Ukraine's drone revolution is turning the tide of war. Along a 20 km “kill zone” near the frontline, kamikaze, surveillance, and bomber UAVs swarm the skies, making Russia's traditional advantages of tanks, artillery, and manpower nearly obsolete.
Ukrainian commanders say drones now account for over 70% of successful strikes on Russian forces. Meanwhile, Russia adapts with new tactics—sending small groups on quad bikes to bait fire and launch counter-drone strikes. With European support rising and U.S. aid shifting under Trump’s NATO-based weapons plan, Ukraine banks on domestically produced long-range drones to hold ground and retaliate deep into Russia. The battlefield is no longer just about artillery—it's a race of innovation and aerial dominance

Trump has sharply criticized his own MAGA supporters, calling them “stupid people” and “gullible weaklings” amid growing controversy over the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Department of Justice and FBI recently released a report denying the existence of a high-profile client list linked to Epstein, a convicted Sex offender found dead in jail in 2019. However, many Republicans remain skeptical, suspecting a cover-up to protect powerful figures, especially given conflicting statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who claimed to possess Epstein’s client list. Trump has distanced himself from GOP members who accept the DOJ’s version, labeling them weaklings, while dismissing the controversy as a “hoax” fabricated by Democrats

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk.
The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trump’s rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation.
Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass Trump’s controversial "One Big, Beautiful Bill" after a night of intense Republican negotiations. The bill, which faced opposition over Medicaid and food stamp cuts, nearly failed due to concerns from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Trump, in Florida visiting the Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center, received the news mid-trip. Vance declared it a “big win,” while critics, including Elon Musk and Democrats, called it disastrous. Musk has even threatened to form a new party in protest.

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans.

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point.

Sen. Bernie Sanders strongly opposes President Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill,” calling it the most dangerous legislation in modern U.S. history. Sanders claims the bill is a billionaire-funded payoff that gives $975 billion in tax breaks to the top 1%, while slashing $1.1 trillion from healthcare programs like Medicaid and ACA—potentially leaving 16 million uninsured. With studies predicting 50,000 avoidable deaths per year, Sanders calls the bill a "death sentence" for working-class Americans and a devastating blow to rural hospitals already on the brink.
