The Federalist: Here's Your Guide To Lawsuits Against Trump's Funding Freezes
The Federalist's recent article outlines various lawsuits against the Trump Administration regarding its executive orders that froze or terminated federal funding. These legal challenges come from multiple states and organizations, alleging violations of constitutional and administrative laws, particularly the Administrative Procedure Act and the Impoundment Control Act.

Office of Management and Budget, which similarly halted blanket funding pauses. The Trump Administration argues these lawsuits lack jurisdiction and claims of final agency action.

Le Monde: Russian assets: Negotiating leverage EU would be wrong to ignore
The debate on seizing frozen Russian assets in Europe has intensified amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. A proposed resolution by the Assemblée Nationale aims to bolster support for Ukraine, with the U.S. shifting its strategy towards using aid as leverage for peace talks, prompting European nations to explore using Russian funds.
While legal concerns about the seizure of assets exist, the EU faces pressure to act decisively given Russia's violations of international law. Some argue that seizing these assets could provide leverage in negotiations with Moscow, emphasizing the need for Europe to balance legal principles with geopolitical interests.
Forbes: Ukraine Ceasefire Talks: Trump Envoy Flies To Moscow As Russian Offensive Continues
Steve Witkoff, President Trump's special envoy, arrived in Moscow to discuss a U.S.-brokered 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, which Ukraine has accepted. Russian officials indicated that formal discussions have not yet started, and Russia's military aims to recapture territories lost to Ukraine.
Russian President Putin emphasized military efforts to regain lost ground, while the Kremlin expressed skepticism about the ceasefire's feasibility. A joint U.S.-Ukrainian statement indicated readiness for an immediate ceasefire, pending Russian agreement.
Le Monde: Kyiv appears to be withdrawing from Russia's Kursk region under pressure from Washington
Russian forces have taken control of Sudzha, a key town in the Kursk region, amid a Ukrainian withdrawal. This area, previously held by Ukrainian forces for seven months, faced pressure from a significantly larger Russian military. The recent reduction in U.S. military intelligence support has impacted Ukrainian defenses.
The situation raises questions about whether the Ukrainian withdrawal was a condition for U.S.-led ceasefire negotiations with Russia. The lack of intense fighting and significant Ukrainian resistance in recent days contrasts with their historical defensive efforts during the ongoing conflict.

Fox News: 'Never forgotten': More military families could soon qualify for this special benefit
A new proposal, the "Benefits that Endure for Lifetimes of Service (BELO'S) Act," aims to expand lifetime National Park passes to Gold Star families and service members who died from service-related issues. Currently, these passes are available to Gold Star families, veterans, and individuals with permanent disabilities.
The bill, named after First Sergeant Marc Belo, who died from cancer linked to his military service, is sponsored by Rep. Gabe Evans and co-sponsored by Rep. Jimmy Panetta. It seeks to modify eligibility criteria under the Federal Land Recreation Enhancement Act to include a broader range of circumstances for qualifying families.

The Federalist: U.S. Christianity's Decline Might Have Stalled. Will It Reverse?
Recent Pew Research indicates that the percentage of American adults identifying as Christians has stabilized at 62-63%, countering narratives of a decline. While many Christians may not adhere strictly to biblical teachings, there is a shift towards deeper faith among those who do.
The report suggests a potential turning point in American Christianity, with fewer individuals identifying as "nones." As churches that align more closely with biblical truths thrive, there is cautious optimism that American Christianity may be evolving rather than dying.
