The former president later clarified in an Instagram post that he was referring to the statistical likelihood of life existing on other planets given the vastness of the universe. When asked about the comments on Thursday, Trump said on Air Force One, “Well, I don’t know if they’re real or not.

That is an argument that India doesn’t have a grand strategy. But let me say, Indians don’t want to be a superpower in the same sense as China. And I think that means a little more of realistic view of what India can do. Many projections put India within the top, at least, three leading economies in the world, after the United States and China or China and the United States. However, they look around the world, and they see that they’re not getting that respect.

The senator is promoting a labor union’s proposal to impose a one-time 5% tax on the assets of California billionaires and trusts to backfill federal healthcare funding cuts by the Trump administration. Sanders previously endorsed the proposal on social media and in public statements, and said he would seek to create a national version of the wealth tax. Inside, attendees heard from labor leaders, healthcare workers and others whose lives are being affected by federal funding cuts to healthcare. Mahan argued that the proposal had already hurt the state’s finances by driving economic investment and tax revenue out of California to tax-friendly environs. Rob Lapsley, president of California Business Round Table, added that if the wealth tax is approved, it would destroy the state’s innovation economy, destabilize tax revenue and ultimately result in all Californians paying higher taxes.

The Justice Department is seeking to join a federal lawsuit accusing the Los Angeles Unified School District of discriminating against white students. The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking to join a federal lawsuit accusing the Los Angeles school district of discriminating against white students. Advertisement“The District engages in — and publicly touts — a program of overt discrimination against a new minority: White students,” the lawsuit states. This framework frequently worked to the advantage of white students, because there were relatively fewer white students competing for the number of magnet slots reserved for them. Some magnets are virtually all students of color because few or no white students apply.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON, Feb 18 (Reuters) - A detainee died in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Indiana on Monday, with the cause of death under investigation, ICE said on Wednesday, marking at least the seventh death in 2026 in federal immigration custody.

Earlier this month, Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian woman who lost dozens of family members in Gaza, was hospitalized for three days following a seizure in U.S. immigration detention. Kordia, a 33-year-old Muslim Palestinian woman whose mother is a U.S. citizen, said she was chained during her hospitalization. ICE has said it ensures detainees receive proper medical care and the federal government has denied treating detainees inhumanely.
