President Donald Trump was mercilessly mocked during the 'No Kings' protest on Saturday. A protester took a brutal dig at the president's cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, holding a sign that read: 'You su**ed in Home Alone 2'. Trump made a seven-minute cameo in the film alongside a 12-year-old Macaulay Culkin, who was playing Kevin McCallister.
The sign went viral during one of the thousands of 'No Kings' protests that took place across the country. Organizers said over five million people took part in the protests. The demonstrations took place on Trump's birthday and the US Flag Day. The president hosted the largest US military parade in decades on his 79th birthday.

However, his celebrations were marred by hundreds of thousands of 'No Kings' protestors in the streets of metros including New York, Philadelphia, Houston, and Atlanta. Trump, speaking at an event, warned US' adversaries of "total and complete" defeat, with Washington increasingly at risk of entanglement in Israel's conflict with Iran.
"Time and again, America's enemies have learned that if you threaten the American people, our soldiers are coming for you," Trump said.
Several celebrities also took part in the protests, including prominent Trump critics - Mark Ruffalo, Susan Sarandon, Lin‑Manuel Miranda, Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington, Amy Schumer, Padma Lakshmi, and Alec Baldwin. In Washington, DC, President Trump's parade featured roughly 6,600 troops, 128–150 tanks and armored vehicles, 50 aircraft, and fireworks.

Meanwhile, a Democratic lawmaker and her husband were killed in Minnesota on Saturday. Trump was quick to condemn the attacks outside Minneapolis in which former state speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, while another state lawmaker and his wife were hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
The suspect, identified as Vance Boelter, is still at large.

Obama speaks out on how US can be a 'nation of immigrants and a nation of laws'
Former US President Barack Obama reflected on the 13th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ( DACA ) program, highlighting both its achievements and the urgent need to protect young immigrants. He posted on X, 'Thirteen years ago, my administration acted to protect young people who were American in every single way but one: on paper.' Launched in June 2012, DACA was a major executive decision aimed at allowing undocumented individuals brought to the United States as children—known as 'Dreamers'—to live, study, and work without fear of deportation. The program underscored the idea that the US can be both 'a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws,' as Obama reiterated in his post. In his message, Obama emphasised the human cost of political rhetoric targeting immigrant families. He stressed that while Dreamers simply want to 'live, work, and support their communities,' many face demonization and hostility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 19 Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) Side Effects You Should Know About - GoodRx GoodRx Learn More Undo — BarackObama (@BarackObama) (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) He also called for fixing the US immigration system, urging lawmakers to balance legal enforcement with humane treatment: 'We can fix our broken immigration system while still recognizing our common humanity and treating each other with dignity and respect.

Israel-Iran tensions: Tehran's latest attack kills at least 8 in Israel; India to evacuate citizens from Iran
Israel and Iran traded air strikes for a third consecutive day after Tel Aviv launched a massive surprise attack on Tehran that killed its top military officials, senior scientists and more than 60 civilians, including 20 children on June 13. 1. Death toll crosses 220 in Iran: Israel's renewed attacks on Iran on Saturday struck the country's oil reserves and hit population centres in Tehran, raising the death toll to 224, including 70 women and children. Among the killed were the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)'s intelligence organisation, Mohammad Kazemi, and two other generals. 2. 14 killed in Israel: Iran has retaliated with missile attacks, hitting the center of Tel Aviv and causing havoc in residential suburbs, killing 14 people and wounding 390 others. 3. Iran-US nuclear talks cancelled: The surprise attacks came days before scheduled talks between U.S. and Iran on the future of Tehran's nuclear program, which has been cancelled in the wake of Israeli strikes. Israel, the sole but undeclared nuclear-armed state in the Middle East, has said its attacks were pre-emtive to stop Iran from developing a nuclear program. 4. US officials say Trump foiled Israel's plan to assassinate Khamenei: In an indication of how far Israel was seemingly prepared to go in its recent conflict with Iran, a U.S. official told The Associated Press that President Donald Trump nixed Tel Aviv's plan to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who serves as commander-in-chief of the armed forces and controls the powerful Revolutionary Guard. 5. Trump calls for a deal between Iran, Israel: US President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Iran and Israel to "make a deal," and stressed he would be able to mediate talks between the warring sides. The statement came hours after in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, he sought to distance US from Israel's attacks on Iran.

Foreigner Rates Indian Paan 7/10, Gets Schooled By Desis: 'You Don't Bite It'
Last Updated: A model tried the popular Indian mouth freshener, Paan, for the first time and was instantly surprised by its strong flavour and large size. People from Western countries often find Indian food fascinating and flavorful, and their first-time reactions often go viral online. Recently, American model Rachel Pizzolato tried a popular Indian mouth freshener, paan, for the first time, and shared her experience in a now-viral video. Rachel was visibly surprised by the strong flavour and large size of the paan. 'It tastes like a cherry drink," she remarked, as those around her nodded in agreement. However, she admitted she couldn't finish the whole thing on her own. 'I'm not eating the whole thing, can't do it," she said, rating it a 7 out of 10. Reacting to the post, a user wrote, 'It's our mouth freshener and also very good for digestion." Another shared, 'Mistake most people trying pan first time do like this lady is taking a small bite. It has to be eaten as a whole. Different parts of it have different flavours." 'You are not alone. I am Indian, and I still can't eat Paan. Not for me," a comment read. An individual stated, 'You don't bite it. You have to put the whole of the paan in one go in your mouth and chew it. Then only you will get the full flavour." One more added, '7 out of 10, huh, it's because it was in foil, which I'm guessing pre-made. You need to have the real deal made fresh in front of you, and with all the mixing, then you'll understand." Paan is a traditional Indian snack made with betel leaves, typically served after meals for its refreshing and digestive qualities. The leaf is filled with a variety of ingredients such as candied fruits, raisins, cardamom, saffron, roasted coconut, and sometimes even a delicate layer of edible silver. Once folded into a neat parcel, it's chewed slowly to release a burst of sweet, aromatic flavours. While paan can vary by region, it remains a beloved treat across India for its rich taste and cultural significance.
