Breitbart: Migrants Come to Massachusetts in Droves While Residents Flee High Taxes, Cost of Living
A Massachusetts think tank reports that while the state gained 69,000 residents, it lost 27,480 domestic residents, offset by an influx of over 90,000 international migrants, many of whom are illegal. Experts warn this trend does not address the out-migration of wealthier, younger residents.
Tax policy and high living costs are driving former residents to relocate, with many citing improved quality of life elsewhere. The report highlights that the influx of low-skilled migrants does not resolve the underlying issues of economic decline and talent loss in Massachusetts.

Fox News: Trump performs jiu-jitsu flip on judge’s order, sends Guantanamo rejects back to Venezuela
The Trump administration deported three Venezuelan illegal immigrants back to Venezuela after a judge blocked their transfer to Guantánamo Bay. U.S. District Judge Kenneth J. Gonzales had issued a temporary restraining order against the transfer, citing concerns about their treatment.
The deportation aligns with the administration's broader strategy to address illegal immigration, including the recent Laken Riley Act, which enhances deportation powers for immigrants accused of crimes. The administration asserts that those deported are dangerous, a claim contested by immigration advocates.

Breitbart: White House Restricts AP Access for 'Misinformation' on Gulf of America
The White House has indefinitely barred the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One, citing the outlet's refusal to recognize the "Gulf of America" as the official name. White House officials criticized the AP for what they termed a commitment to misinformation.
In response, the AP claims this action infringes on its First Amendment rights, but the White House argues that access to these spaces is a privilege, not a right. The AP will still retain credentials for the White House complex, while other reporters may gain access to the previously restricted areas.

German officials, including Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and Chancellor Olaf Scholz, rebuffed Vance's comments, defending the firewall against extremist parties and emphasizing that democracy must protect itself from threats.

Fox News: Weight-loss, diabetes drugs linked to vision problems in small study
A small study from the University of British Columbia suggests that glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, commonly used for type 2 diabetes and weight loss, may be linked to vision problems. Nine patients experienced various ophthalmic complications, including nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
Experts caution that the study's limited scope necessitates further research, particularly large, controlled trials. Patients are advised to consult healthcare professionals about the risks and benefits of GLP-1 medications, especially if they have pre-existing vision issues.
