'A matter between two friends': Congress mocks Modi govt as Washington Post debunks USAID funding claim
Saturday, 22 February 2025 The Washington Post's report has disproven Donald Trump's claim that USAID allocated $21 million to India to boost voter turnout. Instead, the funding was for Bangladesh, adding to the political tensions between BJP and Congress. Congress used this report to criticize BJP and its supporters.

United States reaffirmed its unwavering support for India’s fight against terrorism during a crucial visit by a multi-party Indian parliamentary delegation, led by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. In Washington, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau emphasized the India-U.S. strategic partnership, especially in the aftermath of India’s Operation Sindoor. State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce acknowledged bilateral talks with both Indian and Pakistani delegations, reiterating support for peace and counterterrorism. Trump’s hint at Kashmir mediation was also addressed—though India strongly rejected any third-party involvement in its internal matters.

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trump’s Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGE’s early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash.

Elon Musk's departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) marks a significant shift in the Trump administration's cost-cutting agenda. Musk, who served as a special government employee, stepped down after reaching the 130-day service limit. His exit follows criticism of the administration's "One Big Beautiful Bill," which Musk argued would increase the federal deficit, countering DOGE's objectives.
During his tenure, Musk aimed to reduce federal spending by $2 trillion but managed to cut approximately $150 billion. His efforts included auditing government credit cards, canceling leases on underutilized federal buildings, and restructuring agencies like USAID and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

President Trump’s highly anticipated 250th Army anniversary parade in Washington D.C. was meant to be a patriotic spectacle—but it fell flat. Despite tanks, military flyovers, and millions spent, the streets were shockingly under-attended. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of anti-Trump protesters flooded cities across the U.S., chanting “No Kings” and calling for his ouster. The contrast was jarring: as Trump delivered a brief 8-minute speech calling the U.S. “the hottest country,” political violence rocked Minnesota and national tensions surged. Is this a celebration—or a country in crisis?

In a bold Truth Social post, Donald Trump warned Iran not to target U.S. military bases following Israeli strikes on Iranian defense HQs and oil facilities. While denying U.S. involvement in the overnight attacks, Trump issued a stark threat of overwhelming military force if Iran retaliates. Simultaneously, he claimed he could “easily” broker peace between Israel and Iran. As exchanges intensify—marked by Iran’s use of the Fattah-1 hypersonic missile—fears of a wider war escalate across the region.

In a dramatic escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict, Israel is now demanding that the United States join its military campaign by launching direct strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure — specifically the heavily fortified Fordo uranium enrichment site. Axios reports confirm that Israel has formally requested U.S. military support, but the Trump White House is holding back… for now.
