A major political storm is brewing in West Bengal as rumours of a possible revolt by as many as 22 TMC MLAs trigger panic within the Trinamool Congress. The crisis comes amid an explosive signature forgery controversy, a CID probe, and growing allegations of internal dissent. Rebel voices within the party have reportedly questioned key leadership decisions, while Mamata Banerjee has accused the BJP of trying to engineer a split in the TMC. With two MLAs already expelled and Abhishek Banerjee facing fresh scrutiny, questions are mounting over the future unity of the ruling party.

Donald Trump has pushed for a dramatic change to one of America’s oldest financial traditions, the US dollar. For the first time in history, a sitting US president’s name is set to appear on official American currency, replacing a long-standing practice that dates back to 1861. The White House has backed the decision, with Treasury officials, including Scott Bessent, defending it as a symbolic step ahead of the United States’ 250th anniversary. Supporters within the MAGA camp are calling it a bold assertion of leadership and national identity, a mark of economic strength and political dominance. But critics aren’t holding back. Across social media and political circles, the move is being labelled as unprecedented, with accusations of self-promotion and concerns over breaking institutional norms. WATCH
