Former U.S. President Barack Obama has praised Harvard University for rejecting the Trump administration’s controversial demands to reshape campus policies and student freedoms. As federal funding worth $2.2 billion is frozen, the standoff is intensifying debates over academic independence, civil rights, and political overreach. With elite campuses under fire, is this the beginning of a wider battle for university autonomy?

In a bold move, the White House replaced Barack Obama’s portrait in the Grand Foyer with a dramatic new painting of Donald Trump. The artwork depicts Trump bloodied but defiant, moments after surviving an assassination attempt in 2024. Created by Marc Lipp and donated by school safety advocate Andrew Pollack, the image captures Trump’s resilience and has been placed in a traditionally prestigious space. While critics noted the protocol shift, the Obama portrait remains on display elsewhere, ensuring no break in tradition while spotlighting Trump’s symbolic comeback.

Former President Donald Trump rolled back an Obama-Biden era rule limiting showerheads to 2.5 gallons per minute, calling the regulation “ridiculous.” During his White House tenure, Trump joked about the low water pressure affecting his ability to shower and wash his “beautiful hair.” The move was part of his sweeping deregulation campaign and extended to toilets, dishwashers, and more. Supporters see it as a win for personal freedom, while critics warn it could waste water and raise energy bills. Biden later reinstated the original rule after taking office.

Bowen Yang is on Aimee Lou Wood's side following her criticism of a 'White Lotus' parody on the latest 'Saturday Night Live' episode. Last week, 'SNL' spoofed the season three finale of Mike White's hit show but with a Donald Trump twist. The sketch swapped characters from the show with the president, his family and members of his cabinet. However, Wood's 'White Lotus' character Chelsea, portrayed by Sarah Sherman, wasn't switched, and saw Sherman wear a pair of fake teeth in the sketch.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported immigrant alleged to have MS-13 ties, was moved from El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison CECOT before Senator Chris Van Hollen arrived to advocate for his release. While Trump defends the deportation, citing national security, Democrats claim Garcia was wrongfully deported and stripped of his rights. A federal judge found no terrorism links, prompting a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return. As the debate intensifies, Garcia’s case has become a political flashpoint between immigration policy, human rights, and national security narratives.

A new YouGov poll reveals growing public skepticism toward President Trump's China tariff policy. Only 16% of Americans believe the U.S. will benefit from his strategy, while 46% think neither country will gain long-term. The poll shows deep partisan divides, with 61% of Democrats saying no one benefits, and only 29% of Republicans believing tariffs help only the U.S. Meanwhile, nearly half of all Americans see trade with China as “very important” for the U.S. economy. As Trump doubles down, public doubt continues to grow.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu admitted she does not know how much the city has spent on illegal immigrants, drawing sharp criticism from Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) during a House Oversight hearing. New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed his city spent $6.9 billion, while Denver’s mayor reported $79 million since 2022. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson estimated 1% of his budget—around $166 million—was allocated but did not provide an exact figure. Donalds blasted Wu, questioning her leadership for not knowing the financial impact of the migrant crisis.

The White House has issued a clarification on the controversial 245% tariff against China, detailing which goods will face the highest import taxes. This unprecedented wave of tariffs—ranging from 145% to 245%—includes legacy measures from Trump’s first term, as well as Biden-era expansions and new 2025 levies. Chinese goods like needles, syringes, lithium batteries, and sweaters are among the hardest hit. China responded firmly, warning the U.S. against threats and calling for mutual benefit in trade talks. The new tariffs mark a critical escalation in the ongoing trade war.

The White House has issued a clarification on the explosive 245% tariff targeting Chinese imports. The new addendum reveals a two-tier structure—some goods will face the full 245%, while others remain at 145% for now.

China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian condemned U.S. pressure, warning of firm retaliation. From lithium batteries to squid and syringes, the fallout is just beginning. China says it’s open to talks—but not to blackmail.

The U.S. has approved a major arms shipment to Israel, including 3,000 bombs, signaling preparation not just for Gaza, but possibly a strike on Iran. Israeli officials confirmed that these munitions will enhance Air Force readiness for large-scale operations. While the Gaza offensive takes global attention, analysts warn the real showdown may be brewing with Tehran. This deal, once frozen under Biden, was fast-tracked by Trump. Experts say the munitions can also target hardened Iranian facilities—raising fresh concerns about regional escalation and U.S. involvement in Israel-Iran tensions.
