The Federalist: Trump Doesn't Need Maduro's Cooperation To Deport Venezuelans
The agreement between the Trump administration and Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro regarding the deportation of Venezuelans is faltering, as Maduro is upset over U.S. sanctions and the limited number of deportees accepted. Many Venezuelans who crossed into the U.S. illegally had been living comfortably in other countries for years before seeking asylum in the U.S. under false pretenses.
The Trump administration could easily send these migrants back to the countries where they had previously resided, alleviating legal challenges and accusations of endangering them by returning them to Venezuela. Other Latin American countries are willing to accept deportees, making the agreement with Maduro unnecessary.

The Federalist: GOP’s Medicare Raid Proposal Stems From Spending Addiction
House Republican leaders have proposed a continuing resolution that slightly reduces spending but still reflects Congress's persistent overspending habits.

Despite some positive elements, the legislation underscores a lack of commitment to addressing the federal government's significant financial issues. With spending projected to outpace revenue, the bill's reliance on Medicare cuts indicates a failure to confront the broader spending crisis, leaving American families vulnerable to future fiscal repercussions.
