Forbes: Judge Eases Ban On DOGE Staffer Accessing Sensitive U.S. Treasury Data
A New York federal judge has ruled that a staffer from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can access sensitive U.S. Treasury information, provided he completes required training and submits a financial disclosure report. This follows a lawsuit from 19 Democratic state attorneys general aimed at blocking such access due to concerns over potential misuse of personal data.
The lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, argued that DOGE's access could lead to unconstitutional actions affecting essential funding for Americans. Critics, including several congressional Democrats, voiced fears that the access could enable politically motivated interference with federal payment systems.

UK lawmakers held a rare Saturday session to pass emergency legislation aimed at saving British Steel from closure. Speaker Lindsay Hoyle intervened to maintain order as Shadow Chancellor Alex Burghart criticized the Labour Government amid jeers from Labour MPs.

The Western Journal: Service Members Separated for Rejecting COVID Vaccine Can Be Reinstated, But a Catch Has Many Refusing
Service members separated for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine can now re-enlist, but must first sign a form acknowledging their separation was voluntary. This requirement, part of a recent executive order, has led some veterans to refuse the offer, fearing it undermines their claims for back pay and promotions.
While the Department of Defense is reaching out to those affected, concerns have been raised about the implications of signing the form, with some veterans feeling it could sabotage their chances of reinstatement. The deadline for expressing interest in returning to service is April 1, 2026.

Le Monde: 'The myth of a streamlined, low-cost Chinese AI, embodied by DeepSeek, could collapse as quickly as it appeared'
Singapore's foreign affairs minister confirmed that US-made Nvidia chips passed through the country en route to Malaysia, raising concerns about their potential final destination, particularly China. Nvidia's sales in Singapore surged by 740% since the launch of the AI start-up DeepSeek, which has attracted attention amid US investigations into China's acquisition of these chips.
DeepSeek's rapid rise has been celebrated in Western media, despite the lack of independent verification of its claims. Analysts have overlooked the fact that Chinese citizens are restricted from accessing foreign AI alternatives. This narrative battle has favored Beijing, as it positions DeepSeek as a significant player in the AI sector, which remains largely dominated by the US.
