During his inauguration, Donald Trump announced plans to restore the name of North America’s tallest peak from Denali to Mount McKinley. This move would reverse Barack Obama’s 2015 decision to honor Alaska’s indigenous heritage by officially recognizing the traditional name, Denali, meaning "The High One." The peak, named after President McKinley in 1917, has been a point of contention between honoring indigenous culture and preserving historical legacies, with Trump's decision reigniting a decades-long debate.

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, greeted his Indian Hindu parents with “Jai Shri Krishna” during his confirmation hearing. A former Department of Defense Chief of Staff and fervent Trump supporter, Patel faces tough questioning from Senate Democrats over his past criticisms of the FBI and his loyalty to the President. Critics argue Patel’s qualifications and his approach to FBI authority could lead to partisan retribution. As FBI Director, Patel would oversee 37,000 employees and multiple international offices.
