Breitbart: DHS Opposes Ending Tariffs on Canada Due to Flow of Illicit Drugs
The Department of Homeland Security opposes a bill to end President Trump's tariffs on Canada, citing concerns over the influx of illicit drugs, particularly opioids, across the northern border. The DHS argues that these tariffs have incentivized Canada to enhance its drug enforcement efforts.
Despite recent successes, including the seizure of a major fentanyl superlab, the DHS warns that Canada has not conducted significant operations against fentanyl production since the last election. The ongoing drug crisis poses serious risks to public health and safety in the U.S.

Fox News: Musk, Soros and millions collide in heated Wisconsin court showdown
Wisconsin's Supreme Court race attracted significant national attention, with former Attorney General Brad Schimel facing circuit court judge Susan Crawford. While Crawford emerged victorious, Republicans celebrated the passage of a referendum to enshrine voter ID laws in the state constitution, a long-standing goal.
The race saw support from major figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump for Schimel, while Crawford was backed by prominent liberals. Republicans expressed concerns over Crawford's past representation of groups opposing voter ID laws and abortion restrictions.
Le Monde: The 'reactionary international' against the rule of law
Marine Le Pen's recent embezzlement conviction has sparked a wave of support from global far-right leaders, highlighting a growing "reactionary international" against liberal democracy. Critics argue this movement undermines the rule of law and promotes impunity for populist figures.
The backlash against judicial decisions poses a significant threat to democratic principles, as seen in both France and the U.S. The attacks on judges and the notion of a "government of judges" reflect a troubling trend towards illiberalism, challenging the foundational values of equality before the law.
Breitbart: Judge: Qatar Tried to Bribe Israeli Officials to Downplay Egypt's Role in Negotiations
Several aides to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are under investigation for allegedly accepting payments from Qatar to promote a favorable narrative about the regime and diminish Egypt's role in hostage negotiations. The inquiry, dubbed “Qatargate,” has led to arrests and raised political tensions in Israel.
The allegations suggest that Qatar sought to influence Israeli and American perceptions while mediating for Hamas. Although Netanyahu is not implicated, the affair has sparked controversy, particularly as it relates to ongoing hostage negotiations.

Biden was found guilty on three charges related to false statements and gun possession due to his drug addiction.

He also faces additional tax-related charges but received a pardon from his father, President Joe Biden, for offenses committed up to December 2024.

President Trump’s approval ratings on tariffs and trade are declining, with recent polls indicating a majority of Americans believe tariffs harm the economy. His overall approval rating is slightly higher than during his first term, averaging 45%, compared to 41%.

The Federalist: Judge Admits 'Concerns' About 'Security' Of GA Voting System
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg dismissed a case challenging Georgia's electronic voting system, citing lack of standing despite acknowledging "substantial concerns" about its security. Plaintiffs argued they couldn't verify if their votes were accurately counted due to QR code vulnerabilities.
Totenberg ruled that the plaintiffs failed to prove a legally cognizable injury, preventing her from addressing the merits of their claims. Critics argue this decision undermines the constitutional right to vote, as it disregards voters' ability to confirm their selections.
Fox News: NYC Mayor Eric Adams indictment dismissed with prejudice

Breitbart: One in Five EU Lawmakers Broke Same Rule as Le Pen: Report
Marine Le Pen has been banned from running in the French presidential election for five years after being found guilty of embezzling EU funds. Critics argue this decision reflects double standards, as over 100 other MEPs have similarly violated rules without facing prosecution.
Le Pen claims the ruling is politically motivated, contrasting her treatment with that of pro-EU politicians like François Bayrou, who was acquitted despite similar accusations. She plans to appeal the court's decision, although the outcome may be uncertain given the typically left-leaning judiciary in France.
