The Federalist: New SG Prepares To Take On Nationwide Injunctions At SCOTUS
U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer will argue before the Supreme Court against nationwide injunctions in three birthright citizenship cases. The court's decision will focus on whether such injunctions should apply nationwide or be limited to individual plaintiffs, leaving the constitutionality of Trump's executive order for another day.
The Supreme Court's ruling could limit the use of nationwide injunctions but may not impact cases under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The Department of Justice believes it can successfully challenge these injunctions on the merits, indicating a broader strategy to counter judicial interference in the Trump Administration's governance.

President Trump, during his visit to Saudi Arabia, criticized decades of U.S. interventionist foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly the failures of nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan. He emphasized a new approach that prioritizes American interests over attempts to impose democracy abroad.
Trump's vision advocates for pragmatic engagement with foreign nations, suggesting that as long as they do not threaten U.S. interests, they can maintain their own forms of governance.

The Federalist: Biden Paid Over $271 Million In Unemployment To Millionaires
Millionaires and billionaires have been eligible for unemployment benefits since 1964, receiving substantial payouts even during the pandemic. In 2022, over 5,700 individuals earning $1 million or more collected nearly $58 million in benefits, while 2021 saw nearly $214 million paid out to similar earners.
Sen. Joni Ernst plans to introduce legislation to end these payments to millionaires, arguing that federal funds should not support wealthy individuals. The proposed bill would require millionaires to repay any unemployment benefits received improperly.

GB News: to be released after serving just a third of their sentence under Labour plans to tackle overcrowding
Prisoners in the UK may soon be released after serving only one-third of their sentences as part of Labour's new plan to address overcrowding. The "third, third, third" model allows well-behaved offenders to earn early release through work or educational programs, inspired by Texas reforms.
This approach targets specific offenders while excluding those convicted of serious crimes. With prisons nearing full capacity, the Ministry of Justice anticipates a crisis by early next year. The plan also includes expanding community punishments and reducing short sentences for better rehabilitation opportunities.
