The Federalist: Democrats' Beef Isn't With Executive Power, It's With Trump Voters
Democrats' criticism of President Trump's executive actions is inconsistent with their own history of expanding presidential power. Past Democratic presidents have utilized similar or greater measures, often justifying them to advance their political goals, despite historical precedents of overreach.
The current Democratic strategy involves using the courts to counter Trump's policies. Their opposition appears less about the expansion of executive power and more about the rejection of the voters' choice in the last election, which contradicted their vision for America.

The Western Journal: Old PETA Post Goes Viral After Social Media Notices How Ridiculous It - And Organization - Is
A PETA post from June 2023 has gone viral, questioning whether people would eat a Tyrannosaurus rex and suggesting that if they wouldn't, they shouldn't eat chicken. Critics find the logic absurd, arguing that T. rex and modern birds are vastly different, and many express a willingness to eat a T. rex if given the chance.
The post highlights PETA's ongoing struggle to persuade the public against meat consumption, with many users mocking the organization's approach. The commentary suggests that PETA's messaging may be counterproductive, as it often leads to ridicule rather than a shift in dietary habits.
The Federalist: SCOTUS Needs To Reevaluate Problem It Created In Obergefell
The Idaho House passed a memo urging the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse its 2015 decision on gay marriage, Obergefell v. Hodges, claiming it redefined marriage against its natural definition. The memo, which passed 46-24, will move to the Senate for consideration.
Supporters argue that Obergefell's ruling undermines religious beliefs and state laws, while linking the same-sex marriage issue to the rise of transgender discussions. The memo reflects a growing sentiment that the Supreme Court may be open to reconsidering Obergefell, similar to its recent actions on Roe v. Wade.

Fox News: Trevor Noah asks Princeton professor if integration was 'the right move'
Trevor Noah questioned the effectiveness of integration in the U.S. during a podcast, asking Princeton professor Ruha Benjamin if it was the right move. Benjamin disagreed, arguing that integration into a supremacist culture may not be beneficial, and suggested exploring alternative forms of social connection.
Noah emphasized the comfort and implicit trust found in all-Black environments, contrasting this with Finland's homogenous society, which he cited as a model for successful education. Benjamin advocated for rethinking national identity to foster inclusivity and solidarity.
The Federalist: Sex Isn't A Bad Word, But 'Gender' Is
A trend among social media users, particularly on TikTok, is to replace the word "sex" with terms like "seggs" due to content moderation policies. This shift highlights a broader issue where "sex" is often confused with "gender," leading to misunderstandings that can undermine women's rights.
The conflation of "sex" and "gender" has enabled radical gender ideology, allowing individuals to claim identities that do not align with biological sex. Legal discussions, such as those in U.S. v. Skrmetti, emphasize the importance of distinguishing between immutable traits and socially constructed identities, which is crucial for protecting women's rights.

The Telegraph: Watch: Chinese navy helicopter flies ‘dangerously’ close to Philippine plane
China's navy has faced condemnation for a "dangerous" encounter where a helicopter flew within 10 feet of a Philippine coastguard plane over the contested Scarborough Shoal. The incident endangered lives as the Philippine aircraft was monitoring Chinese vessels in the area.
This marks the first recorded instance of a Chinese navy helicopter engaging a Philippine patrol plane in such a reckless manner, despite an international ruling that negates China's claims over the South China Sea.
Times Of Israel: UAE tells Rubio it rejects displacement of Palestinians from Gaza
UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan expressed strong opposition to the displacement of Palestinians during a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Arab leaders are set to discuss alternatives to Trump's controversial Gaza plan, which has faced widespread criticism. Rubio's Middle East tour included discussions on this plan and support for Israel's actions in Gaza.
