In a dramatic escalation, U.S. warplanes under President Trump’s command unleashed 13 relentless airstrikes on Houthi targets just hours after a deadly American bombing in Yemen’s Hodeidah. The strikes, part of a 24/7 campaign, come in response to rising Houthi aggression in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. As smoke and fire engulf rebel strongholds, reports suggest this could be one of the most intense aerial assaults yet. With the Houthis vowing revenge and U.S. forces doubling down, tensions in the region are reaching a breaking point

In a stunning late-night decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has halted the Trump administration’s controversial plan to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — a wartime law not used since WWII. The emergency ruling comes after civil rights groups warned of mass deportations at Texas detention centers, invoking fears of legal overreach and ethnic targeting. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, setting the stage for a dramatic legal showdown. Is history repeating itself? Is this a new era of immigration enforcement?

Trump’s Explosive Attack on the EU. In a scathing attack on the European Union, former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that the EU was created to take advantage of the United States. Speaking at his first cabinet meeting since returning to the White House, Trump announced new tariffs, confirming a 25% tax on key European imports, including cars. The U.S.-EU trade deficit reached $235.6 billion last year, fueling Trump's push for aggressive trade measures. The European Union rejected his accusations, calling itself "the world's largest free market" and warning of immediate retaliation if tariffs are imposed.

During a tense exchange at the White House, former President Donald Trump lashed out at reporters who questioned job cuts linked to DOGE (Dogecoin-related companies). Frustrated by repeated inquiries, Trump threatened to remove journalists from the room, declaring, "We'll throw them out!"
The confrontation comes amid growing concerns over massive job losses in sectors tied to cryptocurrency and tech investments. With Elon Musk’s influence on DOGE, speculation is rising about the real impact of digital assets on employment.
