Fox News: Asian American student speaks out on affirmative action: 'Deck is stacked against kids that look like me'
Asian-American student and prospective Brown University student Alex Shieh spoke out against affirmative action and race-based admissions policies, which he claims discriminate against Asian Americans. He argued that admissions should be based on merit, not diversity, and expressed concern that administrators did not think that Asian Americans were diverse enough to contribute to a diverse student body. Shieh emphasized the importance of education in achieving the American dream and ensuring equal opportunities for all races on college admissions.
The Supreme Court is set to rule on cases related to affirmative action and race-based admissions policies in universities. Affirmative action policies have received criticism for discrimination in the name of diversity, and Shieh shared his concerns that Asian Americans were at a disadvantage in admissions. He argued that admissions should be based on merit and that everyone should have an equal shot at achieving the American dream through education.
Breitbart: Energy Secretary Admits Making False Statement About Not Owning Stocks
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm admitted to owning individual stocks despite previously testifying under oath that she had sold them all.

Granholm's husband also sold his shares in the Ford Motor Company after it was revealed that he owned more than $2,000 worth of them. Some senators have criticized Granholm's handling of her financial holdings, while others have called for a ban on executive branch officials owning individual stocks.
Breitbart: WaPo's Marcus: If I Had a Superpower, I'd 'Ban the Word Weaponization' -- Weaponization Happened under Trump, Not Biden
Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post wants to ban the word 'weaponization' because Trump's indictment is the opposite of it. She notes that the weaponization of the Justice Department happened under the Trump administration rather than under the Biden administration. Marcus is sickened by the Republican Party rallying around Trump, not because they believe him, but because they think it's politically advantageous. The attorney general for the Biden administration, Merrick Garland, stepped aside from the case and brought in a career prosecutor to look at it. This is in contrast to the Trump administration where the weaponization of the Justice Department happened.

The Epoch Times: Female-Only Spa With Compulsory Nudity Must Admit 'Transgender Women' With Penises: Judge
A spa in Washington state, designed for women and based on the belief that "a male and a female should not ordinarily be in each other's presence while in the nude unless married to each other," has been ordered to admit transgender women with male genitalia. The spa must comply with the state's law in support of transgender rights and nondiscrimination policies and remove language about only admitting “biological women.” The spa can still file an amended complaint within 30 days, as it claims it is violating the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantee freedom of speech and religion and the protection of free association. It denies discrimination and has expressed concern about exposing female customers, particularly minors, to male genitalia.
