The Federalist: Congress Should Immediately Ban Zuckbucks Across The Nation
Republicans are urged to leverage their federal control to prevent oligarchs from influencing elections through private funding, as seen with Mark Zuckerberg's $420 million contributions in 2020. The proposed American Confidence in Elections (ACE) Act of 2023 aims to ban such funding and implement election integrity measures.
The act seeks to eliminate the potential for partisan bias and distrust in elections caused by private donations, which can skew voter turnout in favor of certain demographics. Advocates argue that passing the ACE Act is essential to safeguarding democracy and ensuring elections are not influenced by wealthy individuals or organizations.

The study reveals a shared belief among these women that motherhood is a deeply fulfilling and purposeful choice, often rooted in faith and community values.
Pakaluk argues that the declining birth rates in modern society reflect trade-offs women make between children and other pursuits. She contends that understanding the perspectives of these mothers is vital for shaping policies related to demographics and family life.

Le Monde: Syria's new government negotiates the disbanding of armed groups
Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is prioritizing the establishment of national armed forces following his rise to power on December 8. He is negotiating with various armed factions to integrate them into the state’s Ministry of Defense, aiming for a unified military structure.
However, the agreement does not include the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, complicating disarmament efforts. Turkey-backed factions within the Syrian National Army remain hesitant to disarm while engaged in conflict with Kurdish forces. The presence of foreign jihadists also poses challenges.
