Trump, who has faced criticism for allegedly showing favoritism towards Russia, emphasized that Russia is aware of the pressure being applied.

Published: Apr 25 2025, 1 ameznews.inThe New York Times has faced criticism from the US government regarding its reporting on a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 individuals, including a foreign national, were killed by militants demanding proof of allegiance to Islam. The attack was claimed by The Resistance Front, a Pakistan-based group linked to the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba. The NYT referred to the incident as a "militant" attack, prompting the US House Foreign Affairs Committee to assert on social media that it was a "terrorist attack, plain and simple." The committee highlighted perceived double standards in the Western media's terminology, contrasting coverage of terrorism in Kashmir with that of conflicts like the Ukraine invasion. Analysts argue that this discrepancy reflects broader issues in how terrorism is reported, particularly in relation to India and Pakistan's historical tensions over Jammu and Kashmir. 
Published: Apr 25 2025, 1 ameznews.inPresident Donald Trump announced he will interview journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who gained notoriety for exposing a significant security breach involving U.S. military strike plans shared on the Signal app. The Atlantic editor was criticized by Trump and his administration after revealing sensitive details about U.S. strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, which led to calls for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The controversy, dubbed "Signalgate," raised serious concerns about national security and the safety of U.S. service members. Despite the backlash, Trump has defended Hegseth and dismissed the incident as a "witch hunt." In a social media post, Trump expressed his curiosity about whether The Atlantic could provide an accurate portrayal during the interview, referencing previous criticisms of Goldberg's reporting, including allegations that Trump called fallen soldiers "suckers" and "losers," a claim confirmed by former chief of staff John Kelly. 
Published: Apr 24 2025, 11 pmeznews.inA federal judge in California ruled on Thursday that President Donald Trump cannot legally withhold federal funds from "sanctuary cities," which provide limited protections to undocumented migrants. The ruling comes as Trump intensifies his mass deportation agenda, aiming to deport "millions" of undocumented individuals during his second term. Sanctuary cities, including San Francisco, Chicago, and New York, restrict local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. Trump's administration had threatened to cut federal funding for roads and infrastructure unless these cities complied with immigration enforcement. Judge William H. Orrick's order prohibits the Trump administration from taking any action to withhold funds from these jurisdictions. In response, Trump’s deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, criticized the ruling as a "judicial coup." Meanwhile, another federal judge recently blocked efforts to revoke legal status for hundreds of thousands of migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti. 
Published: Apr 24 2025, 11 pmeznews.inUS President Donald Trump has criticized Harvard University as an "Anti-Semitic, Far Left Institution," amid a legal battle over his administration's funding freeze targeting the prestigious school. Harvard has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, arguing that the funding conditions imposed on federal grants are unlawful and politically motivated, undermining the university's independence. Trump's administration has been vocal about what it deems unchecked anti-Semitism on college campuses, particularly in response to protests related to Israel's actions in Gaza, which they claim have been marred by anti-Semitic sentiments. In an executive order issued recently, Trump aims to reform higher education funding and accreditation, asserting that universities should prioritize high-quality academic programs. The administration's actions have led to a freeze of $2.2 billion in funding for Harvard, escalating tensions between the university and the White House over issues of diversity and academic freedom. 
Published: Apr 24 2025, 11 pmeznews.inImmigration attorneys in the United States are increasingly alarmed as the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) begins requesting home addresses and biometric data from H-1B visa applicants, marking a significant shift from established practices. This change aligns with the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement efforts and presents new hurdles for international students enrolled in over 240 U.S. colleges and universities. Immigration officials are issuing Requests for Evidence (RFEs) that demand personal data, including biometrics, which are typically not required for H-1B applications. Attorney Vic Goel noted the unusual nature of these requests, highlighting a lack of clear rationale from USCIS, which has led to confusion among foreign employers and their legal representatives. Goel advises against direct responses to these RFEs, referencing regulations that mandate USCIS to disclose any unusual information influencing visa decisions. This development has raised significant concerns regarding the agency's intentions and its impact on foreign workers and students.

In early 2024, Garnreiter faced persistent night sweats and itchy skin, attributing her discomfort to stress following her father's death from colon cancer. Seeking answers, she consulted ChatGPT, which suggested she might have blood cancer—a warning she initially dismissed, influenced by friends urging her to trust medical professionals. However, as her symptoms worsened, further medical examinations revealed a large mass on her lung, confirming the AI's prediction. Now preparing for chemotherapy, Garnreiter emphasizes the importance of listening to one's body and raises awareness about the role of AI in health detection, urging people not to overlook unusual symptoms. Hodgkin lymphoma, while less common, has a high treatability rate, with a five-year survival rate exceeding 80%.
