Faith leaders from across the southern United States are preparing to stage demonstrations beginning July 14, targeting congressional districts to protest federal budget cuts they say will deeply harm vulnerable Americans, particularly in the South. The protests are a response to the recently passed federal spending bill, dubbed by President Donald Trump as the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” While the bill delivers substantial tax cuts, it also includes sweeping reductions to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), sparking concern among social justice advocates and religious leaders. “We are not going to allow the damage, destruction, and death that…

The recent death of a 57-year-old Mexican farmworker during a U.S. immigration sweep in California has drawn renewed attention to the human cost of aggressive immigration enforcement under former President Donald Trump. Jaime Alanis died on July 12 from injuries sustained the previous day while allegedly attempting to evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during a raid on two cannabis farms in Ventura County, north of Los Angeles. According to multiple reports, Alanis climbed onto a greenhouse roof in an effort to avoid capture, but fell approximately 30 feet, resulting in a fatal neck injury. He later died in…

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russia, threatening to impose 100% secondary tariffs if the war in Ukraine does not come to an end within the next 50 days. The remarks came during a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House, where Trump expressed deep frustration with Moscow’s stance on peace negotiations. “We are very unhappy — I am — with Russia. I’m disappointed in President Putin,” Trump said, referring to the stalled efforts to reach a settlement. “If we don’t have a deal in 50 days, we’re going to impose very severe…

As Fox News continues to dominate American cable television viewership, a growing number of advertisers — including corporations, advocacy groups, and foreign governments — are using the network as a conduit to reach one highly influential viewer: President Donald Trump. According to Jeff Collins, president of ad sales at Fox Corporation, the network has experienced a sharp rise in advertising revenues, largely driven by demand from organizations seeking to influence the White House. “We’re seeing a lot of advertiser demand for that audience, whether it’s an audience of one or an audience of twelve,” Collins told the Financial Times. “There…

President Donald Trump’s recently signed economic package—dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” (BBB)—has been hailed by some in business circles for its tax breaks, but experts argue it could be one of the most economically damaging policies in U.S. history. While short-term gains may please markets, the long-term consequences of this policy could reshape global capital flows, undermine U.S. competitiveness, and fuel inflation. The Logic Behind the Bill: Trickle-Down Revisited The BBB relies heavily on trickle-down economics, a strategy centered on the belief that tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations will spur job creation and economic growth. History, however, offers…

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified his tariff campaign against key global partners, issuing new threats and policy demands that experts describe as politically unfeasible and strategically incoherent. The latest wave of tariff threats has raised alarm in both the European Union and Brazil, two regions now caught in the crosshairs of Trump’s unpredictable trade approach. An Escalating Campaign of Pressure Last week marked another turbulent period in U.S. trade diplomacy. Despite markets remaining relatively calm, trade experts warn that the situation could deteriorate rapidly by August 1, when Trump’s proposed 30% “reciprocal” tariffs are scheduled to take effect—unless…

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced plans to supply Ukraine with Patriot missile systems, citing an urgent need to bolster the country’s air defenses against a surge in Russian attacks. The move, he said, will be financially backed by European allies. In his most direct remarks yet on the delivery of advanced weaponry, Trump told reporters late Sunday: “We will send them Patriots, which they desperately need… I haven’t agreed on the number yet, but they are going to have some, because they do need protection.” Trump also criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying: “Putin really surprised a lot…

Public opinion on immigration in the United States has shifted dramatically in a more positive direction, even as President Donald Trump intensifies his immigration crackdown, according to a new Gallup poll released July 11. The survey, conducted between June 2 and June 26 with a sample of 1,402 Americans, found that positive views of immigration have soared to a record 79%, while the share of Americans who believe immigration should be decreased has dropped to 30% — down from a five-year high of 55% in 2024. The shift comes in the midst of sweeping and controversial enforcement measures by the…

President Donald Trump has reignited his long-standing feud with comedian and former TV host Rosie O’Donnell, this time by threatening to revoke her U.S. citizenship in a post published on his Truth Social platform. “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote. “She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” O’Donnell’s representatives responded by pointing media outlets to a personal statement she shared on Instagram…

President Donald Trump’s once-warm relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be fraying, as Russia intensifies its air campaign against Ukraine and rebuffs U.S.-led ceasefire efforts. Despite repeatedly claiming he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, more than six months into his second term, Trump now finds himself frustrated with the Russian leader he once praised. “We get a lot of b**shit thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth,” Trump told reporters on July 9. “He’s very nice to us all the time, but it turns out to…
