Lawmakers released a $900 billion defense package that bans Chinese tech from Pentagon supply chains, restricts US investments in Beijing’s military-linked industries, and boosts Taiwan’s defense. It raises troop pay by four percent and forces FBI disclosures when investigating federal candidates. | 💰 Trump provides a $12B bailout for farmers. President Trump announced a $12 billion relief plan for farmers hurt by his trade tariffs, with most funds going to soybean producers. The aid follows China’s partial resumption of US soybean imports after a new trade deal. | 🗳️ Jasmine Crockett launches Texas Senate bid. Progressive Rep.

| | | ASK THE EDITORS | Why are sanctuary laws legal? | Q: Why are states and cities with "sanctuary laws" in place not practicing "nullification" like the southern states did after the passage of the 14th Amendment? Why doesn't the Supreme Court rule "sanctuary" status unconstitutional? — David | A: This is a great point, but sanctuary laws aren’t labeled “nullification” because cities aren’t blocking federal agents outright. Rather, they’re exploiting a loophole that lets them refuse cooperation. | But that refusal still sabotages federal immigration enforcement, and the Supreme Court could close the loophole by ruling that cities must cooperate when their obstruction materially weakens federal law. Whether they will do that or not remains an open question. | Have a question for us? Submit a letter to the editor here, or request a topic to be covered here.
