Fox News: Kent State student's violent anti-Trump art display spurs outrage
A Kent State University student art exhibit featuring violent imagery of President Trump was taken down after sparking outrage. The exhibit included a depiction of Trump's head on a stake and other political figures similarly portrayed, which led to significant social media backlash.

Fox News: Trump urges Supreme Court to let trans military ban proceed
The Trump administration has requested the Supreme Court to review a lower court's ruling that temporarily blocks its ban on transgender individuals serving in the military. The Justice Department argues that the injunction hampers military readiness and seeks to allow the enforcement of the ban while the case is under appeal.
The Ninth Circuit previously denied the administration's request to stay the injunction, which prevents the identification and removal of transgender service members. The legal battle continues as the administration defends its policy aimed at maintaining military standards and cohesion.

The Economist: Europe wants Sweden’s minerals. That’s more bad news for the Sami
Sweden's Kiruna, once known for its iron ore, is now at the center of Europe's green transition due to a newly discovered deposit of rare-earth metals. This mine will play a crucial role in the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act, aiming to source 10% of essential minerals domestically.
However, the expansion threatens the Sami reindeer-herders, whose legal protections are insufficient, pushing them closer to the brink. The situation reflects ongoing tensions between industrial development and indigenous rights.
