Fox News: States fire back against 'sanctuary' resistance as they rally around Trump's deportation efforts
Several states are collaborating with the Trump administration to enhance efforts in arresting and deporting illegal immigrants, particularly in response to "sanctuary" jurisdictions. Florida has implemented 287(g) agreements across all counties, allowing local law enforcement to assist ICE in immigration enforcement.
Other states, including Kansas and Oklahoma, are also entering into similar agreements to ensure that dangerous criminals are deported. These actions reflect a broader commitment among Republican-led states to support federal immigration policies and counteract sanctuary city practices.

The Federalist: No, Vivek, Ohioans Don't Want Our State To Be Silicon Valley
Ohio has solidified its status as a Republican stronghold, with no Democrat holding statewide office and GOP supermajorities in the legislature. Governor Mike DeWine's reelection in 2022 by over 25 points highlights this dominance, yet concerns arise about the lack of substantive governance and vision from the GOP.
Vivek Ramaswamy's recent gubernatorial announcement emphasized transforming Ohio into a tech hub, echoing familiar economic promises without addressing local realities. His outsider status and wealth raise questions about his commitment to Ohioans, while the Democrats struggle to present a competitive alternative.
Fox News: Trump budget bill extending first-term tax cuts survives House vote
The House of Representatives passed a resolution aimed at advancing President Trump's priorities on border security, defense, energy, and taxes, with a narrow 217 to 215 vote. All Democrats opposed the measure, alongside one Republican, as the House GOP navigates slim margins to push through a multi-trillion-dollar bill.
The resolution proposes $300 billion in increased spending while seeking $1.5 to $2 trillion in cuts, and it includes provisions to extend Trump's tax cuts. The next steps involve House committees drafting proposals to negotiate a compromise with the Senate.

Concerns have been raised about mass firings and buyouts among CIA personnel, particularly those involved in diversity initiatives. A judge has paused these firings amid lawsuits, while the agency continues to navigate staffing reductions as part of a broader federal effort.

The Telegraph: Defence boost ‘probably less than half of £13.4bn Starmer pledged’
The Defence Secretary has acknowledged that the government's planned defence spending increase will likely amount to less than half of the £13.4 billion figure cited by Sir Keir Starmer. Economists have labeled the £13.4 billion figure as misleading, estimating a more accurate increase of around £6 billion.
The decision to raise defence spending from 2.3% to 2.5% of GDP was influenced by calls for Europe to assume greater security responsibilities. The Defence Secretary emphasized that the £13.4 billion figure represents a cash increase, which, when adjusted for inflation, would yield a real-term boost of over £6 billion.

The evolving landscape of faith-based films is marked by a shift towards darker themes and more complex storytelling. While some recent releases have embraced edginess, "Homestead" struggles to balance its gritty premise with its optimistic conclusion, reflecting the genre's growing pains.
