Doing us no good': Trump signs order to eliminate US Department of Education - 'Doing us no good': Trump signs order to eliminate US Department of Education BusinessToday Amid growing criticism over a major blunder, the White House faces questions about how a serious mistake occurred and whether it could be repeated. In a shocking error, the Trump administration mistakenly added a journalist to a private chat discussing classified US military plans regarding strikes on the Houthi group in Yemen. Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, was accidentally included in a Signal chat group titled "Houthi PC small group," where high-ranking officials discussed sensitive military strategies, including plans for US strikes in Yemen. The Guardian reported that senior figures, including Vice President JD Vance, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, were using the Signal app to coordinate their efforts. While Signal is encrypted, it is not authorized for sharing classified information. Goldberg, upon realizing he had been added to the chat with 18 senior Trump administration officials, swiftly deleted sensitive materials, including details about a CIA officer and ongoing operations.

How Holi Brings Joy and Color to the Widows of Vrindavan

 Holi 2024: What Do the Colors Red, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Green, Blue, and Purple Symbolise? - News18

Living in poverty and bound by tradition, thousands of Hindu widows in the sacred city of Vrindavan lead lives of austerity. Yet, the festival of Holi offers them a fleeting chance to experience joy and color, breaking away from their difficult realities.

Vrindavan, associated with Lord Krishna's childhood, has long been a refuge for widowed Hindu women. In Hindu society, widowhood is often stigmatized, with widows expected to live in austerity and avoid participating in celebratory events. Viewed as a financial burden, many widows migrate to holy towns like Vrindavan, relying on charity from the State, NGOs, temples, and ashrams to survive.

During Holi, however, these women are given an opportunity to momentarily defy tradition and enjoy the festive spirit, adding a rare splash of color and fun to their otherwise challenging lives.
