The Federalist: Budget Office Estimates Biden Border Bedlam Cost States Billions
A Congressional Budget Office report estimates that the surge in illegal migration during the Biden administration cost state and local governments approximately $9.8 billion in 2023. This figure includes both direct costs, such as services for migrants, and indirect costs, like increased demand for housing and education.
The report highlights that over 500,000 migrants qualified for taxpayer-funded benefits without a waiting period, further straining resources. With 550,000 children from the surge population in public schools, the report emphasizes the need for Congress to allocate resources for border security to prevent future chaos.

The department later issued an apology, stating the post was inappropriate and did not reflect their views. However, the lack of accountability raised questions about the motivations behind the original message, suggesting a possible alignment with a more progressive stance.

GB News: Ex-Tavistock nurse and mother take on England’s healthcare watchdog over teen hormone treatments
A High Court case in the UK challenges the Care Quality Commission's approval of Gender Plus, a private gender clinic, over concerns it violates NHS guidelines. Critics argue the clinic's rating as "Outstanding" contradicts evidence of risks associated with hormone treatments for young people.
The case, initiated by a former Tavistock clinician and a concerned mother, highlights the potential dangers of prescribing cross-sex hormones without strict safety protocols. The outcome could impact future gender care policies in the UK.

The Federalist: Iran Doesn’t Need To Be Made Safe For Democracy
President Trump has initiated U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, aiming to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear threat without engaging in a regime-change war. The focus should be on limiting escalation and ensuring Iran does not pose a danger to U.S. interests.
As tensions rise, maintaining open access to the Strait of Hormuz is crucial, given its significance for global oil and LNG transport. Trump must navigate these challenges while avoiding the pitfalls of past military engagements that sought to impose democracy rather than protect American interests.
The Economist: Do Americans really want war with Iran?
Public opinion in the U.S. shows a strong opposition to military action against Iran, with 60% against and only 16% in favor, largely due to the negative memories of past conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, following a recent attack, partisan divisions are emerging, with Republicans increasingly supporting military involvement.
The political landscape is shifting as Republicans unite around the issue, while Democrats face challenges in governance and public perception. This polarization reflects broader trends in American political sentiment and highlights the complexities of public opinion on foreign military engagements.

The Federalist: To Love Math, Kids Should Start Older And Encounter Its Beauty
J. Jacob Tawney argues in his new book that mathematics should be appreciated for its intrinsic beauty and value, rather than merely as a utilitarian tool. He advocates for a shift in teaching methods to foster a deeper understanding and love for math, emphasizing its role in enriching the human experience.
Tawney suggests that current curricula prioritize rote memorization over exploration and understanding, which diminishes the joy of learning math. He proposes a focus on fewer topics, allowing students to engage deeply with mathematical concepts and appreciate their inherent goodness and beauty.
