POLITICS
Biden’s Last-Minute Fire Sale: Border Wall Materials Sold Off Before Trump’s Return
As Trump prepares for his second term, the Biden administration has quietly auctioned off millions of dollars’ worth of unused border wall materials. Critics are calling it a political stunt, while supporters argue it’s cutting waste.
Why it matters: With immigration reform expected to be a top priority for Trump, selling off these materials could signal Biden’s resistance to border security measures.
Driving the news:
• Over $300 million worth of border wall components have been sold since 2021, with the most recent sales raising $50 million.
• The move comes as migrant numbers at the southern border continue to spike.
What’s next: Trump’s team has hinted at plans to recover or replace these materials, promising an aggressive restart to construction.

JUSTICE
Forgotten Heroes or Dangerous Extremists? The Plight of January 6 Prisoners Sparks National Debate
The fate of January 6 prisoners has divided the nation. Some see them as political prisoners, while others view them as dangerous extremists who attacked democracy.
Why it matters: This debate isn’t just about January 6—it’s about how America defines justice and accountability in a polarized era.
Zoom in:
• Around 1,200 people have been charged, with over 300 still incarcerated.
• Advocates argue many are being denied fair trials or subjected to inhumane treatment.
• Critics warn that turning these prisoners into martyrs fuels political extremism.
The Bottom Line: Trump’s vocal support for these prisoners is reigniting tensions and sparking calls for criminal justice reform—or stricter accountability.

POLICY
Trump’s Plan to End Daylight Saving Time: A Bold Step or Just Common Sense?
Trump’s latest policy proposal is hitting a nerve with Americans weary of clock changes. He wants to permanently abolish daylight saving time, aligning with growing calls for stability.
Why it matters: Studies link daylight saving time to health risks, productivity losses, and accidents. Scrapping it could impact everything from school schedules to global business operations.
What we know:
• A bipartisan bill to end daylight saving time passed the Senate in 2022 but stalled in the House. Trump’s push may revive the effort.
• Polls show nearly 70% of Americans support making daylight saving time permanent.
What’s next: Expect this to be a headline issue as Congress debates practical and economic implications.
