Donald Trump Threatens To Revoke Rosie O'Donnell's Citizenship
The president posted on Truth Social, '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. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!'

The president cannot revoke the citizenship of someone born in the U.S., many legal scholars note. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says, 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.'
O'Donnell is a longtime Trump nemesis. She moved her family to Ireland earlier this year, saying in a TikTok video that 'when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.'
O'Donnell has continued to be critical of Trump on TikTok and other social media, posting earlier this week that Trump 'has put this country in danger' with his 'horrible decisions.' She said that the cuts to the National Weather Service to the deaths in the flash floods in Texas. 'These are the results that we are going to see on a daily basis,' she said.
Trump has sought to end the practice of 'birthright' citizenship via executive order. That has been challenged in the courts, and this past week a judge blocked Trump's effort.

Thai-Cambodia border clashes persist despite ceasefire hopes
Fresh artillery clashes erupted on Sunday near a long-contested region between Cambodia and Thailand that has been the scene of recent fighting in which at least 33 people have been killed. Both countries said they were ready to discuss a ceasefire after a late-night intervention by US President Donald Trump. Thailand and Cambodia clashed for a fourth day Sunday, despite both sides saying they were ready to discuss a ceasefire after a late-night intervention by US President Donald Trump. The neighbours, popular destinations for millions of foreign tourists, have been locked in their bloodiest conflict in years over the disputed border, with at least 33 people confirmed killed and more than 200,000 displaced. Both said they were willing to start talks to end the fighting, after Trump spoke to the two prime ministers late on Saturday and said they had agreed to meet and 'quickly work out' a ceasefire. Read moreTrump says Thailand and Cambodia agree to immediate ceasefire talks But fresh artillery clashes erupted on Sunday morning near two long-contested ancient temples in the frontier region between northern Cambodia and northeast Thailand that has seen the bulk of the fighting. Cambodian defence ministry spokeswoman Maly Socheata said Thai forces began attacking areas around the temples at 4:50 am. The regular thump of artillery rattled windows in the Cambodian town of Samraong, around 20 kilometres (12 miles) from the frontline, AFP journalists said. Thai Army Deputy Spokesman Ritcha Suksuwanon said Cambodian forces began firing artillery around 4:00 am as the two sides battled for control of strategic positions. Ceasefire calls Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet on Sunday said his country 'agreed with the proposal for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between the two armed forces'. He said his Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn will talk to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to coordinate with the Thais, but warned Bangkok against reneging on any agreement. After Trump's call, Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said he had agreed in principle to enter a ceasefire and start talks 'as soon as possible'. While both sides have expressed a desire for talks to end the crisis, neither has so far been willing to back down. On Sunday, they again each blamed the other for undermining peace efforts. The Thai foreign ministry also accused Cambodian forces of firing shells into civilian homes in Surin province. 'Any cessation of hostilities cannot be reached while Cambodia is severely lacking in good faith and repeatedly violating the basic principles of human rights and humanitarian law,' the foreign ministry said in a statement. From the Cambodian side, defence ministry spokeswoman Maly Socheata issued a statement denying that they fired first. The statement accused Thailand of 'deliberate and coordinated acts of aggression'. Read moreThailand and Cambodia clash: A border dispute fuelled by nationalism A long-running border dispute erupted into combat this week with jets, tanks and ground troops battling in the rural border region, marked by a ridge of hills surrounded by wild jungle and agricultural land where locals farm rubber and rice. Thailand says seven of its soldiers and 13 civilians have been killed, while Cambodia has confirmed eight civilian and five military deaths. The conflict has forced more than 138,000 people to be evacuated from Thailand's border regions, and 80,000 have been driven from their homes in Cambodia. After an urgent United Nations Security Council meeting Friday in New York, Cambodia's UN Ambassador Chhea Keo said his country wanted 'an immediate ceasefire' and a peaceful resolution of the dispute. UN chief Antonio Guterres urged both sides Saturday to 'immediately agree to a ceasefire' and hold talks to find a lasting solution. As well as blaming each other for starting the fight, Cambodia has also accused Thai forces of using cluster munitions, while Thailand accused Cambodia of targeting civilian infrastructure, including hospitals. The fighting marks a dramatic escalation in a long-running dispute between the neighbours over their shared 800-kilometre border where dozens of kilometres are contested. (FRANCE 24 with AFP)

Scots Do Not Hold Back While Showing Trump How They Really Feel About The President's Visit
Donald Trump has, in his usual fashion, caused an enormous stir after touching down in Scotland on Friday. The US president managed to play golf at his course on the Scottish coast on Saturday without being disturbed, but protests at his presence were erupting across the country. Trump and his son Eric played on Turnberry, the family course they've had for a decade, with US ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens. Meanwhile, more than 100 miles away, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the US Consulate in Edinburgh, making it plain that Trump was not at all welcome. Many also lashed out at UK prime minister Keir Starmer for striking up a new trade deal with Trump in a bid to avoid US tariffs on foreign imports. Trump is set to meet with Starmer, Scotland's first minister John Swinney and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen during his five-day trip, while also making time to visit his second golf club in the region. Demonstrators rallied together ahead of his visit, with Pro-Palestine campaigners, environmental activists and pro-Ukraine groups uniting to create a loose group called the 'Stop Trump Coalition'. During Saturday's protests, some people brought bagpipes, while others wore outfits from the dystopian world of The Handmaid's Tale. One protester told broadcasters: 'We should not be opening Scotland or the UK to somebody with Trump's background. 'Trump is an abhorrent human being with no saving graces.'

Can Mamdani's Message Play Outside New York? It Already Has.
In the glow of Zohran Mamdani's convincing win in the Democratic mayoral primary in New York City, a common narrative has emerged to explain his ascendence. He was a master of social media; he was charming, attractive and well spoken; he and his team simply outworked everyone. But the emphasis on Mr. Mamdani's style overlooks the substance of his progressive message and how the city's voters came to embrace it, much as voters did in Boston in 2021 and in Chicago two years later. Those elections, along with recent polling on issues like rent control, wealth taxes and the burden of child care, suggest that many voters, particularly those in large Democratic-leaning cities, have become more receptive to progressive agendas. Mr. Mamdani, a state assemblyman and democratic socialist, adhered to a simple message in his primary campaign. New York, he said, was in the throes of an affordability crisis, and he had three main proposals to help: make city buses free, expand free child care and freeze the rent for stabilized apartments. The financial burden of paying for these policies, he suggested, would largely fall on wealthy taxpayers and businesses — a stance that has put Mr. Mamdani at odds with many mainstream Democrats, including Gov. Kathy Hochul. But the size of his victory has forced some in his party to grapple with his ascension and whether to adopt some of his messaging in next year's critical midterm elections. 'People are hungry for government to work and to get things done that matter and that will make a difference in their lives,' said Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston, who in 2021 became the city's youngest mayor in a century by pushing a similar slate of proposals.
