The Western Journal: House Democrats Working on Scheme to Gain Power Over DOGE
Democratic Reps. Brad Schneider and Stephen Lynch plan to introduce the "DOGE Accountability and Transparency Act," aiming to impose bureaucratic reporting requirements on Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk. This move is seen as an attempt to slow down DOGE's progress and protect federal agencies.
The bill is unlikely to pass in a Republican-controlled Congress and is viewed as political theater. Democrats are defending government employees and their interests while Trump and his allies seek to challenge the status quo.

Times Of Israel: A deal is ‘preferable,’ as Trump said, but only if it permanently blocks Iranian nukes
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was taken by surprise during a meeting with President Donald Trump, where Trump announced direct negotiations with Iran regarding its nuclear program. This unexpected announcement raises concerns for Israel, as it could limit Israel's military options and may not adequately prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Netanyahu emphasized the need for a robust agreement that dismantles Iran's military nuclear capabilities, but Trump provided no assurances regarding the demands or potential military responses if negotiations fail. The situation remains precarious, with Iran closer to nuclear capability than before.

Forbes: Bessent Downplays China’s 84% Retaliatory Tariff: ‘So What’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the escalating U.S.-China trade war is disadvantageous for China, as their exports to the U.S. significantly outnumber U.S. exports to China. Following the U.S. imposing a 104% tariff on Chinese imports, China retaliated with an 84% tariff on U.S. goods.
Bessent anticipates that the U.S. and its allies will negotiate collectively with China to reach new trade agreements. Meanwhile, concerns about a recession have risen, with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon suggesting that the tariffs could lead to significant credit issues.

The Telegraph: Dismembered scientist found inside suitcase may have been lured into a trap
Alessandro Coatti, a 42-year-old Italian scientist, was found dismembered in a suitcase in Colombia after going missing on April 4. His remains were discovered by children near a football stadium and later in a river, prompting police to investigate potential foul play.
Authorities are considering the possibility that Coatti was lured into a trap, possibly involving a woman. The local mayor has offered a £10,000 reward for information on his murder, which has raised concerns due to its brutality and lack of evidence linking Coatti to any criminal activity.
