The Trump administration has issued a sweeping new rule allowing immigration authorities to impose steep financial penalties on undocumented immigrants, in what officials describe as a major push to curb illegal immigration and encourage voluntary departures. Under the new policy, migrants who cross the U.S. border illegally may face fines of up to $500, while those who remain in the country after being ordered to leave could be fined $1,000 per day. Additionally, individuals who agreed to depart voluntarily but failed to do so may now be penalized up to $10,000. “This is about consequences,” said Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary…

In a dramatic end to its current term, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to release decisions on six high-stakes cases on June 27, shaping the future of presidential powers, civil rights, and healthcare. Among the most closely watched rulings is whether the Court will allow former President Donald Trump to enforce his controversial birthright citizenship policy while litigation is ongoing. Lower courts have blocked the policy, arguing it likely violates the 14th Amendment, but the Supreme Court could reshape the broader issue of whether a single judge should have the power to issue nationwide injunctions against presidential orders. The…

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has shown minimal movement in the wake of recent U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, according to multiple new polls released this week. While the military action has sparked renewed political debate and international concern, the data suggest that public opinion on the president’s overall job performance remains largely unchanged—albeit slightly lower than in early June. A Quinnipiac University poll conducted between June 22–24 shows that 41% of registered voters approve of the president’s performance, while 54% disapprove. This is only a modest increase from Quinnipiac’s earlier June 11 poll, which recorded 38% approval and…

President Donald Trump is intensifying efforts to push his sweeping tax legislation through the Senate before the July 4 deadline, as the bill encounters growing resistance and procedural obstacles. Returning to Washington from a NATO summit in Europe, Trump refocused his attention on domestic priorities, particularly the ambitious tax plan that the White House has dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill.” The legislation includes a range of provisions: an expansion of the child tax credit, creation of children’s investment accounts, increased estate tax exemptions, expanded deductions for high-tax states, new limits on Medicaid and food stamps, and tax exemptions on tips…

Former President Donald Trump launched a fierce verbal attack on Zohran Mamdani, calling the progressive Democrat a “100% crazy communist” after Mamdani’s unexpected victory in the Democratic primary for New York City. Trump made the comments during a press briefing on June 25, in response to a question about rising left-wing voices within the Democratic Party. “You’ve got people like Mamdani winning elections now – he’s a 100% crazy communist. That’s who’s running the Democratic Party these days,” Trump said, accusing Democrats of drifting too far left. Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and a former state…

President Donald Trump is intensifying his focus on the Arctic region, revealing plans not only to acquire Greenland but also to bolster U.S. capabilities in the icy waters of the far north by purchasing a fleet of icebreaker vessels. During a press conference in the Netherlands on June 25, following the NATO summit, Trump confirmed that he is in talks with Finland to acquire 15 icebreakers—specialized ships designed to navigate and cut through frozen seas. He made the announcement in response to a question from a Finnish journalist, praising Finland’s expertise in constructing such vessels. “I want to buy icebreakers.…

President Donald Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) in recognition of his involvement in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran following a brief but intense military conflict. The nomination was submitted to the Norwegian Nobel Committee on June 24. In his nomination letter, Rep. Carter credited Trump with “bold action” and “championing peace through strength,” which he says helped bring an end to the 12-day exchange of hostilities that began on June 13, when Israel launched attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. Iran responded with a series of counterstrikes, and on June…

Trump Mobile, the recently launched cellular service affiliated with President Donald Trump’s business empire, is standing by its claim that the new T1 smartphone is made in the United States—despite changes to its marketing language and mounting public skepticism. The T1 Phone, unveiled earlier this month alongside Trump Mobile’s new 5G cellular network, initially featured prominent “MADE IN AMERICA” branding on its website. However, by June 25, all such language had been removed, according to reporting by The Verge. The updated website now uses broader phrases like “brought to life right here in the USA” and “proudly American,” avoiding definitive…

President Donald Trump described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “misguided” and “difficult” while admitting that resolving the war in Ukraine has proven far more challenging than he initially believed. His remarks came during a press conference at the conclusion of the NATO summit in the Netherlands, where he also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Speaking to reporters, Trump said he expected the conflict between Russia and Ukraine would be “settled easy” within his first few months in office, but conceded that Putin has not been as cooperative as he had hoped. “Putin has been more difficult than I thought,”…
