Times Of Israel: PM appoints Shin Bet deputy as interim chief, even as Bar’s firing remains frozen
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has appointed the deputy head of Shin Bet as its acting chief, following backlash against his initial choice of Vice Adm. Eli Sharvit. The incumbent, Ronen Bar, remains in his position due to a High Court injunction against his dismissal, despite Netanyahu's loss of faith in him after the October 7 Hamas attack.
Netanyahu is continuing to interview candidates for a permanent replacement, focusing on those within Shin Bet or with past ties to the agency. Critics suggest his motivations for firing Bar may be linked to an ongoing investigation into connections between Netanyahu's aides and Qatar.

Fox News: USDA’s woke boondoggle spent taxpayer dollars on DEI insanity
The Biden administration's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has led to significant waste in the USDA, diverting resources from essential agricultural support to ideological initiatives. Recent examples include DEI-themed seed packets, which critics argue reflect a misguided use of taxpayer funds.
As food inflation and supply chain issues plague farmers, the USDA's prioritization of DEI over practical agricultural needs has raised concerns about accountability and governance. The upcoming policy changes aim to refocus efforts on food security rather than ideological agendas.
