GB News: Terrorist who plotted to bomb football stadium appeals against deportation claiming he would be 'executed by gangsters' in Albania
Maksim Cela, a convicted Albanian terrorist, is appealing his deportation from the UK, claiming he faces execution from gang rivals if returned to Albania. Cela, who has a history of violent offenses, including planning a bombing and murdering a police officer, argues he is at risk due to a "blood feud."
The Home Office contends Cela is exaggerating the threats to avoid deportation, asserting he could receive protection in Albania. His asylum claim was initially rejected, but a judge accepted his claim of life risk under the European Convention on Human Rights. The Upper Tier Tribunal will make a final decision on his status.

Fox News: DAVID MARCUS: Sen. Spartacus’ filibuster folly was played-out performative nonsense
Senator Cory Booker conducted a 24-hour filibuster that drew comparisons to classic political speeches but was criticized as performative and lacking substance. His rhetoric emphasized a dire need to oppose former President Trump, framing him as an existential threat, despite previous Democratic criticisms of the filibuster.
Booker's approach reflects a shift in the Democratic Party's strategy, prioritizing confrontation over collaboration. Critics argue that this tactic alienates voters seeking bipartisan solutions and diminishes the impact of traditional political expressions, leading to a disconnect with the current political landscape.

Fox News: Wisconsin, Florida elections get spin treatment as Dems, GOP look ahead to 2026 midterms
Democrats celebrated a significant victory in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, where liberal Judge Susan Crawford defeated conservative Judge Brad Schimel by about ten points. This election, heavily funded by outside groups, is seen as a referendum on Trump's influence and will impact key issues like redistricting and abortion.
In contrast, Republicans secured two congressional seats in Florida, maintaining their fragile majority in the House. Despite Democrats' fundraising advantages, they lost by substantial margins in districts previously won by Trump. The results highlight ongoing challenges for Democrats, including low approval ratings and the need for a clearer agenda.

Fox News: I exposed Hamas links in BBC Gaza film: 'When the media spread lies it has consequences'
The BBC faced backlash after a documentary funded by a senior Hamas official's family revealed anti-Israel bias, leading to its removal. Critics argue this incident highlights a broader trend of media bias against Israel, exacerbated by demographic shifts in Europe and internal corruption within institutions like the BBC.
The documentary's ties to Hamas and the subsequent outrage underscore concerns about the media's role in shaping public opinion against Israel, contributing to rising antisemitism. Critics assert that the BBC, funded by a state license fee, perpetuates narratives that harm Jewish communities while failing to uphold journalistic integrity.

Forbes: These Cars—Chevrolet, Ford, Jeep And More—May Be More Expensive As Trump’s Auto Tariffs Take Effect Today

Analysts predict increases of up to 20%, with some estimates reaching as high as $10,000 per vehicle, particularly affecting imports from Canada and Mexico.
Trump has warned automakers against raising prices in response to the tariffs, claiming they will benefit from increased domestic manufacturing. The tariffs are set to take effect soon, with potential repercussions for car sales and the overall automotive industry, as analysts have already lowered sales forecasts amid economic uncertainty.

Tesla experienced a 13% decline in first-quarter auto sales, delivering 336,681 units, falling short of analyst expectations. This drop is attributed to production slowdowns during factory upgrades and backlash against CEO Elon Musk's political affiliations.
The company's stock has halved since December, as concerns over regulatory changes and consumer boycotts grow. Analysts remain uncertain about the impact of protests versus broader market trends, noting a general slowdown in electric vehicle sales.

Forbes: Tesla Reports Worst Quarterly Vehicle Deliveries Since 2022—Down 13% From Last Year
Tesla reported 337,000 vehicle deliveries in Q1 2025, falling short of analyst forecasts of 408,000. This marks a potential year-over-year decline, with analysts predicting deliveries between 351,000 and 375,000. The company's stock dropped 5% in premarket trading amid concerns over CEO Elon Musk's political affiliations impacting sales.
Analysts attribute the decline to backlash against Musk and increased competition, particularly in the EU and China. The stock has plummeted 29% since January 2, and over 40% from its peak in December, raising questions about the brand's value amidst Musk's political activities.
