The Federalist: Trump EO Still Allows Foreigners To Buy Citizenship Via Surrogacy
President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship specifies that children of non-U.S. citizens unlawfully in the U.S. are not automatically eligible for citizenship. However, the definition of "mother" as the biological progenitor creates a loophole that foreign nationals, particularly from China, may exploit through surrogacy and IVF.
This loophole could allow children born to American surrogates to claim U.S. citizenship, even if their parents are foreign nationals. Surrogacy agencies are already adapting to this by offering processes to ensure citizenship for these children, highlighting a growing trend where foreign nationals seek American citizenship for their offspring through commercial surrogacy.

The Western Journal: Trump Has Short, Sobering Quote Before Signing Executive Orders in Wake of DC Air Collision
President Trump faces a significant crisis following a mid-air collision near Reagan National Airport that resulted in 67 fatalities. The incident has raised concerns about air traffic control staffing, particularly the reliance on a single controller for both helicopter and runway operations. Critics have pointed to the previous administration's diversity hiring policies as potentially compromising safety.
In response, Trump signed an executive order aimed at prioritizing competence over diversity in FAA hiring practices. He emphasized the need for qualified personnel in critical safety positions, asserting that safety should be the primary criterion for hiring rather than diversity metrics. The administration is now tasked with assessing the impact of past policies on aviation safety.
The Telegraph: The released Palestinian prisoners are not hostages – they are terrorists
The release of Israeli hostages by Hamas has turned into a grotesque propaganda spectacle, with the terrorists manipulating the situation for their own ends. Recent releases featured hostages paraded in army uniforms, forced to thank their captors, while the media's portrayal of the situation has blurred the lines between victims and perpetrators.
The false equivalence drawn by some news organizations between Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners distorts the narrative, as many of those set for release are convicted terrorists. This disparity highlights the different values placed on life by Israel and Hamas, further complicating the already painful ordeal for the hostages and their families.

GB News: Parking row erupts as homeowners charged £1,400 for parking on OWN property - 'Drives me to despair!'
Homeowners in Halewood, Merseyside, are facing steep parking fees, with charges rising to £1,400 annually for spaces that come with their freehold properties. Residents claim these fees have quadrupled from an initial £300, with many questioning the transparency of the costs associated with maintenance and services.
FirstPort, the property management company, defends the charges, stating they manage the area as a single development. They attribute recent fee increases to higher insurance costs but acknowledge some errors in billing. The company promises to rectify these issues and reduce charges in the upcoming service charge invoice.
The Federalist: Dear Management, Are You Racist For Ditching DEI?
A federal employee expresses confusion over a sudden shift in management's stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Previously emphasized as crucial to the organization's mission, DEI is now being eliminated from hiring and promotion criteria following a new executive order.
The employee questions whether leadership's change reflects a genuine shift in belief or fear of repercussions. They express concern that compliance with the new directives could portray leadership as hypocritical, given their prior strong advocacy for DEI as a matter of social justice.

The LMI Group International has released a report supporting the painting's authenticity, noting van Gogh's history of losing and giving away works. Final confirmation is pending approval from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

The Federalist: Trump's Educational Freedom Order Extends School Choice Week
President Trump has signed an executive order to prioritize school choice programs, reversing the previous administration's stance. Currently, about a dozen states offer universal school choice, benefiting over a million students. National School Choice Week aims to inform parents about K-12 options.
Despite opposition from teachers’ unions and special interests in states like Kentucky and South Carolina, advocates continue to fight for educational reforms. The Supreme Court will soon hear a case that could impact religious organizations' access to charter school designations. The goal is to unite bipartisan support for school choice.
