Fox News: GOP outperformed Dems on voter registration in key battleground states, new analysis reveals
Research indicates that Republicans outperformed Democrats in voter registration across four key battleground states—Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, and Pennsylvania—between the 2020 and 2024 elections. The analysis, conducted by the American Association of Political Consultants, found a significant drop in registered Democrats and an increase in both unaffiliated and Republican voters.
The data reveals that while overall voter turnout declined in three of the four states, the decrease was more pronounced among Democrats. Republicans capitalized on this trend, enhancing their outreach to traditionally Democratic voter blocs and increasing their volunteer efforts for election integrity. This shift contributed to Trump's victories in all seven battleground states in 2024.

Le Monde: Raising minimum wage reduces global inequality more effectively than tax hikes
Global inequality has declined over the past 25 years, with the richest 1% seeing a slight decrease in income share, while the poorest 50% have gained. However, inequality between countries has decreased due to the growth of economies like China and India, while within-country inequality has risen.
A study by economists from the World Inequality Lab forecasts that if current trends continue, the convergence between countries will have minimal impact on global wealth gaps by 2050. The rise of middle and upper classes in Asia will not significantly reduce overall inequality.
