The Supreme Court will hear a case on the constitutionality of the Mandatory Repatriation Tax (MRT), part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Conservative constitutionalists argue that if the MRT is found to violate the 16th Amendment, it could prevent Congress from enacting wealth tax legislation. Liberal groups worry that invalidating the tax law could destabilize the tax system and exacerbate economic and racial inequalities. The case could have significant implications for future wealth tax proposals and the federal government's power to tax. (, )

The Telegraph: I knew the Iron Lady – Starmer is no Thatcher
Labour Party leader, Sir Keir Starmer, has faced backlash from the Labour Left for his praise of Margaret Thatcher's entrepreneurialism. However, it is unlikely that Sir Keir truly understands natural entrepreneurialism. He aligns himself with Blairite politics and aims to follow in the footsteps of successful post-war leaders. This stance distances him from past Labour leaders who either dismissed or despised Thatcher, with Tony Blair being the only one who studied her and learned from her achievements.
In Ukraine, there is concern among charity workers due to new border rules for humanitarian cargo. The rules require declaration of the military unit that will receive vehicles for repurposing as field ambulances. The system is ineffective, resulting in long queues and delays, exacerbated by a Polish hauliers' strike. Confusion arises regarding the importation of right-hand drive vehicles, despite their explicit permission under martial law. There is a fear that corrupt practices may co-opt vehicles for personal use, potentially leaving wounded individuals without necessary aid. Urgent action is needed to rectify this situation.

GB News: UK military at risk as MoD facing £16.9bn shortfall in equipment budget - ‘Black hole’
The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) is facing a massive budget deficit of £16.9 billion, which could rise to £29.8 billion, according to the National Audit Office (NAO). The MoD admits that its equipment plan is unaffordable and deferring spending choices would have long-term consequences. Inflation has contributed to the increased costs. The NAO report is criticized by the MoD as a "dated snapshot" and does not reflect the current or future state of the Armed Forces Equipment Plan. The report does not include the cost of projects outlined in the 2021 review. Meanwhile, one of the UK's advanced nuclear submarines, HMS Audacious, is stranded in port awaiting repairs, posing a serious risk to national security. There have been times this year when none of the Royal Navy's attack submarines have been at sea.
