Meghan McCain slammed for calling Michelle Obama a 'negative' person: Be your dad's daughter
Conservative commentator Meghan McCain, the daughter of former senator John McCain, was criticized for trolling former first lady
Michelle Obama
after Michelle said living in the White House was costly. "It would be cool if Michelle Obama had literally anything positive to say about anything," McCain said, reacting to the viral clip of Michelle Obama's rant about the
living costs of the White House
.
Apart from her own podcast, Michelle Obama recently appeared on several other talk shows and podcasts and spoke freely about all the speculations that were going on about her. The shows appear after her long absence in the public that stoked rumors about her marital discord, an impending divorce and Barack Obama's alleged affair with actor Jennifer Aniston.
As Michelle Obama put those speculations to rest without hiding the problems her marriage with Barack has, she has recently opened up about the living costs of the White House.
'How do you raise kids in the White House? It's dangerous,' Michelle Obama said. 'As the first black potential president, we knew there would be death threats … how would we afford it? Because it's expensive to live in the White House, as many people don't know.'

'I mean, much is not covered,' she continued. 'You're paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat, you know, you're not paying for housing and the staff in it … but everything, even travel, if you're not traveling with the president, if you're kids are coming on a Bright Star, which is the first lady's plane, we had to pay for their travel to be on the plane.'
'It is an expensive proposition, and you're running for two years and not earning an income, so all of that was in my mind, um, how would we manage this."
As Meghan McCain called out Michelle, a social media user reminded her that her father use to consider the Obamas as a decent patriotic family.
"Meghan, Michelle Obama built her legacy on hope, dignity, and service, values your party's leaders have systematically ridiculed. If you only hear negativity when she speaks, it says more about your filters than her message. Leadership isn't performative cheerleading, it's grounded optimism with moral clarity. Try it sometime. Your dad happens to believe that the Obamas are a decent patriotic American family. Be your dad's daughter!" the person wrote.
Meghan McCain was one of the insiders who spoke about Michelle and Barack's divorce. Meghan earlier said reputable people confirmed the rumors.
"I really respect Michelle Obama - but if she wants everyone to stop speculating on her marriage she shouldn't spend every episode of her podcast telling women we need to expect marriage to be a torturous hellscape with few glimpses of happiness scattered about here and there," Meghan recently commented as Michelle spoke profusely about her marriage.

Trade unions, farm outfits demand parliamentary approval of trade treaties
A joint statement by ten Central Trade Unions (CTUs) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Monday (August 4, 2025) has demanded a parliamentary review of the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) signed recently with the United Kingdom. The organisations asked the Union government to reject United States President Donald Trump's 'tariff threats' and assert India's sovereign right to trade with all nations, including Russia. The statement said the India-U.K. CETA must be reviewed and altered immediately, with no ratification in Parliament. 'All negotiations for a U.S.-India trade deal must be halted to prevent further corporate exploitation. No more secret trade agreements — all future deals must undergo full parliamentary scrutiny and public consultation,' the joint statement added. The organisations said East India Company colonised India through trade and today, CETA and U.S. trade deals are the new instruments of corporate imperialism. 'On August 13, farmers and workers will rise in defence of sovereignty and freedom, sending a clear message: We will not let history repeat! Quit India, again,' the statement added. Economic coercion by U.S. Terming the U.S. import tariffs on India as a blatant act of economic coercion, the trade unions and farmers' outfits said the new duties are aimed at dictating India including its trade relations with Russia. 'These aggressive measures expose the hypocrisy of U.S. trade policies, which demand open markets for American corporations while weaponising tariffs to bully sovereign nations,' they said. Alleging that the Centre has surrendered to these threats, the SKM and CTUs said it was further evident in the recently signed CETA, which according to them is a deal that sacrifices the interests of India's farmers, workers, and economic independence at the altar of foreign corporate profits. Compromising India's strategic autonomy 'Instead of firmly rejecting this intimidation, the Central government has responded with silence, signalling its willingness to compromise India's strategic autonomy in favour of U.S.A. This capitulation paves the way for an even more exploitative India-U.S. trade deal, which would grant American agribusiness corporations like Cargill unrestricted access to India's dairy sector, agriculture, resulting in collapsing prices and destroying the farming community along with endangering food security of the nation. It would also trigger de-industrialisation in India and skyrocketing unemployment,' the statement said.

South Korean student detained by ICE after routine visa hearing in New York, sparking outcry: Reports
A 20-year-old South Korean student at Purdue University, Yeonsoo Go, has been detained by and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following a routine visa hearing in New York, sparking outcry from immigrant rights groups and religious leaders, as per multiple news reports. Go, the daughter of Rev. Kyrie Kim — the first woman ordained in the Seoul Diocese of the Anglican Church of Korea — was taken into ICE custody on July 31 after exiting the New York Immigration Court, where she had appeared for a scheduled visa hearing. The court had granted her a continuance until October, yet ICE agents detained her immediately outside the courthouse. The Episcopal Diocese of New York and several advocacy groups are demanding her immediate release, arguing that Go was legally residing in the US and that immigration authorities acted improperly. According to Go's family, she lawfully entered the US in March 2021 on an R-2 dependent visa, accompanying her mother who had relocated for religious work on an R-1 visa. Her legal stay was reportedly extended in 2023 and remains valid through the end of 2025. However, immigration officials appear to have interpreted her visa status differently, classifying her presence as unlawful. 'She has followed every legal procedure, appeared in court as required, and now finds herself behind bars — this is unacceptable,' said an Episcopal Diocese spokesperson. The case has drawn attention within the Korean-American community and immigrant advocacy circles. Supporters argue that ICE violated due process by detaining someone with a pending and active legal status. Go, a graduate of Scarsdale High School in Westchester County, is currently being held at the ICE detention facility in Manhattan.
