U.S. Political News Today: Trump’s Chaos, Mamdani’s Win & SCOTUS Drama

If you searched for “latest U.S. political news today,” you’ve found the only roundup brave enough to pair satire with a panic attack. Let’s recap June 26, 2025 — the day democracy said: “Let’s make it weird.”

1. Trump’s Iran Strikes & the Case of the Missing Briefing

Today’s top headline: Trump authorized airstrikes on Iran. Fox News called it a win for freedom. CNN asked for proof. Trump screamed about loyalty. Meanwhile, Congress is mad they were left out of the “drop bombs, ask questions later” strategy session.

“This wasn’t just a precision strike. It was a precision PR stunt with fireworks.”

2. Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” Gets Smacked Down

Trump’s sweeping tax and border reform bill launched with all the subtlety of a monster truck rally. But then the Senate parliamentarian stripped out major Medicaid cuts — leaving the bill gutted like a piñata at a policy birthday party.

“Even Republicans looked at this thing like it came with expired warranty stickers.”

3. Supreme Court Says “Bye Felicia” to Planned Parenthood

In a major 6–3 decision, SCOTUS ruled that states can exclude Planned Parenthood from Medicaid funding — which isn’t just a policy move, it’s a social earthquake. Liberals dissented so hard you could feel it in your group chat.

4. Zohran Mamdani Wins NYC & MAGA Melts Down

New York just voted in Zohran Mamdani — a Democratic socialist who triggered every Fox News anchor simultaneously. Trump called him “a woke virus” and warned that “this is how London fell.” Don’t ask what that means. No one knows.

5. Dollar Drops, Trump Blames Fed Chair Powell

The U.S. dollar is having its worst first half in decades. Trump responded by saying Fed Chair Jerome Powell is “very dumb” and floated replacing him with himself. Naturally.

6. Millions Protest Trump’s Birthday with “No Kings” Rallies

Over 5 million Americans protested what they see as Trump’s authoritarian power grab. The “No Kings” movement erupted nationwide — from San Francisco to small-town rallies where even the Dunkin’ Donuts closed early.

7. ICE Raids in LA Spark National Guard Deployment

ICE cracked down in Los Angeles, triggering protests, tear gas, and — of course — a National Guard deployment. Because nothing says “de-escalation” like military gear in your neighborhood.

Final Thought: America, Unfiltered

If you’re wondering how things could get weirder — stay tuned. Today brought you bombs, bans, bills, billionaires, and a Bronx progressive. By tomorrow, who knows? Trump might appoint himself “Fed Emperor” and Powell a janitor.
