But Vivek’s rise, if things go according to plan he might become the third Indian-origin governor of an American state after Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley, is not just a litmus test of an Indian-American’s success story in US politics. It is a test of how far the MAGA tent will accommodate a brown non-Christian man and also how far an Indian-American can go in Trump’s America.

Much as America’s crisis of masculinity is real, Trump and MAGA have sold a false fix for it. So when Trump leaves, and his snake oil’s effect wears off, American men of his camp are bound to have a rude awakening

The important detail, of course, is that this was not just whiskey. It was Kash Patel whiskey, or at least whiskey transformed into a Kash Patel object, reportedly engraved with “Kash Patel FBI Director”, an FBI-style shield, an eagle, his signature and the number 9, presumably a reference to his place in the line of FBI directors.

Candace Owens publicly criticized Donald Trump over his support for extending FISA Section 702, sparking debate among supporters. Owens argued the move threatens civil liberties, while Trump defended it as essential for national security. The clash has exposed growing divisions within MAGA, highlighting tensions between protecting rights and ensuring safety.

Post-shooting, Trump will get a ratings bump. Question is whether he will squander it by doubling down on the Iran war, misreading public mood again

Candace Owens has sparked intense debate after a viral clip showed her sharply criticizing Donald Trump’s influence over the maga movement. Questioning his leadership and legacy, she suggested his grip on supporters has weakened. Her remarks, coming from within conservative circles, have divided audiences, with some backing her stance while others see it as a dramatic and controversial attack.

The post he was referring to was not a casual complaint about low likes, nor the usual algorithmic folklore that surfaces whenever someone’s reach dips. It came from an X user called BLΛC, an artist who said he had spent four years on the platform, built more than 60,000 followers, posted every day with discipline, and then watched his reach fall by more than 40% over three months without changing anything about his work.

Following Operation Epic Fury, Donald Trump announced significant breakthroughs, claiming Iran's nuclear program has been suspended and the Strait of Hormuz reopened. He stated the US will secure "nuclear dust" without financial exchange, asserting Iran's nuclear ambitions are shut down and a broader conflict-ending deal is nearing completion.

For nearly a decade, Donald Trump held together a coalition that should not have worked. It combined voters exhausted by America’s endless wars with others who believed the country had grown too hesitant to use its power. Trump made that contradiction look like coherence. He could sound like a sceptic of foreign interventions and a champion of overwhelming force, often within the same speech, and his supporters would hear what they wanted to hear.

The US-Iran standoff in the Strait of Hormuz remains unresolved just days before the ceasefire deadline, with tensions rising again after Iran rejected claims by US President Donald Trump that it had agreed to major concessions. Tehran announced it would tighten control over the waterway, citing US violations and “bogus victory claims.” The situation escalated after reports of gunfire forced Indian vessels to turn back, prompting a strong protest from New Delhi. Both sides are now on high alert, with uncertainty over whether the ceasefire will hold or lead to renewed conflict.

If anything, this moment feels like a rare theological pullback, a reminder that the Church, for all its history of intrigue and compromise, still retains its oldest function: to define the boundaries of right and wrong when politics refuses to.

President Trump sharply criticized Pope Leo XIV, labeling him "weak on crime" and "terrible for foreign policy." Trump accused the pontiff of being soft on Iran's nuclear ambitions and opposing US military actions, while the Pope had called for peace and dialogue amid global conflicts.

Donald Trump strongly criticized Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones in a Truth Social post, calling them attention-seeking and irrelevant. The four commentators had raised concerns about his approach and decisions. Trump rejected their views, saying they do not represent his supporters, making the disagreement a clear and public split within his own conservative circle.

President Donald Trump publicly criticized Bruce Springsteen on social media, accusing the musician of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and calling him a "boring singer." Trump urged his MAGA supporters to boycott Springsteen's concerts, citing the singer's long-standing vocal opposition to his presidency and policies. This latest exchange continues a feud that began in 2016.

JD Vance responded to Joe Rogan after the podcast host derided MAGA supporters as “dorks” and “unintelligent,” highlighting a widening rift with Donald Trump’s administration. Rogan, once supportive, now criticizes policies on Iran, immigration and the Epstein files. Vance downplayed the remarks, defended deportation efforts and insisted the administration remains committed to its agenda amid tensions today.
