Breitbart: Rep. Cloud, Sen. Risch Introduce Bill Blocking Federal Gun Registry
Rep. Michael Cloud and Sen. Jim Risch are introducing the "No REGISTRY Rights Act" to prevent the creation of a federal gun registry, asserting it protects Second Amendment rights. The act aims to dismantle the ATF's existing database of firearm purchase records and prohibit future record collection.
Cloud criticized the Biden administration for allegedly circumventing laws against federal gun registries, claiming increased surveillance and overreach by the ATF. The proposed legislation seeks to delete current records and ensure no federal agency can maintain a firearms registry.

Le Monde: Gaza ceasefire: Hope and caution
A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has been announced, offering hope for both Gazan Palestinians and Israeli hostages taken during the October 7 attacks. However, the situation remains fragile, with concerns about the lack of a clear plan for stabilization and reconstruction in Gaza.
The ceasefire could be a fleeting moment if not followed by effective governance and rebuilding efforts. The risk of Hamas's resurgence looms if the cycle of violence continues, with both Israelis and Palestinians yearning for leadership that prioritizes peace and stability.

Breitbart: Bessent To Call For Tax Relief For Manufacturers, Service Workers, And Seniors
Scott Bessent, Trump's Treasury nominee, plans to emphasize reducing the tax burden on U.S. manufacturers, service workers, and retirees during his Senate confirmation hearing. He warns of a potential $4 trillion tax increase if Congress does not make the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent.
Bessent will also address the importance of maintaining the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency and securing supply chains. He aims to differentiate Trump's manufacturing revitalization plans from the Biden administration's policies, which he argues have led to a downturn in U.S. manufacturing.

Fox News: Service members who refused the COVID 'jab' would get their jobs back and back pay, too, under new GOP bill
Republican lawmakers are introducing the AMERICANS Act to reinstate service members discharged over the military's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The legislation would provide back pay, restore ranks, and allow those who choose not to return to receive honorable discharges for benefits.
The act also prohibits the Pentagon from imposing further vaccine mandates without congressional approval. This move follows the rescinding of the mandate in January 2023, which had led to over 8,400 separations. Critics argue the mandate harmed military morale and recruitment.

Forbes: More Women And Young People Are Getting Cancer Than Before, New Report Shows
A new American Cancer Society study reveals that cancer rates are increasingly affecting women and younger individuals in the U.S. For the first time, women aged 50 to 64 have higher cancer rates than men. Rates for women under 50 have surged, now 82% higher than men, largely due to breast and thyroid cancers.
While cancer diagnoses in older adults are declining, younger populations, particularly those under 50 and adolescents aged 15 to 19, are seeing increases. Mortality rates for both groups have significantly decreased, but disparities exist among racial groups, with Native Americans and Black individuals facing higher cancer rates and mortality.
