The Senate has proposed $300 million for a program that would benefit Tel Aviv in its version of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), while the House version of the 2027 NDAA also includes a related proposal that would provide Israel with some of the U.S. military’s most advanced weapons and manufacturing technologies, along with a $300 million line item titled “Israeli Cooperative Programs.”

The Colorado Supreme Court on Monday blocked three ballot initiatives to redraw the state's congressional maps, finding that they violated a clause in the state constitution limiting such initiatives to a single issue. Colorado currently maintains an independent redistricting commission, but proponents of the initiatives have sought to create a temporary slate of maps to balance out redistricting in Republican-leaning states. A similar effort in Virginia did not survive legal scrutiny.

U.S. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN-05) have joined the growing list of nationally recognized progressive Democrats throwing their endorsements behind State Representative Justin Pearson (D-Memphis), who seeks his party's nomination to represent Tennessee in the newly redrawn 9th Congressional District.

Rental prices for the 46 million Americans who rent their homes are finally reversing, and there’s speculation President Donald Trump’s border security and deportation policies are a driving factor. With over three million illegal aliens either voluntarily leaving the country or deported since President Trump took office according to the Department of Homeland Security, rental homes are freeing up for U.S. citizens across major metro areas. According to the latest Apartment List National Rent Report released May 27, rental prices are down 1.5 percent nationally compared to one year ago. This is the lowest year over year rent increase since 2017. For comparison, the year over year rent growth in 2022 during the Biden Administration was 17.7 percent.

How often does the FBI improperly eavesdrop on the texts, calls and emails of Americans? The question is at the heart of the Capitol Hill debate over Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702, a tool that simplifies collecting intelligence on foreign nationals but also permits “backdoor” spying on Americans. 

When an intelligence agent purchased illegal firearm components from China, an Intelligence Community contractor searched through employee security files and another such contractor profited off of government service, the IC watchdog raised the alarm. But federal agencies within the community failed to act for months, according to bombshell testimony delivered to Congress this week.  The Intelligence Community Inspector General Christopher Fox testified that his watchdog office lacks the proper authority to carry out investigations into alleged wrongdoing inside the Intelligence Community and instead is often hampered by “tribalism” among the agencies.
