Chairwoman Marjorie Taylor Greene emphasized a bipartisan effort to combat waste, while Democrats criticized the Trump-Musk initiative and highlighted the need for oversight.

The Federalist: Rick Warren's Bell-Curve View Of Jesus Is Terrible Theology
Rick Warren's recent interpretation of Jesus's crucifixion as a call for political centrism has drawn criticism for misusing Scripture. He suggests that Jesus was positioned between two thieves to advocate for a middle ground in political discourse, which overlooks the deeper biblical message of good versus evil.
The argument posits that true Christian engagement requires standing firmly for truth rather than seeking compromise. The church should focus on condemning evil and advocating for righteousness in political matters, rather than promoting a false sense of unity through moderation.

The Telegraph: Retrial for South Korean woman 60 years after biting off alleged rapist’s tongue
A South Korean woman, Choi, has been granted a retrial over 60 years after being convicted of grievous bodily harm for biting off part of a man's tongue during an alleged rape attempt. The high court recognized her appeal, highlighting systemic failures in protecting sexual violence victims.
Choi's original trial in 1964 resulted in a suspended sentence, while her attacker received a lesser penalty. Her case reflects ongoing issues in how the legal system handles sexual violence, with parallels drawn to a more recent incident involving a similar defense. No date has been set for the new trial.

Times Of Israel: Regards from a dead partner: Relative relays ‘psychological terror’ faced by hostage
Gadi Mozes was held captive by Hamas for nearly 16 months after being abducted during the October 7, 2023 attack on Kibbutz Nir Oz. His experience included psychological torment, isolation, and the devastating news of his partner's murder, which his captors falsely relayed as a message of regard.
Since his release, Mozes has expressed feelings of abandonment and disappointment towards leadership, while also being motivated to advocate for the remaining hostages. A ceasefire agreement has been reached, but the situation remains precarious as Hamas has threatened to halt future hostage releases, complicating ongoing negotiations.

Ludwig emphasizes that government measures often misclassify employment and fail to account for the financial struggles of many citizens. He calls for a reevaluation of how economic indicators are interpreted by both parties to better reflect the true state of the economy.
