Capitol Hil

The Indian flag fluttering in a sea of banners during the US Capitol siege on Thursday sparked much debate - and some amusement - on social media. Reactions ranged from anger and dismay to plain curiosity about the flag-waver. A sharp exchange between Congress leader Shashi Tharoor and BJP MP Varun Gandhi drew a lot of attention.

President Donald Trump said he would make a massive budget request for one of the "greatest military buildups in American history" on Friday in a feisty, campaign-style speech extolling robust nationalism to eager conservative activists.
