Pam Bondi sparks firestorm by firing NJ Judges' pick to replace Trump insider Alina Habba
On Tuesday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi suddenly fired a federal prosecutor who had been appointed by New Jersey judges to take the place of Trump supporter Alina Habba . This caused a legal and political firestorm. People are angry about the decision, which has raised concerns about the independence of the courts, the influence of political parties, and the future of the state's top federal prosecutor. In a stunning move, Attorney General Pam Bondi fired Desiree Leigh Grace just hours after she was appointed by New Jersey's federal judges to replace interim U.S. Attorney Alina Habba, a close ally of President Donald Trump. Grace had been named in a formal court order signed by Chief Judge Renée Marie Bumb, but Bondi refused to let her take office.

Renee Marie Bumb, the chief judge for the District of New Jersey, signed an order on Tuesday designating Desiree Leigh Grace as the U.S. attorney for New Jersey. According to the order, judges decided not to prolong Habba's temporary position, which ends in 120 days. Habba was sworn in on March 28 after Trump appointed her on March 24, as per a report by NBC News. Live Events ALSO READ: iOS 26 Beta 4 is here — AI news, liquid glass glow and more sneak peek features tailor-made for you According to Bondi, however, Grace "has just been removed" and the "Department of Justice does not tolerate rogue judges, especially when they threaten the President's core Article II powers." Although no precise strategy has been decided upon yet, the goal is to reinstall Habba in the role in some capacity, similar to what the administration did with the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York, the source stated. During her time in office, Alina Habba made a lot of appearances in the media and was criticized for her remarks and for charging Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., with a confrontation with police at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Newark in May. McIver later entered a not guilty plea after being charged with three crimes by a federal grand jury. The Senate Judiciary Committee has not yet moved forward with Trump's nomination of Habba to assume the role permanently. How have lawmakers reacted to Bondi's decision? Democratic lawmakers were very upset about the firing, which made the debate over judicial independence and DOJ authority even more heated. Democratic senators Andy Kim and Cory Booker of New Jersey denounced the DOJ's action, saying that dismissing a career public servant is just another obvious attempt to weaken judicial independence and intimidate anyone who disagrees with them. They went on to say that New Jersey people should have a U.S. Attorney who will uphold the law and seek justice without regard to politics or partisanship. "Trump's Department of Justice is once again criticizing a court that acted within its authority, continuing a pattern of publicly undermining judicial decisions and showing disregard for the rule of law and the separation of powers," they wrote. Earlier on Tuesday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated on X that Habba's term does not end until Friday and that the "rush" to replace her "reveals what this was always about: a left-wing agenda, not the rule of law." The district court judges in NJ are trying to force out @USAttyHabba before her term expires at 11:59 p.m. Friday. Their rush reveals what this was always about: a left-wing agenda, not the rule of law. When judges act like activists, they undermine confidence in our justice… — Todd Blanche (@DAGToddBlanche) July 22, 2025 On Monday, Blanche stated on X that Habba "has the full confidence of DOJ leadership because she's doing the job, aggressively, independently, and by the book"; he added that "district judges should not be swayed by political noise," and he urged them to "keep her in place." FAQs Who did Pam Bondi fire in New Jersey? Pam Bondi removed Desiree Leigh Grace, the judges' choice to succeed Alina Habba as US Attorney. Why did the firing cause backlash? Critics argue that the firing undermines judicial independence and politicizes the Justice Department.

Can crunch hits United Breweries' growth as demand for canned beer surges
India's largest beer manufacturer, United Breweries Ltd is facing an unprecedented challenge -- shortage of cans leading to frequent stock outs when consumers now prefer to drink canned beer. The company has lost at least 1-2 points of growth due to this over the last six months, said managing director Vivek Gupta . "The shortage of cans is a challenge. Cans as a segment is growing at a certain pace, and there is no quick fix for the supply of cans. So that is a little bit of something for us, in the next quarter. This is definitely (an issue) for us, and for the industry as well. Those are some of the factors that make me nervous,' Gupta told analysts during the company's first quarter earnings call on Wednesday.

The premium portfolio, in particular, grew at 46%. Gupta said there is a fixed supply of cans in the market, whether it's for the beer industry, or some of the other industries. Even within beer industry, there is a fixed quota while the demand is more than that, he said. "So we definitely have stock outs, because we are not being able to supply cans. Or that we cant get cans,' he said. The MD said importing cans will also take time. "The government of India, along with multiple associations are working on that, but that also will take time, the backward integration in the beer industry needs a lot of work. Whether it's bottles or cans. We are actually actively working with international suppliers for long term on that. We would have atleast lost, I would say, 1-2 points growth because of lack of cans over a 6-month period," said Gupta. Last year the company imported new bottles as supplies remained tight. "The recycled bottle supply chain was very much disturbed by high cullet demand," the company said in its latest annual report. United Breweries has posted its standalone profit after tax for the first quarter ending June 30th at Rs 184 crore which grew by 6% on a year-on-year basis, and the net sales for the period grew by 16% to reach Rs 2,862 crore. The company invested Rs 136 crore in the first quarter as compared to Rs 89 crore during the same period last year. The investments were primarily focused on commercial and supply chain initiatives. On Wednesday, United Breweries' shares closed at Rs2,020 a piece on the BSE, down by 0.78%.

