The Telegraph: A missed opportunity in Washington DC

Fox News: 'Structural racism': Top taxpayer-funded academy rife with DEI programs, hefty executive salaries
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) received over $200 million in taxpayer funding in 2023, with top salaries exceeding $1 million for its leaders. The organization has been criticized for promoting liberal initiatives, including workshops on climate change and structural racism.

Former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has been charged with exceeding his authority by attempting to conduct the 2020 presidential election solely via postal votes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Morawiecki, who left office in late 2023, argues he was fulfilling his constitutional duty amid a global crisis and claims political persecution by the current government. The situation has drawn public support for Morawiecki, while the new administration seeks accountability from the previous conservative government.

The Federalist: Watchdog Files Complaint Over Judge Demanding Gender Quotas
A conservative judicial watchdog has filed a complaint against Florida federal judge M. Casey Rodgers for suggesting that gender should influence the selection of leadership counsel in multi-district litigation concerning an injectable birth control. The Article III Project claims her comments exhibit bias and violate judicial impartiality.
The complaint argues that prioritizing female attorneys for leadership roles based on gender rather than qualifications undermines the principle of equal treatment in legal proceedings. This follows previous actions by the A3P against other judges for perceived misconduct.
