McDonald's is back in the news again after it confirmed that the Snack Wrap will officially be coming back to restaurants permanently beginning Thursday, July 10. McDonald's snack wraps will return to US restaurants next month as the fast-food giant looks to boost sales after a sluggish start to the year, according to multiple media reports.McDonald's first launched its snack wraps nearly twenty years ago but removed them from the menu in 2016 due to their impact on kitchen efficiency. A few franchisees continued offering them until 2020, when the chain streamlined its menu during the Covid-19 pandemic to maintain faster service. The snack wraps were phased out alongside items like salads and parfaits.The Snack Wrap features one of McDonald's new McCrispy Strips – a juicy chicken strip made with all white meat – topped with crisp shredded lettuce and shredded cheese, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla, according to the chain.The item will be available in two flavors:Spicy: Bold, zesty and unapologetically fiery – our Spicy Snack Wrap brings the heat with a habanero kick that fans know and love from the Spicy McCrispy sandwich.Ranch: Smooth, rich and irresistibly savory – our Ranch Snack Wrap delivers a satisfying burst of cool ranch goodness, with hints of garlic and onion.McDonald's customers have long called for the return of snack wraps—starting petitions, making requests in drive-thru lanes, and tweeting daily at the company's official X account. Now, after years of demand, the wraps are making a comeback on July 10. The timing coincides with slowing sales, as cautious consumer spending led to a 3.6% drop in U.S. same-store sales during the first quarter.This time around, the snack wraps will feature McDonald's McCrispy Strips, which debuted nationwide in May. They'll be available in two flavors: spicy and ranch.'There's clear demand for this product,' CEO Chris Kempczinski told analysts in May, reports CNBC. 'We want to ensure we're meeting our customers' needs.'Customers can order the Snack Wrap a la carte or as a combo meal, which includes two Snack Wraps, medium fries and a drink of choice, according to McDonald's.To celebrate the return of the item, McDonald's has launched snackwrapfiles.com, a website they're calling "fans' VIP entry to all things Snack Wrap." "This is the content hub for the most anticipated menu item of the decade," the website's home page says. "Explore all the lore, like fan-inspired posts or merch concepts. And keep checking back because new files are added weekly."According to McDonald's, the Snack Wrap was phased out nationally in 2016, but it "never left fans' hearts.""From countless social media posts to full-fledged petitions, they never gave up on their favorite menu item. They're the ones who inspired us to make its return to the menu happen," McDonald's said.McDonald's is expanding its focus beyond beef with new chicken offerings, tapping into one of the restaurant industry's fastest-growing categories. The rising popularity of chains like Chick-fil-A, Popeyes, Raising Cane's, and Dave's Hot Chicken has fueled this chicken boom.The return of McDonald's snack wraps could mark a new chapter in the ongoing "chicken wars." On Monday, Popeyes — owned by Restaurant Brands International — launched its own version: hearty Chicken Wraps wrapped in a biscuit-inspired tortilla, available for a limited time.

