Musk’s pseudo-government role is already causing consternation in Washington over a slew of potential conflicts of interest. Vietnam’s change of heart reveals how this new era of techno-imperialism is quietly reshaping policy in developing countries. Vietnam isn’t alone in its efforts to court the world’s wealthiest man and his political clout. Bangladesh’s interim leader recently invited Musk…

The rapid reduction of illegal crossings at the U.S. southern border calls into question a key Democratic talking point during the 2024 campaign, when party leaders blamed then-former President Donald Trump for helping kill bipartisan border legislation that they argued was the only way to secure the border.”President Trump’s fast and successful border security proves Biden’s false claim of needing the Senate’s border insecurity bill was nothing more than Biden’s attempted power grab to codify his open border tools and hamstring a future president who wanted to enforce the law,” Lora Ries, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and…

“(China) is probably thinking, we don’t want to be seen as siding with Putin … (and) openly going against international law. So it is saying: ‘We’re the grown-ups. Let’s take it through the proper channels.’ And I think that’s a very subtle message,” he said. Experts say China is also wary about the optics. “The Chinese are not just thinking about their relationship with Moscow or their relationship with Washington.

There’s at least one thing Americans widely agree on about President Donald Trump: they think he’s changing the way the government works. But they’re more split on whether that’s for the better or worse. His approach to immigration and deportation continues to receive positive marks, and his border policies are seen as effective. A large majority agree there is some waste in the federal government. DOGE and Elon Musk’s efforts divide the nation, though, as Americans foresee an impact from dismissing federal workers. Half the country thinks this will cut their services and remove essential people. Half think it’ll save money.Either way, it…