NYT Strands hints today, July 23: Spangram, theme, hints and answers revealed
The New York Times continues to stir up excitement among word puzzle enthusiasts with its popular game, NYT Strands. On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, the puzzle featured the quirky and delicious theme titled "Chips In", prompting players to dig through a grid of letters to uncover food-inspired terms that pair perfectly with chips. For those finding the puzzle a bit too flavorful to handle, hints and the all-important Spangram provided essential clues to crack the code. What is NYT Strands? NYT Strands is a brain-teasing word puzzle recently introduced by The New York Times as part of its growing digital Games section. Players are given a 6-by-8 letter grid and must discover words that relate to a shared theme. The twist lies in identifying a Spangram, a word or phrase that stretches across the grid, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, encapsulating the day's puzzle theme and unlocking the solution to other hidden words. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category PGDM Artificial Intelligence Cybersecurity Data Science Finance CXO Digital Marketing Others Data Science Management MBA Leadership Product Management Data Analytics Operations Management Design Thinking Healthcare Public Policy Project Management Degree others Skills you'll gain: Financial Analysis & Decision Making Quantitative & Analytical Skills Organizational Management & Leadership Innovation & Entrepreneurship Financial Analysis & Decision Making Quantitative & Analytical Skills Organizational Management & Leadership Innovation & Entrepreneurship Duration: 24 Months IMI Delhi Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Online) Starts on Sep 1, 2024 Get Details Skills you'll gain: Financial Analysis & Decision Making Quantitative & Analytical Skills Organizational Management & Leadership Innovation & Entrepreneurship Duration: 24 Months IMI Delhi Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Online) Starts on Sep 1, 2024 Get Details Today's Theme: 'Chips In' For July 23, 2025, the NYT Strands puzzle's theme was titled 'Chips In' — a cheeky nod to a category of culinary favorites frequently served as appetizers or party snacks. The theme nudged solvers to think in terms of dips that complement chips, crackers, or raw veggies. The key to cracking the puzzle was in spotting the flavors hidden within — not literally, but linguistically. Whether it's creamy, chunky, spicy, or savory, today's answers were as diverse as a platter at a summer barbecue. Hints to Savor To guide players toward the solution, two subtle clues were presented: Live Events Hint #1 described a classic Mediterranean accompaniment: a Greek dish made of yogurt, cucumber, and mint — often recognized as Tzatziki . Hint #2 invoked a staple of Mexican cuisine: a mashed avocado dish with onions, tomatoes, and spices — better known as Guacamole . These clues pointed solvers toward a wider theme involving party dips that might accompany chips at a social gathering. Spangram Revealed The Spangram is often the centerpiece of any NYT Strands puzzle. For July 23, the Spangram stretched horizontally across the grid and began with the letters 'PA.' With the additional hint — 'creamy or chunky mixtures served with chips or vegetables' — players quickly connected the dots to form the word 'PartyDips.' This central clue tied together all other answers in the puzzle, offering a cohesive framework to work from. All Theme Words in Today's Puzzle The full list of theme words, once discovered, confirmed the party platter idea: SALSA FONDUE HUMMUS GUACAMOLE TZATZIKI QUESO Each of these items is a well-known dip or accompaniment for chips or other snacks, reinforcing the 'Chips In' motif. Notably, the diversity of cuisines — from Middle Eastern hummus to Swiss fondue — highlighted the global appeal of party dips. How the Puzzle Progressed For many players, the solve began with relatively familiar dips like Salsa and Fondue, providing early momentum. Once the common thread of dips was recognized, others like Queso and Hummus quickly followed. The Spangram 'PartyDips' then acted as a helpful anchor, bridging the rest of the theme words and leading to a satisfying completion of the puzzle. What Makes the Spangram Special? The Spangram — short for 'spanning anagram' — is a uniquely positioned answer that crosses the entire puzzle grid. Unlike other theme words, the Spangram doesn't have to touch the edge of the grid but must extend between two opposing sides. Its purpose is to act as a macro clue that defines the puzzle's thematic essence. Spotting the Spangram early can make a dramatic difference in solving efficiency. On days like July 23, where the theme is especially vivid, the Spangram becomes not just a hint — but a rewarding eureka moment for solvers. Growing Popularity of NYT Strands While Wordle and Connections continue to enjoy a loyal following, NYT Strands has quickly found its niche. With its mix of logic, vocabulary, and creative thinking, the game offers a more layered challenge, appealing to seasoned wordsmiths and puzzle enthusiasts. Each day's theme offers a new opportunity to explore language — from pop culture to cuisine to abstract concepts — and July 23's dip-centric edition showcased the platform's versatility. The 'Chips In' edition of NYT Strands was a flavorful journey through a world of global dips, bringing together culinary curiosity and linguistic agility. From tzatziki to queso, the puzzle delighted solvers with a theme that was as delicious as it was clever. FAQs What is NYT Strands? NYT Strands is a daily word puzzle developed by The New York Times as part of its digital games collection. Players are given a 6x8 letter grid and must identify themed words hidden within. One central element is the Spangram — a word or phrase that stretches across the grid and captures the puzzle's overall theme. What was the theme of the NYT Strands puzzle on July 23, 2025? The theme was 'Chips In,' which revolved around popular dips and snacks often served with chips at parties or gatherings.
