Breitbart: Report: Mexico's Illegal Migrant Truckers Push U.S. Truckers Off the Road
U.S. trucking companies are facing competition from lower-wage Mexican drivers using B-1 visitor visas to secure delivery contracts, undermining American truckers. Many Mexican drivers are illegally transporting domestic freight within the U.S., leading to economic and labor concerns.
The American Trucking Association has urged the government to enforce visa regulations to combat this issue. The influx of foreign drivers has reportedly driven down wages and worsened working conditions, contributing to a shortage of experienced American drivers and increasing safety risks on the roads.

Fox News: House Republicans unveil new food stamp work requirements for Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'
House Republicans are proposing stricter work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as part of President Trump's larger legislative agenda. The new provisions would raise the upper age limit for work requirements from 54 to 64 and include recipients with children over age 7.
The House Agriculture Committee aims to find $230 billion in cuts to offset the costs of Trump's priorities, shifting some financial responsibilities to states starting in 2028. This initiative is part of a broader budget reconciliation process that allows Republicans to advance their agenda with a simple majority.
Fox News: Energy watchdog exposes eye-popping carbon footprint of Sanders' jet-setting tour: 'Fake socialist'
Sen. Bernie Sanders' "Fighting Oligarchy" tour has come under scrutiny for its carbon emissions, with estimates showing his private jet travel produced 62.15 metric tons of CO2. This amount is compared to burning 62,600 pounds of coal and is more than the average American's emissions over five years.
Despite criticism, Sanders defended his travel choices, arguing that commercial flights are often impractical for his campaign needs. His committee reportedly spent over $221,000 on private jet charters in early 2025, raising questions about the disparity between his environmental advocacy and personal actions.
The Federalist: SCOTUS Can Give Back The Public Land Biden Illegally Grabbed
Dan Torongo, an engineer and gold prospector, faces challenges due to President Biden's recent designation of the Chuckwalla National Monument, which restricts mining activities in the area. This move has raised concerns about the legality of using the Antiquities Act to protect large swaths of land.
Torongo, along with legal support from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, argues that the monument's creation undermines individual property rights and could set a precedent for future abuses of the Antiquities Act. The case may escalate to the Supreme Court, questioning the constitutionality of such expansive land designations.

The Federalist: Trump Can Cut Funding To Universities Violating Civil Rights Law
The Trump administration is justified in challenging Harvard's tax-exempt status and stripping its funding under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, citing the university's failure to protect Jewish students from harassment and its viewpoint discrimination against conservatives. Legal experts argue that the administration's actions are grounded in existing law and necessary to combat discrimination.
Critics warn that this approach could set a precedent for future administrations to impose aggressive diversity and inclusion policies. However, the Trump administration is encouraged to act decisively against what it sees as systemic discrimination in higher education, particularly regarding antisemitism and viewpoint discrimination.

The Federalist: Consumerism Is Another Great Reason To Buy Less Chinese Junk
Donald Trump recently discussed consumerism during an NBC interview, suggesting that children do not need excessive toys, advocating for a more minimalist approach. He criticized the culture of overconsumption, which he likened to a "beast," and emphasized the importance of being content with fewer possessions.
Despite his own history of promoting consumer goods, Trump's message highlights a broader societal issue: Americans often acquire more than they need. Emphasizing experiences over material possessions could lead to greater fulfillment and reduce dependence on foreign goods.
