Dem says Trump’s immigration ban stems from dislike of ‘brown people’

The latest remarks from a Democratic Senator show how far apart America's major political parties are on the issue of immigration. In a Sunday interview with NBC's Meet The Press host Kristen Welker, Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly accused the Trump administration of implementing a 'permanent pause [on] migration from all third-world countries' because he doesn't like 'brown people.' 'When I heard [Secretary Noem] say that they're going to pause immigration from third-world countries, I mean, I take that as a message that they don't want brown people coming to the United States,' Kelly told Welker.

President Donald Trump has banned South Africa from attending next year's G20 summit for what he characterizes as human rights abuses leading to the slaughter of 'white people.'

'Therefore, at my direction, South Africa will NOT be receiving an invitation to the 2026 G20, which will be hosted in the Great City of Miami, Florida next year,' he continued.

Democrats propose alternatives for Trump’s ballroom

Democrats are licking their lips at the idea of tearing down or repurposing President Donald Trump 's gilded ballroom. NBC News interviewed several potential 2028 Democratic hopefuls, as well as other party members, who all view the ballroom as a potent political issue. Last month, Trump tore down the White House's East Wing, which historically housed the offices of the First Lady, with little oversight or warning, making way for construction to begin on the ballroom so the $300 million project could be completed before the end of his term.

Trump gives Thanksgiving turkeys nicknames

Donald Trump has pardoned two Thanksgiving turkeys, Gobble and Waddle, in the decades-old tradition. The president joked that he wanted to call them 'Chuck and Nancy' after Senate Minority Leader Schumer and former House Speaker Pelosi, but said he couldn't because he'd never pardon either of his Democratic foes.

Report: Leaked Moscow call triggers Republican fears

Vladimir Putin picked up the phone, called Donald Trump , and swiftly killed America's plan to send game-changing missiles to Ukraine. That bombshell account, Putin's premiere foreign policy aide told the Wall Street Journal, is the latest revelation of Trump's whiplash approach to ending the nearly four-year old war. Tomahawk missiles would have given Ukraine something it still largely lacks: the ability to strike deep into Russia’s military infrastructure, beyond the front lines.
