The Federalist: Biden Was Never Fit For Office To Begin With
Concerns about President Biden's cognitive abilities have intensified, particularly regarding clemency decisions made at the end of his term. A New York Times article suggests that Biden's aides managed the clemency process, using an autopen for signatures, raising questions about his direct involvement.
Critics argue that the administration's portrayal of Biden as actively engaged in these decisions is implausible, given his perceived cognitive decline. This situation has led to accusations of a "deep state" influence over the presidency, with calls for accountability regarding Biden's fitness for office.

The Federalist: SCOTUS Says Trump Can Move Forward With Layoffs At Ed Dept.
The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that the Department of Education can proceed with layoffs of approximately 1,400 employees, blocking a lower court's order for reinstatement. Education Secretary Linda McMahon emphasized the ruling as a victory for the Trump administration's efforts to streamline the department.
The decision allows the administration to continue its goal of reducing federal oversight in education, despite dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who argued that the administration is overstepping its authority by attempting to dismantle the department without congressional approval.
The Federalist: Congressman Calls For Subpoenas As Biden Aides Lawyer Up
The New York Times' recent article on President Biden's autopen scandal raises more questions than it answers, particularly regarding the control and decision-making within the White House during his presidency. Critics are calling for further investigations into the thousands of clemency decisions made at the end of his term, with some alleging that significant actions were taken without Biden's explicit approval.
Members of Congress are pushing for more accountability, with subpoenas issued to former aides and Biden's physician, who has invoked the Fifth Amendment in testimony. The ongoing inquiries aim to clarify Biden's mental fitness during his presidency and the legitimacy of his late-term pardons.

Ann Widdecombe asserts that the UK economy is in a dire state, worse than in the 1970s, and calls for "real change." She argues that both Labour and the Tories have neglected growth, advocating for lower taxes and enterprise encouragement as essential for recovery.
