| Trump's Shortsightedness on the Filibuster Sparks Alarm |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| Usually, Democrats are the ones offering wild solutions to Congress's problems, so it came as a bit of a surprise when President Donald Trump chimed in with what conservatives would agree is his worst idea yet. "Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW," the president posted in frustration. And while that "nuclear option" would certainly end the government shutdown, it would also guarantee the end of something far more important: bipartisanship. |

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| As congressional Democrats are poised to allow welfare programs to lapse during the ongoing government shutdown, a new study is showing that immigrants may be the hardest hit demographic. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analyzed 2024 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) data and found that nearly half of noncitizen households in the U.S. rely on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition program benefits, at the American taxpayer's expense. |

| by Joshua Arnold |
| Student-led resistance has put a spotlight on one Maryland middle school's locker room policy, which allows a transgender-identifying biological female to use the boys' locker room.

| Indonesia, Azerbaijan Chosen to Lead Post-Hamas Gaza Peacekeepers |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Plans for a post-Hamas future in Gaza are beginning to take shape, as Azerbaijan and Indonesia were selected to play a leading role in the International Stabilization Force (ISF), which President Donald Trump's peace plan proposed to maintain interim security in the Gaza Strip after Hamas's removal. According to the peace plan, the ISF must consist of forces from Muslim-majority nations, but Trump administration officials agreed that the participants must be acceptable to Israel. |

President Donald Trump has warned that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) may not legally be able to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly referred to as food stamps, since congressional Democrats have not agreed to approve a federal budget. |

| by Yoe Suarez |
| The drone bombs from the U.S. Southern Command, which have destroyed more than a dozen vessels off the coast of Venezuela, reverberate for miles around. And not only because the Trump administration expanded the theater of operations of the current counter-narcotics offensive toward the United States, sinking several boats in the Pacific Ocean. |
