Fox News: Comer probes NGOs that received $20B in Biden EPA grants despite almost no revenue: 'Shady deal'
House Oversight Chairman James Comer is broadening his investigation into the Biden administration's EPA, alleging that $20 billion in grants were improperly awarded to political allies. Comer has requested information from eight NGOs that received funds under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, claiming the grants were part of a scheme to benefit leftist environmental groups.
The grants, issued through the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, are under scrutiny for potential financial mismanagement and conflicts of interest. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin noted that one recipient, Power Forward Communities, reported minimal revenue prior to receiving a substantial grant. The EPA's acting inspector general and the FBI are also looking into the matter.
Breitbart: Israel Passes Controversial Judicial Reform, Adding Politicians to Selection of Judges
The Knesset passed a bill allowing elected politicians more influence in selecting judges, part of Prime Minister Netanyahu's judicial reforms aimed at addressing perceived left-wing bias in the judiciary. This move has sparked protests and public division, which some blame for Israel's failure to foresee the October 7 Hamas attack.
Netanyahu argues that the reforms enhance democracy by limiting judicial power. The government is also in conflict with the Attorney General over her authority and has recently dismissed key security officials, further intensifying political tensions.

Human Events: SOAD TABRIZI: Psychiatry’s bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, invents material to justify its existence
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) has long been regarded as the foundational text for mental health professionals. However, its development process raises significant concerns, as diagnoses are determined through majority votes by Task Force members with ties to pharmaceutical companies, rather than empirical research.
This reliance on subjective criteria has implications for how disorders are classified, including the evolution of terms like Gender Dysphoria. The DSM's lack of scientific rigor and biological validity highlights the challenges within psychiatry, as it often prioritizes political and cultural considerations over objective evidence.
Breitbart: California Has More EV Charging Ports than Gas Pumps, but Demand Struggles
California now has more electric vehicle (EV) charging stations than gas pumps, reflecting the growth of zero-emission vehicles. However, consumer demand remains low, raising doubts about Governor Gavin Newsom's goal to end gas-powered vehicle sales by 2035, especially with federal support waning.
Despite nearly doubling the number of accessible chargers since 2022, many drivers hesitate due to the high cost of EVs and concerns over charging availability. The shift away from gasoline vehicles faces challenges, particularly after the Trump administration revoked federal EV mandates.
Breitbart: Judge Asks Trump Admin Why Passports Do Not Recognize Trans Identity
A federal judge is questioning the Trump administration's policy of issuing U.S. passports only with male and female gender markers, following a lawsuit from transgender Americans. They argue the policy forces them to reveal their gender identity to border officials, risking violence.
The lawsuit seeks a preliminary injunction to allow the "X" designation on passports while the case is pending. The Trump administration's executive order mandates recognition of only two sexes, which has faced criticism from various civil rights groups.
