Fox News: Newsom asks for nearly another $3B for state health program overwhelmed by illegal immigrants
California Governor Gavin Newsom is seeking an additional $2.8 billion loan to address a significant deficit in the state's Medicaid program, exacerbated by costs associated with coverage for illegal immigrants. This follows a previous request for $3.4 billion to cover outstanding Medi-Cal costs, with the total deficit now reaching $6.2 billion.
While Newsom's office attributes rising costs to overall enrollment and pharmaceutical expenses, Republican lawmakers argue that state policies regarding illegal immigrant coverage are to blame. The budget for covering illegal immigrants in Medi-Cal is projected to reach $8.4 billion for 2024-2025, indicating a substantial underestimation of enrollees.

GB News: Pothole crisis reaches boiling point as road repair costs soar to £17billion - 'Drivers pay the price'

The Federalist: Veterans Affairs Ends Distribution Of Chemical Castration Drugs
The Department of Veterans Affairs will phase out chemical castration drugs for trans-identifying veterans, stating that those wishing to change their sex must do so at their own expense. The VA will no longer provide cross-sex hormone therapy, except for veterans already receiving it under specific conditions.
The decision aligns with a directive from President Trump emphasizing the recognition of only two sexes. The VA aims to redirect savings from these services to aid severely injured veterans, citing a lack of reliable data on the number of trans veterans and related expenditures.

At least 330 people have died in Gaza due to Israeli strikes, marking the highest casualties since a truce began on January 19. Negotiations for a second phase of the ceasefire are stalled, with Israel citing Hamas's refusal to release hostages as a key issue.

The Telegraph: On Ukraine Trump sees the world as it is rather than what we would like it to be
Sir Keir Starmer's efforts to establish an international peacekeeping force for Ukraine face significant challenges, as there is little chance of convincing Vladimir Putin to accept European troops. The U.S. has been the primary military supporter of Ukraine, while European leaders are hesitant to commit troops on the ground.
Moreover, any peacekeeping force would require American backing, which risks entangling the U.S. in a conflict that many European nations are reluctant to join. With negotiations between Trump and Putin underway, the prospect of a peacekeeping force remains uncertain, as any agreement will ultimately depend on Putin's terms.

Fox News: Bipartisan bill seeks to stop pharmacy middlemen from driving up drug costs for financial gain
A bipartisan group of lawmakers, led by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, has introduced the "Delinking Revenue from Unfair Gouging (DRUG) Act" to reform Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). The bill aims to eliminate PBMs' incentive to promote higher-priced drugs by requiring them to charge a flat fee for their services.
The sponsors argue that the current PBM practices contribute to rising drug costs and pharmacy closures, disproportionately affecting low-income individuals and those with chronic illnesses. The DRUG Act seeks to enhance transparency and prioritize patient needs over profits.
