Fox News: Biden-era Coast Guard failed to ‘consistently’ stop drug smugglers: watchdog
A new report from the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General reveals the U.S. Coast Guard struggled to effectively combat drug smuggling during the Biden administration. Over a three-year period, Coast Guard cutters were unavailable for 2,058 days, impacting cocaine interdiction efforts.
The report highlights that many cutters were reassigned to migrant interdiction, leading to fewer resources available for drug enforcement. It also notes issues with deferred maintenance and inadequate funding, which further reduced cutter availability. The Coast Guard intercepted 421 metric tons of cocaine, falling short of its target, and acknowledged the need for improved data accuracy and a contingency plan.

GB News: Reform UK urged to make ‘political point’ as Mike Amesbury swerves jail time
Reform UK may have a strong chance of winning in Mike Amesbury's constituency following his suspended prison sentence for assault. Political commentator James Heale noted the party's quick response to the incident, suggesting they capitalize on Amesbury's conviction to gain support.
Amesbury, an independent MP after being suspended from Labour, was convicted for assaulting Paul Fellows. Despite Labour's previous majority in the area, current polling indicates Reform's potential to challenge, especially if a recall petition leads to a by-election.
CNSNews: Rep. Ogles Provides ‘Impeachathon Update’ Exposing Rogue, Anti-Trump Judges
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has initiated articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, following a Supreme Court ruling that blocked Ali's efforts to limit President Trump's executive orders. Ogles claims this is part of a broader pattern of judicial overreach by "rogue judges."
Additionally, Ogles has also filed impeachment articles against Judge John Bates for blocking Trump's order related to "gender-affirming care," and Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) has filed against Judge Paul Engelmayer for obstructing scrutiny of Treasury Department records. Both argue these actions threaten executive authority.
Fox News: Gabbard says Biden admin ignored 'highly inappropriate' chats happening at national security agencies
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revealed that the Biden administration ignored reports of inappropriate sexual discussions on internal messaging boards within intelligence agencies for years. Whistleblowers reported these issues, but were told to step aside, leading to over 100 personnel being terminated after Gabbard took action.
Gabbard attributed the creation of these chatrooms to the administration's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. She noted that the termination of DEI initiatives saved taxpayers nearly $20 million. The NSA is currently investigating the misuse of internal messaging boards related to these discussions.

On The Water: Oppose the "No Stocking" Proposal for the Upper Deerfield River
The Massachusetts Fisheries and Wildlife Board is considering a proposal to stop stocking rainbow trout in the upper Deerfield River, driven by a group advocating for the preservation of wild trout. They argue this would create a self-sustaining fishery, citing successes in Montana rivers.
However, critics, including local anglers, contend that the Deerfield's unique conditions and limited cold-water resources do not support such a drastic change. They emphasize the importance of continuing stocking to maintain fishing opportunities and local economic benefits until scientific data indicates a need for transition.
