Fox News: Republican says Biden started controversial negotiations for backup Air Force One
Sen. Markwayne Mullin stated that negotiations for a $400 million temporary replacement for Air Force One began under the Biden administration, not the Trump administration. He emphasized the need for a backup as the current Air Force One is nearly 40 years old and lacks a replacement.
Qatari officials dismissed allegations of influence buying related to the plane gift, with Trump asserting that the aircraft is for the U.S. government, not for personal use. He compared the situation to past gifts, like the Statue of Liberty, highlighting the historical precedent for accepting foreign donations.
The Federalist: How It Would Work If Trump Used The Comey Standard On Comey
James Comey's recent social media post, interpreted as a call for violence against President Trump, has drawn significant backlash. Critics argue that Comey, who has evaded accountability for past actions during his tenure as FBI director, should face serious repercussions for his behavior, including incitement to violence.
The piece outlines Comey's controversial role in the Trump-Russia investigation and his alleged manipulation of events to undermine Trump's presidency. It calls for thorough investigation into Comey's conduct, suggesting that without proper scrutiny and punishment, such actions may continue to undermine the rule of law and democratic institutions.
Le Monde: Portugal's far right leads among youth ahead of legislative elections
In Portugal's upcoming legislative elections, the far-right party Chega is gaining traction among voters aged 18 to 24, polling at 23%, matching the ruling center-right coalition. This shift signals a potential end to the long-standing anti-authoritarian political culture in the country.
Historian Antonio Costa Pinto notes that young voters have largely forgotten the dictatorship era. Chega previously garnered 18% of the votes in March 2024, marking a significant rise since its emergence in 2019. The snap elections follow a failed confidence motion against Prime Minister Luis Montenegro.
Fox News: Trump-appointed federal judge rules against Biden-era sex-based employment discrimination guidance
A federal judge ruled that parts of the Biden administration's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidance, which includes sexual orientation and gender identity under Title VII protections, are "contrary to law." Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's decision supports the Heritage Foundation's challenge against the EEOC's definitions.
The ruling aligns with previous Trump administration policies, emphasizing a binary understanding of sex in employment law. The White House hailed the decision as a victory for women and common sense, while EEOC officials previously maintained that LGBTQI+ workers are protected under federal law.
The Federalist: Dems Won't Condemn Comey's Incitement Of Anti-Trump Violence
Former FBI Director James Comey's recent social media post, which featured a photo of seashells arranged to suggest "86 47," has drawn criticism for its perceived implication of violence against President Trump. Despite the clear connotation of "86" as slang for assassination, prominent Democrats have remained silent when asked to condemn the post.
Comey's defense of his post, claiming ignorance of its violent interpretation, has been met with skepticism, given his background in law enforcement. The lack of outrage from Democrats, who typically respond strongly to perceived threats, raises questions about their stance on accountability and the implications of Comey's message in a politically charged environment.
Breitbart: Rand Paul Grills Middle East Affairs Nominee Over Lies About U.S. Troops in Syria
Sen. Rand Paul is questioning Joel Rayburn, Trump's nominee for Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, about former Ambassador James Jeffrey's admission of misleading the president on troop levels in Syria. Jeffrey claimed there were more troops than the 200 Trump was informed about, leading to accusations of deception.
During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Paul pressed Rayburn on whether he was aware of any cover-up regarding troop numbers, which Rayburn denied. Paul expressed concern over Jeffrey's actions, calling them "tantamount to treason," and emphasized the need for transparency in U.S. leadership.
