The Western Journal: Fiery Stephen Miller 'Supercharges' ICE, Issues Goals So High Agents Worry They Might Not Be Able to Keep Up: Report
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has set ambitious goals for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), aiming for 3,000 arrests per day, a significant increase from previous numbers. This directive has raised concerns among agents about job security if targets are not met.

The Economist: America has found a new lever to squeeze foreigners for cash
The U.S. is implementing new tax measures targeting foreigners, following the trend of tariffs favored by Donald Trump. The administration views these taxes as a way to extract revenue from non-citizens, similar to how tariffs are used to exert pressure on other nations.
This strategy is part of a broader effort by Trump and his congressional allies to leverage the tax code for financial gain. The implications of these measures could significantly impact international relations and foreign investment in the U.S.
The Economist: Europe’s tricky trade threesome
Europe is currently navigating complex trade negotiations with both the U.S. and China. A looming threat of 50% tariffs from the U.S. is complicated by a court ruling that has temporarily blocked their implementation, while a summit with China is also scheduled for July.
These negotiations highlight Europe's challenging position between two superpowers, as it seeks to redefine its trade relationships amidst rising tensions.

This generational shift may pose a significant challenge to Erdogan's long-standing rule as young Turks demand change.

Fox News: Lone Biden official breaks silence on cognitive decline as cabinet stays mute
Only one former Biden cabinet member, Xavier Becerra, responded to inquiries about President Biden's fitness for office, stating he observed Biden's ability to make important decisions despite acknowledging his age. The silence from the rest of the cabinet raises questions about their previous claims of Biden's competence.

Despite some disappointment over the extent of cuts, Musk's approach has opened up new possibilities for identifying and addressing ineffective programs, ultimately allowing the American public to scrutinize federal spending more closely.

The Economist: Why would Texas Republicans object to conservative, pro-family developers?
Texas Republicans are reportedly opposing conservative, pro-family developers due to their Muslim identity. This reflects a broader trend of suspicion towards Muslims in the U.S., contrasting sharply with former President George W. Bush’s message of tolerance and goodwill post-9/11.
Bush emphasized that Islam is a religion of peace and condemned violence against innocents. His approach stands in stark contrast to the current political climate, where prejudice seems to influence local decisions.

A National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report has identified "incorrect" maintenance as the cause of a hard landing by Alaska Airlines Flight 1288, which occurred during Tropical Storm Hilary. The left main landing gear collapsed due to a fatigue crack in a metal trunnion pin, resulting from excessive grinding during a 2018 overhaul.
The crack, initially undetectable, had grown over time and led to the failure during landing. Despite the substantial damage to the aircraft, all 112 passengers and crew members were unharmed. Alaska Airlines has expressed its commitment to supporting affected passengers.

The Prince of Wales will operate in a high-risk environment, challenging the viability of aircraft carriers in such hostile conditions.

The Labour Party, which established Britain's National Health Service (NHS), faces a critical moment as the system struggles to maintain its reputation. Initially celebrated as a model for universal healthcare, the NHS is now seen as a source of national embarrassment.
