Fox News: Judge's swift arrest for illegal's courtroom escape contrasts with Biden DOJ handling of similar case in 2022
A Massachusetts judge, Shelley Joseph, faces potential removal for allegedly allowing a twice-deported illegal immigrant to evade ICE in 2018. Federal charges against her were dropped by the Biden administration in 2022, but state disciplinary action has been delayed until 2024.

Le Monde: Musk loses much (but not all) by working with Trump
Elon Musk's tenure alongside Donald Trump in the White House has resulted in significant financial and industrial losses. Musk's wealth has plummeted from $486 billion to around $335 billion, with Tesla's sales dropping 20% and profits cut by a third due to competition and consumer backlash.
Additionally, Musk's behavior has raised moral concerns, including a controversial incident involving a Nazi salute. His role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency has seen ambitious budget savings promises shrink dramatically, culminating in a mere $160 billion.
Fox News: White House vows to implement 'system of merit' in US, dismantle DEI 'strangulation'
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller emphasized President Trump's commitment to dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, advocating for a "system of merit." He argued that prioritizing merit enhances innovation and job creation.
The Trump administration has taken significant steps to eliminate DEI initiatives across federal agencies and is using federal funding as leverage to prompt universities like Harvard to reform their practices. Harvard has not complied with these demands.
The Federalist: Biden’s Lawfare Nearly Ripped Ranching Family Apart
The Trump Administration has dropped criminal charges against South Dakota ranchers Charles and Heather Maude, who faced up to 10 years in prison over a land dispute with the federal government. The case illustrates the differing approaches of the Biden and Trump administrations regarding citizen treatment and federal oversight.
The Maudes, who have managed their family ranch for generations, were indicted for "theft of federal property" related to a fence issue. Critics argue that the Biden Administration's actions were an overreach and that existing laws could have resolved the matter without criminal charges. A new USDA initiative aims to address perceived government overreach affecting farmers and ranchers.
Fox News: SCOOP: 38 GOP lawmakers say not repealing Biden's green agenda in Trump tax bill is 'hypocrisy'
A group of 38 House Republicans is urging a complete repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in a budget reconciliation bill, arguing that its green energy subsidies undermine Trump's energy dominance agenda and burden taxpayers. They warn that retaining any subsidies risks preserving the entire IRA.
Some Republicans, however, advocate for maintaining certain tax credits tied to green energy investments, citing their importance for domestic energy production. This internal conflict highlights the GOP's struggle to balance fiscal conservatism with political considerations in districts benefiting from these subsidies.

The Economist: Why building anything in London is so hard
Building in London faces significant challenges due to complex bureaucracy, particularly for brownfield projects. The site of the former Bromley-by-Bow gasworks, once a symbol of Victorian engineering, remains neglected despite its prime location near trendy areas and financial districts.
These obstacles contribute to a broader perception of urban decay, as voters express concern over the city's deteriorating conditions. Efforts to rejuvenate such sites are often stalled by red tape.

The deal originated from Ukraine's initiative, which presented a pitch to attract U.S. investment by highlighting its natural resources. This strategy resonated with Trump and his team, leading to exaggerated claims about the potential value of these resources.
