Concerns over President Joe Biden's 2024 election bid are growing on both sides of the political spectrum.

The Epoch Times: 'It's Crazy': Trump Weighs in on NYC's Wood- and Coal-Fired Pizza Oven Crackdown
Donald Trump criticized the proposed emission-cutting rules for pizzerias in New York City that would target coal- and wood-fired ovens. Last month, New York City drafted a rule requiring pizza operators with such ovens to reduce carbon emissions by up to 75 percent.

National Review: The Corner: Thomas, Harlan, and co.
Tim Carney argues that it is not hypocritical for Clarence Thomas to oppose affirmative action despite benefiting from it. Just as Justice Harlan, a former slaveholder who would have benefitted from segregation, dissented in the case of Plessy, Thomas can still rule against affirmative action if he believes it to be unconstitutional. Criticizing Thomas for following his convictions and suggesting that a Supreme Court Justice should advance personal preferences is unjust.

The Epoch Times: All About Prigozhin
The armed mutiny by Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin has weakened Putin, causing concern in Russian media. The mutiny revealed the dangers of using semi-private military operations like the Wagner group. Prigozhin's rebellion was driven by a loss of power due to government actions, and he used it as an opportunity to negotiate for his personal relevancy. Although the rebellion failed in its stated goal, it put Prigozhin in a strong negotiating position without causing major damage to Putin's popularity or Russia's image. The lack of support for the mutiny indicates Putin's high approval rating and the people's support for the war.
