A political firestorm is ripping through Minnesota as federal scrutiny tightens over alleged childcare and nutrition-fund fraud. Trump’s team has frozen Minnesota’s childcare payments, citing what they call a massive and long-ignored pattern of misuse. The controversy accelerated after commentator Nick Shirley released videos showing allegedly empty, subsidized Somali-run childcare centers, clips that triggered a fresh wave of national debate and intensified public pressure on the Biden administration. In response, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) halted federal payments pending verification of how funds were being spent. WATCH

The US Embassy in India has issued a strict advisory for visa applicants—disclose all social media handles used over the last 5 years or risk visa denial and ineligibility for future visas. The rule applies to the DS-160 form, required for most non-immigrant visas including student, tourist, and work categories. Applicants are now expected to make their profiles public and ensure all information is true and accurate. This move follows heightened security protocols introduced during the Trump administration, where digital footprints became a key part of background checks.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on April 27 slammed Congress over politicization of Electronic Voting Machines. Slamming Congress, UP CM said that the people who are rejecting EVMs today are the same people who used to loot ballots. Speaking to ANI, he said, “Whenever Congress, Samajwadi Party, or any other party associated with the INDI alliance is losing elections, they make every effort to blame the defeat on EVMs. This is not the first time; we have been hearing this continuously since 2014. We want to ask these people that the Congress government formed in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka last year, whether it was formed based on ballot paper? In 2009, the UPA government was formed at the Centre, was it made of ballot paper? In 2004, the UPA government was formed in the country, and in 2018, the Congress government was formed in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, the AAP government was formed in Delhi, was it made of ballot paper?”
