In a rare public outburst on the Senate floor Tuesday, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker took his Democratic colleagues to task, declaring his party 'needs a wake-up call!'Angrily screaming at two of his shocked Democratic colleagues, his words all but reverberating off the chamber walls, Booker blocked the passage of several bipartisan bills that would fund police programs, arguing that President Donald Trump's administration has been withholding law enforcement money from Democratic-leaning states.'This is the problem with Democrats in America right now,' Booker bellowed. 'Is we're willing to be complicit with Donald Trump!'The surprise Senate spat over bills that have broad bipartisan support — mental health resources and other help for police officers — strikes at the heart of the beleaguered Democratic party's dilemma in the second Trump era as they try to find a way back to power, and also their frustration as Republicans have pushed through legislation and nominations that they vehemently disagree with. Do they cooperate where they can, or do they fight everything, and shut down governance in the process?

Pharmaceuticals, IT services, Electronics and Auto components: How will Donald Trump's 25 percent tariffs affect India? Experts say India will now...
Donald Trump- File image New Delhi: In a shocking turn of events for India-US trade relations, the US, under the leadership of President Donald Trump announced the imposition of a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming from India starting August 1, plus an unspecified penalty for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment. The surprise announcement came a day after Indian officials said that a US trade team would visit from August 25 to negotiate a trade deal. After the imposition has been announced, several industry experts have expressed opinions on how the tariffs are going to impact the Indian market. Which key Indian sectors will be impacted? Auto & Auto Components : This sector may be hit hard, with companies like Tata Motors (Jaguar Land Rover) and auto component exporters exposed to the US market. Electronics & Textiles : These sectors could see increased pressure due to higher tariffs, making Indian goods less competitive. Pharmaceuticals & IT Services: These sectors remain largely exempt from the new tariffs, but could face indirect impact if US economic activity slows. What do experts say on US tariffs on India? Reacting to the development, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) President Hemant Jain said that the United States' recalibrated trade policy, which is also targeting other major exporters like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, signals a larger supply chain realignment, as per a report carried by news agency IANS. 'While Indian MSMEs may feel an initial impact, this is also an opportunity. Global buyers are now looking to de-risk from overdependence on a few geographies, and India is emerging as the most credible, democratic, and scalable alternative,' Jain was quoted as saying by the report. Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) Chairman Kirit Bhansali struck a cautious tone, appealing for diplomatic engagement. 'We urge the US administration to reconsider and call on both governments to engage in constructive dialogue that safeguards bilateral trade and protects the millions of jobs that depend on it on both sides,' he said.

DNA Test Of US President Trump Tariff Bulling
In a move that's sparked diplomatic concern, US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods. A decision that coincided with the historic launch of the NISAR satellite, jointly developed by ISRO and NASA. While space collaboration between India and the US soared to new heights, Trump launched what many are calling a "tariff strike" on one of America's key allies. Dubbed "Mr. 25 Per cent," Trump claimed the tariffs were a response to India's high duties on American products, its continued defence deals with Russia, and its oil trade with Moscow. India, purchasing over 35 per cent of its crude oil from Russia at prices up to $25 cheaper per barrel, has prioritised national interest over external pressure. With long-term rupee-ruble agreements, India saves significantly on foreign reserves and fuel subsidies. Today's DNA analysed US President Trump tariff bulling. Watch Today's Full Episode: DNA में आज की बड़ी खबरें भारत-रूस की दोस्ती..ट्रंप से नहीं देखी गई? एनकाउंटर में 'सावन का सोमवार' दिखता है? सदी का सबसे बड़ा भूकंप..क्या बचा, क्या मिटा? WATCH DNA LIVE : #USTariff #DonaldTrump @pratyushkkhare — Zee News (@ZeeNews) July 30, 2025 The defense angle is just as critical. India has bought $45 billion worth of defense equipment from Russia, compared to $22 billion from the U.S. Despite this, India also imports from France and other countries, showcasing strategic autonomy in defense procurement. Trump's tariff targets, interestingly, align with BRICS nations, including 30 per cent on China and South Africa, 50 per cent on Brazil, and now 25 per cent on India. Analysts suggest that India's rising influence in BRICS and its independent foreign policy irked Trump. India exports heavily to the US in sectors like pharmaceuticals, textiles, agriculture, and jewellery, and all are likely to be impacted. On the import side, civil aircraft, medical devices, and electronics from the US will become more expensive. However, experts believe this tariff may be more of a negotiation tactic. Trump has previously rolled back tariffs post-pressure. With ongoing talks and India exploring new markets like the UK and BRICS, a potential US-India trade compromise still remains on the table.
