Trump orders Pentagon to start testing nuclear weapons 'on an equal basis' with other countries The U.S. voluntarily halted nuclear explosive testing in 1992, though it has the ability to restart tests at a site in Nevada.

“This directly contradicts...Administration officials who certify our nuclear stockpile — who’ve told me explosive nuclear testing would not happen & is unnecessary. I’ll fight to stop this,” Jacky @rosen.senate.gov wrote on X.

Modi was ready to 'make India great again,' then Trump put America first U.S. ties with India, a key security partner in Asia, are being tested by trade, tariffs and New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil.

"U.S.-India tensions are mounting domestic political pressure on Modi, with opponents accusing him of failing to stand up to his "dear friend" Trump.

"The country is now bearing the cost of Narendra Modi's 'friendship," the opposition Congress party said..."

Immigrants in overcapacity ICE detention say they're hungry, raise food quality concerns As the Trump administration ramps up immigration arrests, recent detainees and advocacy groups are raising concerns about food in ICE facilities nationwide.

"there are now fewer avenues for detainees to submit concerns while they are in ICE custody, advocates say, pointing to recent job cuts to an independent watchdog within the Department of Homeland Security, ICE’s parent agency."
