ASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (DIL), a senior House Intelligence Committee member, opposed the Trump administration’s proposed sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, citing concerns that China could gain access to sensitive U.S. military technology. Krishnamoorthi said the administration should not proceed

Travel Certiﬁcates At-Home Pickup COVID-19 Positive? We test for variants

while U.S. intelligence officials warn that China could obtain F-35 technology through espionage or Saudi Arabia’s military and security ties with Beijing. A Defense Intelligence Agency assessment reportedly raised concerns about Chinese military access to Saudi bases and Chinese technology in Saudi telecommunications infrastructure. The proposed $24 billion package includes 48 F-35 jets and a spare engine. The State Department

sent the package to congressional committees in June for informal review. Officials are particularly concerned about protecting advanced radar and surveillance technology. Krishnamoorthi previously raised similar concerns in a November 2025 letter, seeking information about safeguards surrounding a possible Saudi sale and Riyadh’s military and digital ties with China, including protection against unauthorized technology transfers.

Bayer Wins FDA Approval for Kerendia in Type 1 Diabetes

COVID-19 RT-PCR Testing

WHIPPANY, N.J. — Bayer said the FDA approved KERENDIA (finerenone) for adults with chronic kidney disease associated with type 1 diabetes, making it the first new treatment approved for this population in more than 30 years. The once-daily oral drug was approved to reduce urinary albuminto-creatinine ratio, a marker associated with kidney disease progression and kidney failure. The decision followed Priority Review of Bayer’s supplemental application. Approval was supported mainly by the Phase III FINE-ONE trial, involving 242 adults. KERENDIA reduced UACR by 22% versus placebo at three months and 28% at six months. Safety findings were generally consistent with previous studies. Adverse events occurred in 47.1% of KERENDIA patients and 49.2%

receiving placebo, while serious events occurred in 11.8% and 11.5%, respectively. Hyperkalemia occurred more often with KERENDIA, affecting 10.1% of patients compared with 3.3% receiving placebo. Treatment discontinuation due to hyperkalemia occurred in 1.7%.

KERENDIA is a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist and is now specifically indicated for adults with CKD associated with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It was approved in 2021 for certain kidney and cardiovascular risks in adults with CKD and type 2 diabetes.

ASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote Wednesday on a Russia sanctions bill that could authorize President Donald Trump to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries purchasing Russian oil, including India. The legislation cleared a key procedural vote in the House on Tuesday by a narrow 214-211 margin after two Democrats joined Republicans. The bill, which passed the Senate last month with an 86-11 vote, targets Russia’s leadership, energy sector, and “shadow fleet” used to evade sanctions. The measure would also allow the president to impose steep tariffs on major buyers of Russian oil and gas, such as India and China. Supporters say Russia’s energy exports help fund its war in Ukraine, while critics argue the bill grants the president broad tariff powers with limited oversight. If approved by the House, the bill will head to President Trump for his signature.

Krishnamoorthi Blasts Florida Councilman’s Latest Anti-Indian Attack WASHINGTON, DC— Indian American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has pushed back against Palm Bay, Florida, City Councilman Chandler Langevin after the local official again targeted him and the Indian community in a social media post. Langevin, responding to Krishnamoorthi on social media, wrote on September 11: “I won Rajesh. Take your curry and go home.” The remark was part of a renewed series of posts by Langevin directed at Krishnamoorthi, Indians and immigrants. Recent reporting confirms that Langevin has repeatedly referred to the Illinois Democrat as “Rajesh,” a reference to a character from the television series “The Big Bang Theory.” Krishnamoorthi responded by rejecting the suggestion that he did not belong in the United States. “I’m staying. So is the curry. America is my home. No bigot gets to decide who is American, who belongs here, or what they have for dinner. That’s the America I’ll always fight for,” Krishnamoorthi said in a

statement. The exchange marks the latest episode in a dispute dating to 2025, when Langevin attracted national attention for a series of social media posts about Indians and Indian immigrants.

sides. Speaking to IANS during promotions for ‘Last Man in Tower’ in Mumbai, Bajpayee discussed the fear and uncertainty he experiences before starting a new role. He said there are times when he wants to refuse a project because dealing with a character’s dark side can be frightening and difficult. However, he said this challenge is also what makes acting meaningful. Bajpayee explained that actors must first confront their own darker sides before they can understand and portray similar aspects of their characters. He described acting as a personal process requiring self-awareness and introspection. The actor said roles containing grey shades and multiple layers are challenging because performers need to understand themselves to understand their characters. He added that examining oneself is essential for portraying complex roles. ‘Last Man in Tower’, which also stars Divya Dutta and is directed by Ben Rekhi, is currently playing in cinemas.

