On Sept.
25, the Biden administration
revealed that over $1.4 billion has been awarded

Much of the money is provided
by the 2021 infrastructure law.
These projects will make American rail safer, more reliable, and more resilient, delivering tangible benefits to dozens of communities where railroads are located, and strengthening supply chains for the entire country.

crashed and spilled toxins throughout the town.
Railroad safety has gained national attention
ever since the East Palestine, Ohio, incident
in which a train carrying hazardous chemicals
crashed and spilled toxins throughout the town.
Several other derailments have
occurred since that incident.
The new rail projects will see tracks upgraded, bridges repaired, improved railway connectivity and more.
$178.4 million will go toward restoring passenger service along areas near the Gulf of Mexico that have been
out of commission since 2005's Hurricane Katrina.
This is a significant milestone, representing years of dedicated efforts to reconnect our communities after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.
Restoring passenger rail service will create jobs, improve quality of life, and offer a convenient travel option for tourists, contributing to our regionâs economic growth and vitality, Sen.
Roger Wicker, R-Miss., via statement.
The largest grant, $202 million,
will serve to restructure railways in
California to build a high-speed rail line
Donald Trump ripped into Vladimir Putin, accusing him of killing "too many people" and mistreating human lives. In a sharp shift, Trump confirmed he supports sending defensive weapons to Ukraine, criticizing Biden for over-equipping Kyiv but acknowledging Ukrainian bravery. âWe gave them far more than Europe. Shouldâve been less,â Trump said. Calling Putin ânice but meaningless,â Trump admitted, âWe get a lot of bullsh*t thrown at us.â His remarks mark a dramatic tone against the Russian leader ahead of the 2024 race.

At least 82 people are dead, including 28 children, after catastrophic floods swept through central Texas. As rescue teams search for 11 missing girls last seen at Camp Mystic, Donald Trump deflects responsibility, calling the tragedy a âBiden setupâ and brushing off questions about slashed FEMA and weather budgets. Entire communities were engulfed as the Guadalupe River surged 26 feet in just 45 minutes.

The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate.
The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive.
Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russiaâs overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support?
This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable?

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a âcapability reviewâ to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with Americaâs shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries â some of which are now halted â to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White Houseâs decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration.
With President Trumpâs âAmerica Firstâ policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russiaâs advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments â and a boost for Russian military strategy. Is Washington walking away from Kyiv?

In this video, we break down what led to the latest nuclear standoff, the implications of Iran possibly exiting the NPT, the frozen US-Iran nuclear talks, and what Donald Trump and Biden are saying about sanctions and diplomacy. Will Iran return to the negotiating table, or are we on the brink of a new nuclear crisis?
