Trump lashes out at Rosie O'Donnell, threatens to take away US citizenship
'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,' Trump wrote in a Saturday morning Truth Social post.
'She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!' he added.
O'Donnell, a longtime critic of the president, relocated to Ireland over her distaste with the president and his administration.
The comedian, in response to Trump's Saturday post, called the president a 'criminal,' 'con man,' and 'sexual abusing liar.'
'I stand in direct opposition [of] all he represents,' she wrote on Instagram. 'So do millions of others.'
Since Trump returned to the White House earlier this year, the administration has sought to revoke green cards from foreign-born students activists who have criticized the country's foreign policy decisions, particularly those concerning the Israel-Hamas war. The administration maintains it is following the law and that these individuals are threats to the the country.
In March, O'Donnell uploaded a post on TikTok with her daughter, telling followers, 'When, you know, it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.'
'It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well. The personal is political, as we all know,' O'Donnell added.
She later said she was 'sleeping better' after the move to a community that was 'welcoming' and 'loving,' signaling that an end to her feud with Trump wasn't near in sight.
O'Donnell first came to blows with the president in 2006 when she called Trump a 'snake-oil salesman' for allowing former Miss USA Tara Conner to keep her title amid drug-use allegations.From there, the pair's hope for a clear-sailing relationship has veered off course.
'Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out,' Trump said in a decades-old interview on 'Entertainment Tonight.'
'She's basically a disaster,' he concluded.

Pentagon recalls 2K National Guard troops from Los Angeles

Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo July 16 (UPI) -- The Trump administration has recalled 2,000 National Guard troops from Los Angeles, where they were deployed by President Donald Trump last month to quell anti-raid protests and to protect immigration law enforcement arresting migrants. "Thanks to our troops who stepped up to answer the call, the lawlessness in Los Angeles is subsiding," chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement, The Hill and ABC News reported. "As such, the secretary has ordered the release of 2,000 California National Guardsmen (79th IBCT) from the federal protection." Trump, who campaigned on mass deportations while using derogatory rhetoric and misinformation, has been conducting a crackdown on immigration since returning to the White House. On June 6, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents began conducting raids in Los Angeles, sparking protests in the city. In response, Trump deployed some 2,000 California National Guardsmen, later increasing the number to more than 4,000, as well as hundreds of U.S. Marines, attracting the anger of local politicians. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and a Trump critic, filed a lawsuit accusing the president of violating the Constitution by taking over the California National Guard, "which has needlessly escalated chaos and violence in the Los Angeles region," his office said in a statement. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, celebrated the Pentagon move on Tuesday as being a result of the city's protest against the deployment. "This happened because the people of Los Angeles stood united and stood strong. We organized peaceful protests, we came together at rallies, we took the Trump administration to court -- all of this led to today's retreat," she said in a statement. "My message today to Angelenos is clear -- I will never stop fighting for this city. We will not stop making our voices heard until this ends, not just here in LA, but throughout our country."

Russia may hope to use Trump's 50-day window to wear down Ukraine, but quick gains seem unlikely
President Donald Trump's ultimatum to Russia to accept a peace deal in Ukraine within 50 days or face bruising sanctions on its energy exports has given the Kremlin extra time to pursue its summer offensive. The dogged Ukrainian resistance , however, makes it unlikely that the Russian military will make any quick gains.

Vance heads to Pennsylvania to launch the White House's first major push to sell Trump's big bill
Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday will head to the swing political turf of northeastern Pennsylvania to begin selling President Donald Trump's sweeping budget-and-policy package in a working-class district that could see a ferocious congressional campaign next year. Vance, whose tiebreaking vote got the bill through the Senate, has promoted the bill's passage as another example of the Trump administration's mantra of 'promises made, promises kept' and a measure that will cut taxes, increase take-home pay for American families and strengthen border security. The historic legislation, which Trump signed into law earlier this month with near unanimous Republican support, includes key campaign pledges like no tax on tips but also cuts Medicaid and food stamps by $1.2 trillion. Democrats have vowed to make the law a major issue in the midterm elections and recently held a town hall in House Speaker Mike Johnson's home state of Louisiana to denounce the legislation as a 'reverse Robin Hood — stealing from the poor to give to the rich.' The battle for control of the messaging on the bill could be critical to how well the measure is ultimately received, as some of the most divisive parts of the law, including Medicaid and food assistance cuts, are timed to take effect only after the midterm elections. The bill was generally unpopular before its passage, polls showed, although some individual provisions are popular, like boosting the annual child tax credit and eliminating taxes on tips. The trip by Vance to West Pittston marks the first big push from the White House to promote the new law. It's unclear how much Trump plans to do the same. Trump told NBC News last week that he would travel 'a little bit' to help champion the measure he dubbed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill.' 'But honestly,' he said, 'It's been received so well I don't think I have to.' Vance's office declined to provide details on his trip to West Pittston or elaborate on plans for other public events around the U.S. to promote the bill. West Pittston, which sits in Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan's district in northeastern Pennsylvania, is a place where Trump's populist brand of politics has found a foothold. Trump's popularity with the white working class has accelerated the political shift in nearby areas, including around Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, turning reliably Democratic areas into contested turf and contributing to Trump's 2024 win in Pennsylvania. There, and in a swing district around Allentown just to the south, Republicans last year knocked off two Democratic U.S. House incumbents after years of trying. Debate over the budget-and-policy package is expected to shape the 2026 midterm battle for control of the House, which Democrats see as their best opportunity to block Trump's agenda in his final two years in the Oval Office. Democrats need a net gain of three House seats to break Republican control of Washington. As Republicans see it, they've now delivered broad tax cuts, funding to further boost border security and restraints on costly social safety net programs. Democrats see a law that rolls back health insurance access, threatens the solvency of rural hospitals and raises costs for middle-class Americans while cutting taxes mostly for the rich and slashing green energy subsidies . Bresnahan's seat is a top Democratic target. While Bresnahan hasn't drawn a challenger in the 2026 election, Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro has aggressively gone after the state's Republican members of Congress who voted for the bill, including Bresnahan. 'Shame on these members of Congress who spent the last few months saying, 'Oh, I'll never cut Medicaid,'' Shapiro said during an appearance earlier this month on WILK-FM radio in Wilkes-Barre. 'I mean, Rep. Bresnahan told you, your listeners, your newspapers, told me to my face, this was a red line in the sand for him, he wouldn't harm people on Medicaid, he wouldn't harm our rural hospitals. … He caved and voted for this bill.' Bresnahan has defended his vote by saying it strengthens Medicaid by cracking down on fraud, waste and abuse and requiring those who can work to do so. He also said it ensures hospitals in northeastern Pennsylvania will qualify for the funding they need to stay open. ___ Associated Press writer Michelle L.
