis #USPolitics #SenateVote #AmericanEconomy #BudgetDeficit #MedicaidCuts #EnergyPolicy #CongressWatch #TaxReform #BreakingNews ~GR.125~HT.408~
