GB News: REVEALED: The flaw in Keir Starmer's EU deal that will leave Britain open to thousands more immigrants
Sir Keir Starmer's proposed "Youth Experience Scheme" with the EU may allow for increased immigration, with demands for young Europeans aged 18 to 30 to bring families to the UK. Concerns arise over potential costs to taxpayers and the possibility of an uncapped influx of migrants.
Despite pushback from Brexiteers, the UK government aims for a capped deal without benefits access for dependants. Advocates for youth argue for broader opportunities, emphasizing the need for easier access to work and education abroad, reminiscent of past arrangements like Erasmus+.

The Western Journal: Elon Musk Announces Significant Change to His Political Strategy Going Forward: 'I’ve Done Enough'
Elon Musk announced at the Qatar Economic Forum that he plans to reduce his political spending, stating, "I've done enough." He indicated that while he may spend again if he sees a reason, he currently does not. This shift could impact GOP funding, particularly ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Musk's previous contributions included $288 million to support Donald Trump's 2024 election campaign. Despite this change, the Republican Party has historically succeeded without his financial backing.
Fox News: Senate GOP vows vote to end Biden EPA waiver granted to push drivers to EV cars
Senate Republicans plan to vote this week on whether to revoke California's emissions waiver from the EPA, which permits the state to enforce stricter vehicle emissions standards, including a mandate for all vehicles sold to be electric by 2035. This vote raises questions about whether the waiver qualifies as a government "rule" under the Congressional Review Act.
Democrats have criticized the GOP's actions as a "nuclear option" that could undermine Senate rules, while Senate Majority Leader Thune argues that the issue centers on the authority of the Government Accountability Office to define what constitutes a rule. He contends that Democrats have previously sought to eliminate the legislative filibuster when it suited their agenda.
