On Sept.
25, the Biden administration

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

In a 6â3 decision, the US Supreme Court has reinstated Donald Trumpâs controversial ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The ruling allows the Pentagon to discharge troops diagnosed with gender dysphoria and reject new enlistees unless they serve in their birth Sex and forego transitioning. This reversal follows Trumpâs January executive order and strikes down protections restored during Biden's tenure. The policy has sparked outrage among LGBTQ+ advocates, reigniting debates on civil rights, military readiness, and the limits of executive power under the Constitution.

Ukraine is set to receive more U.S.-made Patriot air-defense systems as deadly Russian strikes intensify. A refurbished system from Israel is being rerouted, with Germany or Greece possibly sending another. While Trump pushes for peace, Zelenskyâs plea for more weapons resurfaces after a missile strike killed 13 in Kyiv. With U.S. weapons deliveries from Bidenâs era nearing exhaustion, the incoming Patriots are vital. The recent minerals deal between Ukraine and the U.S. could also open the door for further arms support as Kyiv braces for another wave of Russian aggression.

A U.S. federal judge has ordered the White House to reinstate Associated Press access to presidential events. The AP was removed from the press pool after refusing to adopt President Trumpâs renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the âGulf of America.â The court ruled the exclusion violated First Amendment protections. While the AP isnât guaranteed first-in-line status, the judge said it must not be treated unfairly. The decision affirms media rights amid accusations of press suppression by the Trump administration, which had called the AP âradicalâ for not complying.