PM Modi 3.0: A resounding mandate for a stronger, bolder, rising Bharat
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi took oath on June 9, 2024, for a historic third consecutive term, he didn't just make history, he shattered every political myth built by the opposition over the last decade. In a post-COVID world where no major global leader could return to power, Modi emerged not only victorious but undefeated and unshaken. In a country where no Prime Minister in the last 50 years had achieved three consecutive terms, the people once again placed their full trust in one man, Narendra Modi 3.0, India's internal and external security has undergone a tectonic shift. The days of reacting to terror with dossiers and diplomatic notes are over. Today, terror is answered with tactical precision and overwhelming force. The world watched as Operation Sindoor redefined India's war doctrine. Nine cross-border terror hubs, linked to 25 years of attacks on India and other nations, were dismantled. Over 100 terrorists were neutralised. This was not mere retribution; it was a clear change in India's war doctrine: India now treats any act of terror as an act of war. This transformation was further strengthened by the deployment of indigenously built defence systems like Akashteer, a symbol of India's growing military self-reliance. Defence exports, which were Rs 686 crore in 2013, have surged past Rs 23,000 crore in 2025, with more than 90 countries now sourcing India's defence technology. India is no longer just a defender but a global supplier of milestones have followed in step with these security achievements. What past regimes promised for 2047, Modi 3.0 delivered in 2025. India is now a $4 trillion economy, the world's fourth-largest, proving that with vision and resolve, timelines can be compressed and milestones accelerated. Foreign exchange reserves have soared to $700 billion, reflecting deep financial resilience. The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) stands at a 10-month high, signaling robust industrial growth. In a move that stunned critics and delighted the masses, the Union Budget abolished income tax for incomes up to Rs 12 lakh, a historic relief to India's middle class, igniting a surge in consumption, savings, and investment. This growing economic strength translated into unprecedented political success. In state after state, the BJP-led NDA expanded its footprint, demolishing long-standing political strongholds and rewriting electoral history, all fought and won under Prime Minister Modi's leadership. In Maharashtra, the alliance secured over 79% of assembly seats, reaffirming its grip over India's industrial powerhouse. In Haryana, the BJP achieved the unprecedented feat of forming the government for a third consecutive term. Perhaps the most symbolic breakthrough came in Delhi, where the BJP returned to power after 27 years, ending decades of politics built on populism, freebies, and false promises. These victories were not isolated regional wins; they were united national endorsements for Modi's leadership, fought in his name and sealed by the people's Modi 3.0 government has also demonstrated political strength by passing some of the most contentious bills in recent history with absolute authority and without disruption in both Houses of Parliament. The Waqf Amendment Bill, long suppressed under layers of political appeasement, was decisively enacted to restore land rights and dignity to neglected Muslim sects, especially Muslim women, ending decades of the bold announcement of a nationwide Caste Census alongside the decadal census, Modi 3.0 shattered the status quo. Previous regimes merely exploited the caste census as a cynical vote-bank tool; this government seized it as a powerful instrument for data-driven governance, evidence-based policymaking, and true social empowerment, boldly moving beyond divisive politics.A major step towards long-term reform came when the Cabinet approved the long-pending One Nation, One Election proposal. This reform, long overdue, promises to eliminate policy stagnation, reduce election costs, and ensure smoother governance nationwide. Only a government with political will and a long-term vision could push this internal security story is no less remarkable. Once infamous as a Left-Wing Extremism hub, Bastar is now nearly free from Naxal terror. Through a combination of precise operations, development initiatives, and inclusive governance, the government has broken the backbone of the red corridor. The promise to make India entirely Naxal-free is no longer a slogan, it is rapidly becoming a reality. The number of LWE-affected districts reduced from 126 to 90 in April 2018, 70 in July 2021, and further to 38 in April 2024. Out of the total Naxalism-affected districts, the number of the most affected districts has been reduced from 12 to projects, too, tell a story of transformation. From the strategic Wadhwan port to the ambitious Polavaram Project, from the engineering marvel of the Chenab Bridge, the world's highest railway bridge, to the Z-Morh tunnel enhancing border connectivity, India is witnessing the largest and most integrated infrastructure revolution since Independence. These are not mere construction efforts, they are milestones in term is not just about continuity but marks a new high watermark in India's journey. Modi 3.0 is firmer in resolve, sharper in delivery, and more unstoppable in ambition. With unparalleled political capital, global credibility, and the unshakable trust of the people, this government is rewriting the rules of governance, redefining national security, and reimagining India's opposition leaders were saying that Modi 3.0 wouldn't match the momentum of his earlier terms. But PM Modi 3.0 emerges as a resounding mandate for a stronger, bolder, rising Bharat has proven otherwise, emerging as a more assertive, far-reaching, and visionary phase of leadership. With greater political consolidation, bold reforms, and a renewed national agenda, this third term is not just continuing the legacy but accelerating it, reaffirming the people's enduring trust in Modi's leadership.(Pradeep Bhandari is the national spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party.)

Statsguru: What explains cracks in infrastructure at India's major airports
A structure at the arrival forecourt of the Delhi airport's Terminal 1 collapsed due to heavy rains and thunderstorms. The airport operator – Delhi International Airport Ltd, or DIAL – however said the external tensile fabric collapsed because of water accumulation. While no fatalities were reported, the incident serves as a grim reminder of last year's fatal accident at the same terminal. Such structural failures are not rare anymore. In 2024 alone, media reports recorded at least five incidents of structure collapses and four cases of rainwater leakage at airports. This has been the case despite the share of aeronautical revenues in total revenues increasing for most of the country's airports in FY24 – even if not to the level that many major overseas counterparts have (Chart 1). For the country's major airports, repair & maintenance expenditures declined year-on-year in proportion to their aeronautical revenues in FY24. However, there was a huge variation in this share: While the Airport Authority of India (AAI) spent over a fourth of its total aeronautical revenues during the year, Hyderabad spent just around nine per cent. The trend was mixed at two major overseas airports (Chart 2). Expenditure on building maintenance for the country's major airports is less than 7 per cent of their aeronautical revenues. The variation was too high – from 0.9 per cent to 6.8 per cent – in FY24 (Chart 3). Trends shown in Charts 2 and 3 are despite an increase in the share of revenues from user development fee (UDF) in aeronautical revenues across airports. However, in Delhi's case, it is much less than Hyderabad's and AAI's (Chart 4). Half of repair & maintenance expenditure was allocated to plant & machinery at most airports, with the AAI being an exception. On the other hand, buildings, at most, accounted for one-fourth of repair & maintenance spending in FY24 (Chart 5). Since the Covid-19 pandemic struck India in 20202, government-initiated audits and inspections of airports have been on the rise (Chart 6).

Today, that figure has soared. According to the latest data from Redfin, the median home price in April was $437,864—an increase of 1.3% compared to the same time last surge in prices, driven by a pandemic-fueled buying spree and a long-standing housing shortage, has made homeownership increasingly out of reach—especially for first-time buyers.

Based on a 30-year fixed mortgage at a 6.8% interest rate—and assuming a 20% down payment of $21,800—the typical monthly cost, including taxes, insurance, and interest, comes to about $ affordable housing continues to be challenging along the East Coast, particularly in the Northeast, where inventory remains tight. Still, buyers may uncover properties under $300,000 in cities such as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore.
