Fox News: 'Musk derangement syndrome': Environmental group founder says Tesla protests revealing left's 'true colors'
Michael Shellenberger criticized Democrats for opposing Tesla, a major player in climate technology, calling it a sign of "Musk derangement syndrome." He argued that their protests against Tesla dealerships reveal hypocrisy, as they advocate for policies that contradict climate goals.

Fox News: Gavin Newsom responds to claims he secretly helped fund his own bronze bust: 'Free tinfoil hat'
California Governor Gavin Newsom has denied allegations that he secretly funded a $100,000 bronze bust of himself in San Francisco City Hall, calling the claims "categorically false." His office stated that the bust was proposed by a nonprofit and funded by private donors, not taxpayers.
The controversy stems from a new book that suggests Newsom used "behested payments" to support the initiative. Newsom's office criticized the book's authors for inaccuracies and emphasized that the funding was publicly reported at the time. Public reaction has been largely negative, with many criticizing the bust as a vanity project.

Le Monde: The 'war economy' in France, from concept to reality
Emmanuel Macron emphasizes the need for France to adopt a "war economy," focusing on sovereignty, relocalization, and mass production in response to crises like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine conflict. This approach aims to prepare the economy for potential future crises rather than engage in active warfare.
