The Federalist: Docs: Biden Ginned Up FBI Probes Of Law-Abiding Opponents
The Biden administration's National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism is criticized as a tool for targeting political opponents rather than protecting citizens. The strategy's vague terms have led to investigations of law-abiding Americans, creating a chilling effect on free expression.

The Federalist: If NYC Elects A Far-Left Socialist, Blame Ranked-Choice Voting
New York City's upcoming mayoral primary may see an open socialist candidate, Zohran Mamdani, gain traction due to ranked-choice voting. This system, designed to allow voters to rank candidates, has led to confusion, ballot discards, and questionable outcomes, undermining the principle of one person, one vote.
Despite its flaws, ranked-choice voting is being pushed by some on the left, even as many states are rejecting it. Recent bans in 17 states highlight growing opposition to this electoral method, which risks voter disenfranchisement and undermines democratic processes.

The Federalist: It's Time For Trump To Play Hardball With Qatar
President Trump aims to reshape the Middle East by integrating Gulf states into the U.S. ecosystem, fostering ties between Arab nations and Israel, and countering Iran and China. He believes economic incentives will persuade Qatar to normalize relations with Israel, despite its history of funding terrorism.
Qatar has leveraged its wealth to influence U.S. policy and public perception, spending billions on lobbying and media. While Trump seeks to engage Qatar diplomatically, concerns persist about its alignment with radical Islam and terrorism. The challenge remains whether economic ties can lead to genuine reform.
