🇺🇸⚡️- Matt Forney has been fired as Editor-in-Chief of Debateless after mocking the death of Colin Sharpe, the 20-year-old leader of the Boston University College Republicans, who tragically died in a car accident.

Forney celebrated the young man's death on X, writing, "The groyper curse is real." Debateless subsequently announced his immediate removal as Editor-in-Chief. A disgraceful way to treat a bright young man whose life was just beginning, and a well-deserved firing.

✝️ - On this day 1,714 years ago, Emperor Constantine witnesses a fiery cross in the sky and dreams of Christ. With the Chi-Rho symbol emblazoned on their shields, his army triumphs at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Constantine would go on to convene and attend the First Council of Nicaea, found Constantinople, and receive the rite of baptism on his deathbed.

🇮🇳🇨🇳⚡️- India has deployed hundreds of additional security personnel to Arunachal Pradesh following violent protests against a proposed 11,200-megawatt hydroelectric dam on the Siang River.

New Delhi considers the project a strategic counterweight to China's planned megadam upstream in Tibet, which has raised concerns about Beijing's ability to control water flows into northeastern India. Local opposition has complicated the project, with residents upset that dozens of villages could be submerged.

🇺🇸🇲🇾🇨🇳⚡️- Malaysia has authorized a majority American-owned company to export up to 700 metric tons of rare earth material to the US, marking its first reported approval under relaxed export restrictions.

DTEC expects to ship the first 30 tons this weekend and is seeking $650 million in US financing for a Malaysian processing facility, which would help reduce American dependence on China's rare earth industry.

Votes counted: 76.89%.

- Arab-coalition: 19 seats.

🇮🇱 - As the results currently stand, Gadi Eisenkot would be unable to form even a minority government, assuming the Joint List keeps its promise to vote against both blocs.

Even with Ra’am’s support in a confidence vote, as it did when it joined the Bennett–Lapid coalition in the previous government, his bloc would total 53 seats, one short of the Likud-led camp. Eisenkot would therefore need either a defection from Likud’s camp or the backing of at least two Joint List seats.

A Likud minority government is impossible: a majority of the new Knesset, 66 seats made up of Yashar’s camp and the two Arab parties, would vote against it.
