Breitbart: 10 Republican Legislators Push Amnesty, 'Dignity' for Illegal Migrants
At least 10 GOP legislators are advocating for The Dignity Act, which proposes multiple amnesties for various migrant populations and aims to increase the flow of foreign workers into the U.S. This plan is criticized for potentially harming American wages and housing affordability.
The bill has bipartisan support but faces backlash from pro-American legislators who argue it prioritizes business interests over American workers. Critics assert that it could fracture the GOP coalition ahead of the 2026 midterms, while supporters claim it addresses labor shortages in key sectors.
The Federalist: America Is Not A ‘Nation Of Immigrants’
A bipartisan group of lawmakers is promoting the DIGNITY Act, which they claim addresses the immigration crisis by offering amnesty to long-term illegal immigrants. Critics argue the bill merely rebrands amnesty as "dignity," allowing individuals who entered illegally as recently as 2018 to remain indefinitely without full citizenship.
The proposal is seen as a threat to the rule of law and national identity, reducing citizenship to a mere economic status rather than a commitment to the nation. Critics warn that this could lead to a society of unassimilated individuals, ultimately undermining the very fabric of American citizenship and identity.

He expressed frustration over the handling of Epstein-related documents, particularly after the Justice Department stated no further files would be released, contradicting earlier promises.
Despite Trump's attempts to downplay the issue, dissatisfaction remains among his base and some conservative influencers, who feel let down by his comments and the administration's approach. Polling indicates that many Americans are unsatisfied with the information provided about the Epstein case, reflecting broader concerns about transparency and trust in government.

Three conservative representatives have indicated they are likely to back the bill, despite a prior warning to the Senate not to alter the original package. The Senate passed the bill with a narrow 51-48 vote, and it will soon be reviewed by the House Rules Committee before a final vote.

Fox News: Trump-signed fentanyl law will end ‘cat and mouse’ with traffickers, state attorneys general say
President Trump signed the HALT Fentanyl Act, permanently classifying fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs, which increases penalties for trafficking. This bipartisan effort aims to combat the opioid epidemic, responding to a surge in overdose deaths across the U.S.
Supporters argue the law is essential for prosecuting drug traffickers effectively, while critics warn it may inadvertently criminalize harmless substances and fail to address underlying addiction issues. The measure is part of a broader initiative to reduce drug-related fatalities and curb illegal drug trafficking.

Le Monde: Trump's limited shift on Ukraine
Donald Trump has shifted his approach to the Ukraine conflict by agreeing to send military equipment, including Patriot air defense systems, through European NATO members rather than direct donations. This strategy allows him to claim financial neutrality while alleviating some uncertainty for Ukraine.
However, Trump has not fully reversed his stance, as he continues to sidestep acknowledging Russia's aggression and has set limits on the type of support provided. His ultimatum to Putin for a ceasefire, coupled with vague threats of sanctions, may not significantly impact the ongoing conflict.
Fox News: Trump's NATO deal to arm Ukraine wins over GOP skeptics
Lawmakers who previously opposed aid to Ukraine are now cautiously supportive, following President Trump's new plan that shifts the financial burden to European allies. Trump announced a deal for NATO countries to purchase billions in military equipment for Ukraine, aiming to alleviate American taxpayer costs.
This pivot comes after Trump previously criticized Ukraine's leadership and questioned its war goals. Now, he emphasizes the need for NATO to take greater responsibility in defense spending, suggesting that European nations should have acted sooner to deter Russian aggression.
Times Of Israel: Trump’s Iran strikes only set back Fordo, but US, Israel mulling resuming job – report
Recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites reportedly caused significant damage to only one location, with ongoing discussions between US and Israeli officials about potential renewed strikes on the remaining sites if Iran does not engage in negotiations. The strikes last month reportedly set back uranium enrichment at the Fordo site by two years, but damage at Isfahan and Natanz was less extensive.
While US officials claim the strikes were effective, doubts remain regarding Iran's ability to quickly resume its nuclear activities. The Pentagon maintains that the operations were crucial to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, despite Iran's assertions that its program is for civilian purposes. Israel has indicated it may take further military action if Iran attempts to rebuild its nuclear capabilities.
