National Review: Work Requirements Just Make Sense
The House Republicans' debt-limit bill would expand work requirements for SNAP and Medicaid only to able-bodied, working-age adults without dependents. Many Americans, including Biden as a senator, support work requirements for welfare, with a poll from February finding that 68% of Americans believe welfare recipients should be required to work or participate in job-training programs if they are able to. Despite this, progressives have criticized the GOP plan, with Senator Elizabeth Warren saying she cannot support a deal that is only about hurting people, and progressive economist Dean Baker likening making a debt-limit deal with Republicans on issues such as work requirements to "negotiating with terrorists."

National Review: Far-Left Groups Pressure White House to Redefine Antisemitism
Progressive groups are urging Joe Biden to exclude the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism from his forthcoming national antisemitism strategy. Representatives recently rejected the IHRA's definition and recommended alternatives such as the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism and the Nexus Document. These definitions permit disproportionate attention to Israel, claim that the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel is not necessarily antisemitic, permit comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and accept antisemitism when it presents itself under a certain guise. The administration's task force remains undecided on how to proceed.

Fox News: Alaska to reconsider 135-year sentence given to 14-year-old girl
An Alaskan court will reassess the 135-year sentence given to the state’s youngest female convicted of murder. In 1986, Winona Fletcher was sentenced for her role in the murder of three people, which she committed when she was 14. She and her then-boyfriend, Cordell Boyd, killed three elderly people. The new court ruling comes following the reconsideration of the case due to the judge’s failure to consider Fletcher’s prospects for rehabilitation.
Due to advancements in understanding, it has been found that juveniles are different from adults for sentences regarding serious crimes, as they are more reckless, impulsive and take more risks. In Alaska, the reconsideration follows a series of US Supreme Court decisions over the past 18 years that have interpreted how juvenile offenders should be dealt with. The defendant, now aged 53, was a victim of child sex abuse and had become a sex worker by the age of 13. While acknowledging the terrible crimes committed by Winona Fletcher, the court ruled that the judge should have taken into account her youth and vulnerability, along with her prospects for rehabilitation, when determining her sentence.

Fox News: Army officer away on active duty speaks out after squatter moved into Georgia home: 'Quite alarming'
Lt. Col. Dahlia Daure returned from active duty to find a squatter in her Georgia home whom she unsuccessfully tried to evict. Vincent Simon claimed to have a lease and paid $19,000 upfront for six months, but was later served with an intruder affidavit to vacate the DeKalb County, Georgia property. A weapon and drugs were found on Simon upon his arrest, whereby he was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a controlled substance. Daure ultimately used Title 44 1130 to evict Simon; although police involvement wasn't possible due to the matter being a civil issue, the code allows civilians to do it themselves.
American Thinker: Sam Brinton, ex-Biden nuclear waste top official, arrested as ‘fugitive from justice’ in third alleged airport luggage theft
Sam Brinton, a former Department of Energy official, was arrested in Maryland on charges of grand larceny related to the theft of airport luggage. This is the third such criminal involved incident in which Brinton has been implicated. Brinton has been previously charged with stealing traveller's bags from the Minneapolis-St Paul Airport and a suitcase with an estimated worth of $3,670 from the Harry Reid International Airport.

Liberty Nation: SCOTUS Roundup: Warhol Liable, Google and Twitter Not Terrorists
The Supreme Court cleared Twitter and YouTube of blame for ISIS terrorist attacks, bolstering content creation while restricting it. The Twitter case relates to Nawras Alassaf, murdered by ISIS in the 2017 Reina Discothèque bombing in Istanbul. The Alassaf family has tried to sue Facebook, YouTube and Twitter because ISIS used those social networks, but the cases were thrown out. In the same round of opinions, a court decided that Andy Warhol and Condé Nast violated the copyright of photographer Lynn Goldsmith, winning her case at the Supreme Court, which said the Warhol image and her original shared substantially the same commercial purpose. Justice Elena Kagan's impassioned defense of derivative art in her dissenting opinion recalled the threats to creativity under a standard set by the majority in Warhol vs. Goldsmith court case.
