Breitbart: EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Chip Roy Introduces Bill to Protect Veterans' 2A Rights

The legislation aims to protect the rights of veterans, particularly those with PTSD, arguing that stripping their gun rights exacerbates feelings of defenselessness and may contribute to increased suicide rates. Roy emphasizes that veterans should not fear losing their liberties when seeking medical care.

Front Page Magazine: Sixth Wave Feminism
Feminism has evolved through various waves, with first wave feminism achieving significant rights like voting. Subsequent waves, however, have increasingly politicized the movement, leading to divisions among women and a shift towards radical leftist ideologies that undermine individual identities and choices.
The critique argues that feminism should liberate women from political constraints rather than impose new ideological definitions. A potential sixth wave should focus on individualism and personal choice, returning to the foundational ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, rather than conforming to collectivist ideologies.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff stated that Gaza will be "uninhabitable" for 10 to 15 years amid ongoing reconstruction discussions and a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. He emphasized the need for improved living conditions and opportunities for Palestinians.

Times Of Israel: Countering Trump, Saudi Arabia says no Israel normalization without Palestinian state
Saudi Arabia has reaffirmed its position against normalizing relations with Israel until a Palestinian state is established, emphasizing the importance of pre-1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital. This statement comes amid ongoing discussions about potential diplomatic ties, which have been complicated by recent conflicts.
US President Trump suggested that Saudi Arabia does not require a Palestinian state as a precondition for peace, but analysts believe Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is more flexible privately. Meanwhile, Palestinian officials reject Trump's proposals for resettlement, insisting on their right to remain in Gaza.
Breitbart: Witkoff: Full Gaza Rebuild Can't Begin for at Least a Decade, Can't Be Finished Until at Least 15 Years from Now

Witkoff also highlighted the challenge of governance in Gaza, noting that Israel will not allow Hamas to rebuild or govern the area. He criticized the idea of a five-year reconstruction plan as unrealistic and stressed that any governing body must not include terrorist organizations like Hamas.

Le Monde: US Postal Service suspends parcel service from China and Hong Kong
The USPS has temporarily suspended inbound parcels from China and Hong Kong following President Trump's new tariffs on Chinese imports. This suspension will remain in effect "until further notice" and affects low-value packages that previously qualified for a duty-free exemption.
The move is part of a broader effort by the U.S. to tighten regulations on imports amid concerns over security risks and the surge in shipments from Chinese retailers. This halt could impact various retailers, including Shein and Temu.