MUMBAI — Filmmaker Rohit Shetty announced that the fifth installment of the Golmaal franchise will release on January 8, 2027, promising laughter, fun, joy and family entertainment. He shared a poster featuring Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, Shreyas Talpade and Kunal Kemmu on the iconic motorcycle. Filming began in March, with Akshay Kumar joining the ensemble cast. Shetty said the first Golmaal, released in 2006, changed his life and credited audiences for supporting the franchise. He said the team had entertained viewers for two decades and was beginning another journey with Golmaal 5. The franchise began with Golmaal in 2006 and continued with Golmaal Returns in 2008, Golmaal 3 in 2010 and Golmaal Again in 2017. The fifth film brings back regular cast members, with Akshay joining. The director marked the announcement by sharing a vibrant poster on Instagram, showing the actors seated on the stretchedout motorcycle associated with the franchise. Shetty had earlier recalled that the original film changed his life and thanked audiences for their support over the years. He said the team had sometimes disappointed viewers but remained honest in its work, and asked fans for their blessings as filming began. The first Golmaal film starred Devgn, Tusshar Kapoor, Warsi and Joshi, alongside Rimi Sen and Paresh Rawal. The series later expanded its ensemble, with actors returning across the sequels. Golmaal 5 continues the comedy franchise today.

‘Mirzapur’

actor Harshita Gaur on dealing with the pressure to look perfect all the time

MUMBAI — Mirzapur fame actress Harshita Gaur said actors can choose how they respond to pressure to look perfect and remain camera-ready. Speaking to IANS, she said she is comfortable experimenting with her appearance when a role demands it, calling that part of acting. Harshita noted that audiences have become more accepting of different body and skin types when they suit characters. She said social media has changed attitudes toward appearance and body image. She added that established actors sometimes appear without makeup when characters require authenticity. Citing Kareena Kapoor, Harshita said she had also appeared without makeup in a film, reflecting audiences’ growing comfort with actors showing themselves naturally when roles demand it. Harshita said experimentation remains important in the entertainment industry. She said this flexibility allows performers to focus on characters rather than appearance standards today.

Pak-Amercan Adult Daycare Owner Sentenced in $64M Medicaid Fraud Case BROOKLYN, NY - A Brooklyn woman has been sentenced to 76 months in federal prison for leading a $64 million Medicaid fraud and illegal kickback scheme involving two social adult daycare centers and a home health care company. Zakia Khan, 55, was also ordered to pay more than $56 million in restitution and forfeit $5 million in fraud proceeds, including two properties, cash and gold jewelry seized from her home, according to the Justice Department. Khan owned Happy Family Social Adult Day Care Center Inc. and Family Social Adult Day Care Center Inc., as well as Responsible Care Staffing Inc., a home health care fiscal intermediary. Prosecutors said she also controlled Tanwee Services Inc., an entity used to receive and conceal proceeds from the fraud. According to court documents, the scheme operated from approximately October 2017 through July 2024. Marketers received kickbacks and bribes for referring Medicaid recipients to Khan’s adult daycare centers. Khan and others also paid Medicaid recipients to enroll for services that were later billed to the government program. Prosecutors said many of the services billed to Medicaid were never provided as represented. Between 2017 and 2024, Happy Family and Family Social submitted approximately $64 million in fraudulent Medicaid claims, resulting in about $56 million in payments. Khan and her coconspirators allegedly used multiple

KHAN AND HER CO-CONSPIRATORS ALLEGEDLY USED MULTIPLE BUSINESSES TO LAUNDER PROCEEDS AND GENERATE CASH FOR KICKBACKS TO MARKETERS AND MEDICAID RECIPIENTS. businesses to launder proceeds and generate cash for kickbacks to marketers and Medicaid recipients. Khan pleaded guilty in August 2025 to conspiracy to commit health care fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States and pay health care kickbacks. Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald said the sentence demonstrated the Justice Department’s commitment to protecting Medicaid and the seniors who depend on its services. “Social adult day care and home health services are designed to support seniors, not line the pockets of fraudsters,” said Miranda L. Bennett, acting deputy inspector general for investigations at the Department of Health and Human

Philadelphia Celebrates Ganesh Festival with Devotion PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Philadelphia Ganesh Festival at Bharatiya Temple is drawing growing participation, with approximately 2,000 devotees and community members from Greater Philadelphia and neighboring states joining this year’s procession and celebrations. The 11-day festival began on September 14 and will continue through September 25, featuring religious ceremonies, traditional processions, prayers, devotional activities, Maha Prasad and cultural programs. Families gathered in large numbers to welcome Lord Ganesha and participate in the festivities, which organizers say have become an important celebration of Indian spirituality, culture and community life in the region. Cultural and devotional programs are scheduled each evening, highlighting the diversity of Indian traditions and performing arts. A highlight of the opening day was “Krishna… Ek Anokha Nrityavishkar,” presented by Guru Sonia Parchure and her group.
