The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Monday, claiming the agency is continuing discriminatory practices established under the Biden administration. WILL filed suit against USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins in federal court on behalf of Adam Faust, a dairy farmer from Chilton, Wisconsin. The lawsuit alleges that the USDA has preserved three programs that violate the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause by disproportionately benefiting minority and female farmers.

The man charged with killing a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband was heavily armed and had dozens of possible targets, documents show. Authorities ended a nearly two-day manhunt by capturing 57-year-old Vance Boelter on Sunday after he allegedly gunned down Democratic Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband in their home and injured Democratic Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife two nights prior. A criminal complaint says Boelter left behind a “police-style vehicle” with “at least three AK-47 assault rifles,” a ballistic vest and a hit list that reportedly included dozens of Democratic lawmakers and abortion providers.

College graduates who immigrated to the U.S. on student visas earn substantially more than their native-born counterparts, according to an analysis by the Economic Innovation Group (EIG). The median salary for natural-born U.S. college graduates, as of 2023, is $87,000, while graduates who initially came to the U.S. on student visas earned a median of $115,000, the EIG’s analysis of the National Survey of College Graduates showed. The findings follow the Trump administration’s heightened scrutiny of foreign students amid concerns over national security and antisemitism on campuses.

A national-security watchdog group is asking members of Congress to take a closer look at an energy transition advocacy nonprofit that has ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). According to State Armor, the watchdog group, nonprofits are coordinating with U.S. climate groups to influence climate policy, advance the interests of the CCP and undermine U.S. national security. A new report by State Armor argues that the CCP is co-opting the American progressive climate change lobby to advance a transition away from fossil fuels. The alternative technologies being pushed by this lobby, according to the report, create significant economic and geopolitical advantages by undermining U.S. energy dominance and leaving it dependent on Chinese supply chains for its energy production. 

President Donald Trump's recent decision to pause deportations at farms and hotels has drawn ire from his supporters, many of whom have blamed Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and the agricultural lobby for what they perceive as a betrayal. "Brooke has always been suspect on immigration, among other things," wrote American Majority CEO Ned Ryun. "She’s a Perry/Bush Republican who grifts off the America First movement to self promote.  Before America First she grifted off of the conservative movement in Texas.  She’s always been a grifting establishment ladder climber who will be whatever she needs to be to advance herself."
