The Federalist: Upcoming SCOTUS Case Could Reshape Redistricting
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear the case Louisiana v. Callais during its 2025-2026 term, which addresses whether prioritizing race in congressional map redistricting violates the Constitution. The case stems from disputes over Louisiana's congressional maps, which have faced lawsuits alleging racial gerrymandering.
Legal experts suggest this case could clarify the confusion surrounding the application of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in redistricting. A ruling that race should not factor into redistricting could significantly reduce litigation and help state lawmakers navigate the complexities of electoral district creation.
The Federalist: WaPo Hides Russiagate Facts From Readers While Peddling PR
The CIA reportedly opposed the declassification of a report that could expose its failures, particularly regarding claims of Russian interference in the 2016 election. Tulsi Gabbard's push to release the report has drawn criticism from some media, which allege she is undermining intelligence agencies.
Critics argue that the Washington Post's coverage lacks transparency and downplays the significance of Gabbard's actions, while also failing to adequately address the flawed intelligence that led to the Russia collusion narrative. The article suggests that the media's reluctance to confront these revelations undermines their credibility.

GB News: Israel to take over Gaza as Benjamin Netanyahu reveals five-point plan to finally oust Hamas
Israel's Security Cabinet has approved plans for the IDF to take control of Gaza City while ensuring humanitarian aid reaches civilians. Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized that Israel does not intend to govern Gaza but aims to establish a security perimeter and transfer control to Arab forces.
Hamas has condemned these plans as a "blatant coup" against negotiations, asserting that they jeopardize the lives of hostages held in Gaza. The Security Cabinet's five-point plan aims to conclude the ongoing conflict, with evacuation warnings potentially issued for specific areas. Approval from the full Cabinet is still pending.
Fox News: Hamas endgame is ‘long-term’ and is playing out for all to see as Israel pushes deeper into Gaza
Israel's security cabinet has approved Prime Minister Netanyahu's plan to take control of Gaza City in response to Hamas's actions that disrupted U.S.-mediated negotiations. Experts emphasize that Hamas aims to annihilate Israel and has become emboldened by international recognition of a Palestinian state.
Negotiations for a ceasefire and the release of hostages have stalled, with Hamas showing inflexibility. Analysts suggest that Hamas is focused on its long-term survival and jihad against Israel, viewing recent events as part of a broader struggle that began with its founding.
