Fox News: DC federal workers in a 'panic' over novel experience of job insecurity with Trump cuts
Federal workers in Washington, D.C., are facing unprecedented job instability due to significant budget cuts and program terminations under President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency. This shift has led to layoffs and a pervasive sense of economic paranoia among those reliant on federal employment.
The changes have transformed the culture of the city, with many feeling a loss of security that has historically defined life in Washington.

Forbes: Here’s What To Know About Elon Musk’s DOGE: Democratic States Sue Trump Over Treasury Access
Nineteen Democratic state attorneys-general have filed a lawsuit against President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, claiming that granting access to the Treasury's payment systems to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) violates the law and risks personal data security. The lawsuit follows controversy surrounding DOGE staff, including the re-hiring of Marko Elez, who resigned after racist comments surfaced.
Musk's agency, DOGE, has been criticized for its access to sensitive government data, with Democrats expressing concerns over potential misuse and lack of oversight.

Breitbart: Catholic Relief Services Cuts Staff, Migration Efforts, as USAID Scandal Grows

Similarly, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) is also downsizing, with a 20% staff reduction attributed partly to mismanagement. While HIAS has faced scrutiny for its migrant assistance efforts, it continues to seek private funding to support its operations amid the federal funding freeze.

The Western Journal: Watch: Trump Makes Huge US Steel Announcement, Moment Recalls Workers Flooding Stage to Thank Him
President Trump announced that Japan's Nippon Steel will invest in U.S. Steel rather than pursue an acquisition. This decision follows previous concerns about foreign ownership of the iconic American company. Nippon's investment aims to enhance U.S. Steel's production capabilities.
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba confirmed the investment's mutual benefits, emphasizing improved quality products for both nations. This shift comes after significant opposition to the acquisition from unions and political figures, including Trump and Biden, who had previously blocked the deal.
GB News: WATCH: Labour minister sparks FURY by claiming inheritance tax is ‘actually very generous to farmers’ in fiery debate
A Labour Treasury Minister has faced backlash for stating that the party's new death duties on farmers are "very generous." The tax, introduced by Chancellor Reeves, imposes a 20% inheritance tax on assets over £1 million, affecting many cash-poor farmers who struggle to make profits.
Critics warn this policy could devastate British agriculture, as many farms are already operating at a loss. Farmers argue that while they may qualify for some tax relief, the high costs of running farms make it difficult to pay such taxes. Protests are planned in response to the government's stance on these tax changes.

Le Monde: In Argentina, the government targets a children's song written to pick up on sexual abuse
The Argentine children's song "Hay secretos" by Canticuénticos, which addresses themes of violence and abuse, has been removed from the educational platform Educ.ar. The Ministry of Human Capital stated the decision was made to focus on non-political content related to family and biological aspects.
This change comes as part of a broader educational policy, which emphasizes that discussions on sensitive topics should be left to families rather than state institutions. The song was previously used in schools to promote comprehensive sexual education.

Breitbart: NFL Rules Analyst Admits 'Iffy' Calls 'Seem' to Have Gone Chiefs Way, Denies Intent
Mike Pereira, former NFL officiating VP, addressed claims of referee favoritism towards the Kansas City Chiefs, calling the idea of intentional bias "ridiculous." He acknowledged data suggesting that close calls often favor the Chiefs but emphasized that officials make split-second decisions without bias.
Pereira noted that while fans' concerns are valid, there's no evidence of a league directive to favor the Chiefs. He suggested the NFL should recognize these perceptions instead of dismissing them outright.
