The Federalist: DOGE: Criminal Aliens Got $1.3 Million In Welfare
The Biden administration has reportedly disbursed over $1.3 million in federal benefits to thousands of paroled illegal immigrants, some of whom have criminal or terrorist backgrounds. This includes Medicaid, student loans, and tax refunds, raising concerns about the vetting process for those admitted into the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection has identified 6,300 individuals paroled since 2023 who are on the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center watchlist. Critics argue that these parole schemes have allowed inadmissible aliens to enter the U.S. with insufficient scrutiny, while the Trump administration is noted for reducing illegal crossings significantly.

The Supreme Court has intervened multiple times to limit federal judges who exceed their authority, particularly in cases involving President Trump.

Judge Paula Xinis has demanded the Trump Administration provide detailed updates on Garcia's status and actions taken for his return, despite the complexities of foreign relations and the Administration's claims of authority. The ongoing standoff raises concerns about the balance of power between the Executive and Judicial branches.

Times Of Israel: Trump says he expects to make a decision on Iran’s nuclear program ‘very quickly’
President Trump indicated that a decision regarding US-Iran nuclear talks is expected soon, ahead of a scheduled meeting in Rome. Recent discussions between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi were described as constructive, with both sides expressing optimism.
Iran's foreign ministry announced plans for further discussions in Moscow, while the UN nuclear watchdog chief will visit Tehran to promote cooperation.

The Telegraph: Only economic oblivion can stop the Russian war machine
Russia is obstructing former President Trump's efforts for a ceasefire in Ukraine, insisting on regime change as a precondition for negotiations. Despite ongoing missile attacks and escalating tensions, the Kremlin remains unyielding, while U.S. patience is wearing thin.
Economic pressures and internal divisions within Russia may eventually push for a negotiated settlement. However, ultranationalists' influence complicates the situation, as they oppose any peace that doesn't meet maximalist goals. The fragility of Russia's economy could ultimately force a shift toward diplomacy.

The Telegraph: German tanks are failing in Ukraine for the same reasons they lost World War II
A leaked German Defence Ministry report highlights the Leopard 2 tank's shortcomings in Ukraine, echoing historical challenges faced by German tanks. Despite its advanced technology, the Leopard 2 is vulnerable to drone attacks and difficult to repair, limiting its effectiveness on the battlefield.
With only 18 Leopard 2s supplied to Ukraine, the tank's complexity poses maintenance issues that Russian tanks do not face. As the British Challenger 3 is set to debut, it must address these identified flaws to avoid repeating history.
