The Federalist: WHCA Freakout Is About Losing Control, Not Press Freedom
The Trump administration's decision to control White House press access has sparked outrage among traditional media outlets, which argue it threatens a "free press." Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the White House will select reporters for close access, challenging the WHCA's previous gatekeeping role.
Critics from legacy media claim this undermines journalistic independence, despite their own past failures to maintain objectivity. The shift is seen as a blow to the established media's influence, with concerns that it disrupts their narrative control.

The Telegraph: There is a dangerous hole in Ukraine’s defences
Ukraine's reliance on U.S. military support is critical as it faces ongoing threats from Russia. With the U.S. reconsidering its commitments to NATO, European leaders, like UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, are urged to bolster defense spending to ensure security against potential Russian aggression.
The effectiveness of Ukraine's defense hinges on advanced U.S. weaponry, such as Patriot missiles and ATACMS. As the U.S. adopts a more isolationist stance, NATO must prepare for a future where it may need to operate independently, raising concerns about its readiness should Ukraine falter.

GB News: Petrol range-extenders for electric vehicles 'make sense' amid support for new car tax changes
Experts are advocating for major car brands to adopt petrol-powered range extenders (REx) to enhance electric vehicle (EV) adoption. These REx vehicles, which prioritize electric power but use an internal combustion engine to recharge the battery, address concerns over EV battery range.
Stellantis and Ford are among manufacturers developing REx models, with Stellantis recently unveiling a platform for large vehicles offering extended ranges. Leapmotor plans to introduce a petrol range extender option on its C10 model this year. Industry leaders suggest that government support for REx vehicles may require changes in taxation policies.
