Chelsea Handler fiercely roasted Tony Hinchcliffe at Netflix's 'The Roast of Kevin Hart,' targeting his politics and past controversies. Handler's sharp jabs included remarks about his appearance and perceived political leanings, drawing a heated response from Hinchcliffe later in the show. The special also featured a surprise appearance by Tom Brady.

But Vivek’s rise, if things go according to plan he might become the third Indian-origin governor of an American state after Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley, is not just a litmus test of an Indian-American’s success story in US politics. It is a test of how far the MAGA tent will accommodate a brown non-Christian man and also how far an Indian-American can go in Trump’s America.

As Indian-Americans excel and India’s economy expands, perceptions are being rewritten. Not everyone in the US is comfortable with that new reality.

The Trump White House has opened a new front against the Vatican, with Pope Leo responding to criticism of his theological stances and implicit critiques of U.S. foreign policy. The exchange escalated amid viral imagery of President Trump as a savior figure, prompting the Pope to emphasize peace and responsible governance, while U.S. Vice President J.D.

A US delegation heads to Pakistan for crucial talks with Iran, despite President Trump's escalating threats to cripple Iran's infrastructure if a deal isn't reached. Tehran remains hesitant, demanding the lifting of sanctions and unblocking of assets. Trump's aggressive rhetoric, aimed at forcing negotiations, faces domestic criticism for its potential to escalate conflict.

Donald Trump's recent AI-generated images, including one mistaken for Jesus, sparked controversy. He clashed with Pope Leo over foreign policy and war, while also promoting diet soda for cancer prevention. Amidst concerns about his fitness for office and promises of mass pardons, Trump's actions continue to draw global attention.

Donald Trump's shifting deadlines and threats towards Iran, including expletive-laden social media posts, led to global "TACO" memes. Despite escalating rhetoric and a threatened military response, Trump ultimately announced a ceasefire, citing met military objectives and progress on a peace agreement.

Across the US, from small towns to big cities, protesters turned out in millions over war, prices and immigration crackdowns. Does this moment signal a real shift?

The MAGA movement, once united under Donald Trump’s fiery “America First” banner, is now locked in an internal battle that has exposed deep divisions over immigration, identity, and the future of the GOP. At the heart of this civil war is Trump’s recent endorsement of H-1B visas, a program he called “great” for attracting global talent—a move that sparked outrage among his nativist supporters while winning approval from Silicon Valley’s elite. As MAGA provocateur Laura Loomer targeted Indian-American tech advisor Sriram Krishnan, the backlash from figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy underscored the growing divide.

Donald Trump faces heat over Jeffrey Epstein links. He accuses Barack Obama of treason to deflect attention. However, this tactic seems less effective now. MAGA supporters demand more disclosures. The Epstein scandal divides Trump's base. Some Republicans use the issue against Trump. His grip on MAGA weakens. The old playbook may not work this time.

A maga civil war has emerged, pitting Indian-Americans against far-right Groypers over immigration, diversity, and identity. Once marginal in politics, Indian Americans have gained prominence, with Trump courting their support through events like “Howdy Modi” and Diwali diplomacy. This contrasts with Groypers, a white nationalist collective, who oppose figures like tech entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan, appointed by Trump as AI Policy Advisor. The conflict exposes America’s immigration paradox: Groypers cling to exclusionary ideals, while Indian-Americans embody hard work and innovation. Beyond memes and rhetoric, the battle symbolizes a deeper struggle over America’s future and the MAGA movement’s identity.

Laura Loomer is against President Trump's choice for US Surgeon General. She questions Dr. Janette Nesheiwat's credentials and vaccine stance. Loomer cites concerns about Nesheiwat's medical background. She also points to past vaccine advocacy. This move has stirred conflict within the MAGA movement. Loomer has previously challenged other Trump advisors. The Senate Committee is still scheduled to hold a hearing.

Laura Loomer, MAGA’s resident chaos agent, kicked things off by targeting Krishnan on X (formerly Twitter). She accused him of being a “globalist tech bro” intent on displacing American workers and even claimed he had donated to Kamala Harris’s campaign.

While Trump backed Musk, one wonders how long this “bro-homie” is going to last. Both Musk and Trump are furiously combustible individuals who don’t take kindly to criticism. The uneasy friendship works for now, but how long will Trump be able to take the goads about Musk being the “real president”? How long will Musk endure stupidity from Trump’s base? For now, Musk and Trump are on the same page, Loomer is apologizing for doxxing Sriram Krishnan. Sacks summed up the truce by saying: “Time to move forward as one team.” However, it’s unlikely that we’ve heard the last of this particular internecine fight.

“The reason I’m in America, along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong, is because of H-1B,” Musk wrote. Then, with all the subtlety of a flamethrower (one he probably designed himself), “Take a big step back and F*** YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.” Of course, fans will notice it's a key line from Tropic Thunder (see post above).
