U.S: Homan Slams AOC Over Ice Webinar, Questions Advice To Migrants Amid Rising Border Tensions

U.S. Migrants: Trump border czar Tom Homan has blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over a webinar advising migrants on how to respond to ICE encounters.

Senate Confirms Tulsi Gabbard As Trumps Director Of National Intelligence Despite Partisan Divide

The Senate confirmed Tulsi Gabbard as President Trumps Director of National Intelligence, despite strong partisan opposition. The 52-48 vote reflected Trumps continued influence over the GOP, with only Sen. Mitch McConnell voting against her. Gabbard, a former congresswoman and Iraq war veteran, faced scrutiny over her controversial past stances, including her support for Edward Snowden. Critics from both parties voiced concerns, but Gabbards confirmation signals a significant shift in U.S intelligence leadership. #TulsiGabbard #SenateConfirmation #TrumpDNI #IntelligenceCommunity #GabbardConfirmation #MitchMcConnell #GOP #NationalSecurity #IntelligenceChief #Trump2024 #GabbardDNI #EdwardSnowden #ForeignPolicy #BipartisanPolitics #PoliticalDivide #USIntelligence #Republicans #PoliticalAppointments #RFKJr #DNIAppointment #BidenAdministration Also Read Tulsi Gabbard Alleges Democratic Senators Are Fomenting Religious Bigotry Against Hindus and Hinduism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/democratic-senators-religious-bigotry-hindus-hinduism-011-4058093.html?ref=DMDesc Tulsi Gabbard Addresses Serious Allegations of Indian Government Directed Assassinations Against Americans :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/allegations-indian-government-assassinations-americans-011-4058079.html?ref=DMDesc Tulsi Gabbard Appointed Director Of National Intelligence By Donald Trump.

Trump Says It’s ‘Too Early’ to Endorse JD Vance as 2028 Republican Successor, Sparks GOP Speculation

Donald Trump declined to endorse Vice President JD Vance as his Republican successor in 2028, calling it “too early” to make that decision. In a Fox News interview, Trump praised Vance’s capabilities but insisted other strong contenders exist. Vance, once a Trump critic, has since aligned himself closely with the former president. Some conservatives say Trump’s move isn’t a snub but a challenge for Vance to prove himself. The remarks have fueled speculation over the GOP’s future leadership as the political landscape for 2028 begins to take shape. #Trump #JDVance #GOP #RepublicanParty #2028Elections #FoxNews #BretBaier #VanceForPresident #TrumpInterview #Election2028 #VPVance #TrumpVance #USPolitics #Conservative #WhiteHouse #PoliticalNews #Trump2024 #FutureGOP #ElectionNews #PoliticalDebate #Peripheral Also Read Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's Washington Visit Aims to Establish Trust with President Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/japan-ishiaba-washington-trip-trump-connection-011-4065309.html?ref=DMDesc Marco Rubio Highlights Trump's Genuine Interest in Greenland and Panama Canal Due to China Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rubio-trump-greenland-panama-canal-china-concerns-011-4058145.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Controversial Claims Linking Diversity Hiring to DC Plane Crash Under Scrutiny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-dei-for-dc-plane-crash-011-4058133.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~GR.125~HT.96~
