The Western Journal: Senate Democrats Self-Destructing After Schumer Catches Them Off Guard by Caving to House Republicans
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer surprised Democrats by supporting a Republican-backed continuing resolution to prevent a government shutdown, leading to backlash from his party. Discontented senators criticized his decision, fearing it would empower Trump and his agenda.
Despite Schumer's rationale that a shutdown would benefit Trump, some Democrats, particularly from swing states, opposed the resolution, aligning with the more extreme elements of their party.

Breitbart: Congressman Claims MLB Canceled Trevor Bauer Due to Trump Support
Rep. Eric Burlison criticized Major League Baseball for its treatment of pitcher Trevor Bauer, claiming he was unfairly punished due to his support for Donald Trump. Despite a lengthy suspension for domestic violence allegations that were ultimately dismissed, Burlison argues that Bauer's political views influenced MLB's decision.
Bauer, who has not faced any criminal charges, has been sidelined from U.S. pro baseball for four years, while others have returned after serious incidents. Burlison suggests that MLB's actions reflect a bias against Bauer's political stance rather than the allegations themselves.
Fox News: ICE arrests another Columbia University student who participated in pro-Palestinian protests
ICE has arrested a second Columbia University student, Leqaa Kordia, for participating in pro-Palestinian protests, following a third student who self-deported. Kordia's visa was canceled in 2022 for lack of attendance. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized that advocating for violence justifies visa revocation.
The arrests have sparked backlash from students, faculty, and the ACLU, which argues that deportation based on political views violates the First Amendment. The Trump administration has taken a strong stance against such protests, linking them to federal funding cuts for the university.

Fox News: The left thinks Trump's tariffs are a declaration of war. But they're clueless about the battlefield
President Trump’s tariff strategy is framed as a defensive measure against long-standing economic attacks from other countries, particularly Canada, which imposes high tariffs and non-tariff barriers on U.S. exports. The article argues that the U.S. is not the aggressor but is responding to unfair trade practices that hinder American competitiveness.
The piece emphasizes that many trading partners, including the EU and India, impose significantly higher tariffs on U.S. goods compared to what the U.S. charges them. It asserts that reciprocal tariffs are necessary to protect American workers and industries and that the U.S. has the leverage in negotiations due to its market size.

The Telegraph: Chinese ‘invasion barges’ spotted on drills
Chinese naval exercises in the South China Sea have showcased "D-Day style" barges, which may play a crucial role in a potential invasion of Taiwan. These Shuiqiao barges feature long, retractable bridges designed to facilitate rapid unloading of military equipment and troops.
The design appears inspired by the Mulberry harbors used during the Normandy landings in 1944, potentially allowing Chinese forces to circumvent beach defenses and access previously unsuitable landing sites.
