Fox News: DOGE, EPA team up to claw back $67 million in 'environmental justice' grants
The EPA is collaborating with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to retract $67.4 million in environmental grants from the Biden administration, originally totaling $77.1 million. This includes cutting funding for initiatives aimed at environmental justice.
One notable recipient, the San Diego State University Foundation, will lose $4.2 million intended for tribal and indigenous communities. Critics, including Rep. Nancy Mace, have condemned the Biden administration's handling of these funds.
Fox News: DOGE cuts, Medicaid fears spark protests at GOP lawmaker offices across US
Several House Republicans faced protests during the recent recess, driven by progressive groups opposing GOP government spending strategies, particularly concerning Medicaid cuts and initiatives linked to Elon Musk. Demonstrators expressed concerns over potential federal spending reductions and the implications for personal data security.
Lawmakers including Reps. David Schweikert, Ken Calvert, and Scott Perry were confronted by constituents advocating against Medicaid cuts. The protests were part of a broader campaign by groups like Indivisible, aiming to hold Republicans accountable for their fiscal policies and alignment with Trump’s agenda.
The Western Journal: Trump's Reported Plan for the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building Sparks Democratic Ire
President Trump is reportedly planning to sell the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building in San Francisco, along with another federal property, to cut maintenance costs. This move has drawn criticism from California Democrats, who claim it is a retaliatory action against political rivals.
Democrats argue the sales are illogical and could lead to increased costs in leasing and property taxes. Trump's administration aims to reduce the size of the federal government and its associated expenses, while the Presidio Trust maintains it operates independently of federal funding.

GB News: US President Donald Trump signed an executive order prompting the The Bureau of Prisons to change their policies
US prisons are preparing to implement a policy that would transfer transgender inmates to facilities corresponding to their sex at birth, affecting both transgender women and men regardless of surgery status. This change follows an executive order from former President Trump and has sparked a lawsuit from affected inmates.
The legal challenge argues that the transfers could expose transgender individuals to a heightened risk of assault, particularly for those previously victimized in male facilities. Concerns also extend to the potential withdrawal from hormone treatments for transgender inmates.

Times Of Israel: In talks aimed at mending ties with EU, Sa’ar says Israel open to extending Gaza truce
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar stated that Israel is willing to extend the ceasefire in Gaza if more hostages are released by Hamas. He emphasized the importance of the hostages' release and reiterated Israel's commitment to eliminating Hamas's military capabilities and ensuring Gaza does not pose a threat.
During meetings with EU counterparts in Brussels, Sa’ar discussed the humanitarian situation in Gaza and Israeli-Palestinian relations. He called for constructive dialogue and addressed concerns about the Palestinian Authority's education system inciting violence against Israel. Sa’ar also urged the EU to enforce sanctions on Iran.
Times Of Israel: Israel said to offer to free prisoners if Hamas returns 4 bodies Monday without ceremony
Israel has indicated it will release 602 security prisoners if Hamas returns the bodies of four hostages. The situation is complicated by demands that Hamas refrain from public ceremonies during such exchanges, following backlash over previous handling of hostage releases.
Negotiations are ongoing, with Hamas insisting on the release of prisoners before returning the dead hostages. The ceasefire agreement, which has halted fighting since October, involves a phased release of hostages and prisoners, but tensions remain high as both sides negotiate terms.

Dr. Joël Le Scouarnec, a former surgeon, is on trial for the rape or aggravated sexual assault of 299 young victims, most aged 11. Despite his admissions, the trial will highlight the failures of French institutions in protecting children during his tenure at a now-defunct clinic.

On The Water: Wild Brown Trout on the Deerfield River
The Deerfield River in central New England offers a wild trout fishery, accessible to anglers. Despite challenging terrain and initial frustration, the pursuit of wild brown trout proves rewarding, with a recent study showing 80% of the trout population is wild, leading to the cessation of hatchery stocking.
The river's unique hydrology, influenced by hydroelectric dams, creates favorable conditions for trout. Anglers are encouraged to utilize various fly techniques, focusing on nymphing and dry fly strategies, while practicing safe catch and release. The Deerfield River remains a prime destination for fishing enthusiasts.
