The Trump administration has fired over 100 National Security Council (NSC) staffers in a surprise Memorial Day shake-up, reportedly aimed at dismantling what insiders call the “Deep State.” Employees received just 30 minutes to vacate offices, affecting major directorates including Ukraine and Indo-Pacific.
Acting NSAMarco Rubio is spearheading the effort to streamline policy control, slashing NSC staff from over 300 to just 50.
Officials say the move reduces bureaucracy and restores NSC’s original purpose.
This is among the most sweeping reorganizations of Trump’s second term so far.

At least 12 people were injured in a mass shooting in Little River, South Carolina, on Memorial Day weekend. Horry County Police responded to reports of gunfire Sunday night. Eleven victims were taken to local hospitals, with more arriving in private vehicles. The shooting may be linked to Black Bike Week, which also saw a stampede at a concert earlier that injured 19. No suspects or motives have been identified, and investigations into both incidents are ongoing as the community reels from the violence.

Disney's live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' movie is on track to make history at the box office this weekend. According to the latest report from the National Research Group, the film is tracking to make $165 million over the long weekend - a jaw-dropping gross that would see 'Lilo & Stitch' dethrone Tom Cruise's film 'Top Gun: Maverick' as the biggest Memorial Day opener of all time, not adjusted for inflation. That movie opened to $160 million in 2022. Ironically, Cruise also hits the big screen this weekend with 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.'

A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House. When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, “I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?” This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication. The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine. Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield. The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself. Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination.
In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid. Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland. This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine.

Rubio’s Funny Banter About Jaishankar at QUAD Meet Goes Viral | Jaishankar Scolds US Over Terrorism
At the QUAD Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Washington D.C., U.S. Secretary Marco Rubio jokingly called Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar a “very busy guy,” noting his constant travel. Jaishankar, alongside diplomats from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., took a firm stance on global terrorism—referencing the recent Pahalgam attack. He warned against equating victims and perpetrators, subtly addressing U.S. policy on Pakistan. The QUAD emphasized Indo-Pacific security, while Jaishankar also met with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to deepen bilateral defense ties, calling the partnership one of the “most consequential” today.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia.

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine.
Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance.

Donald Trump's firm stance on Washington's NFL team name is receiving high praise from one prestigious Native American organization, which told TMZ Sports this.. TMZ.com
In a scathing joint statement, 100 prominent Muslim scholars from over 25 countries declared Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as “enemies waging war against God.” The scholars accused the two leaders of bloodshed, corruption, and crimes against humanity, condemning U.S.-Israeli policies on Palestine. The declaration brands Israel a “cancerous entity” and forbids normalization. Citing attacks on Muslim groups and the Jerusalem embassy move, the statement calls for global Muslim unity and unwavering resistance until Palestine is fully liberated.

As Trump pledges 10 Patriot missiles to Kyiv, the EU is preparing a massive €100 billion support plan for Ukraine, potentially the largest in the war. Framed as the final phase against Putin’s forces, the package—slated to begin in 2028—would blend grants and soft loans tied to reforms. Proposed under the EU’s next seven-year budget, it signals long-term Western backing. Moscow decries the move as NATO-driven escalation, warning it exposes the EU’s dependency on U.S. strategy.
