WHO PANDEMIC Deal Sparks Outrage Over US Sovereignty Fears
— The World Health Organization just passed its first Pandemic Agreement at a meeting in Geneva. WHO leaders say it will help countries work together better during the next outbreak, but many are raising alarms about what it really means for America.

DEMOCRATS BLOCK Border Security Funding, Spark Outrage
— House Republicans proposed a bill to increase funding for border security, but it was blocked by Democrats. The bill aimed to allocate additional resources for border patrol agents and technology. This move has sparked outrage among conservative lawmakers who argue that securing the border is a top priority.
“It’s disappointing that our colleagues across the aisle don’t see the urgency in protecting our nation’s borders,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). He emphasized that increased funding is essential to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
Democrats argued that the proposed bill lacked comprehensive immigration reform measures, which they believe are necessary for any effective solution. They also raised concerns about the potential impact on asylum seekers and humanitarian efforts at the border.
The debate over border security continues to be a contentious issue in Congress, with both sides standing firm on their positions. As this stalemate persists, many Americans remain concerned about national security and immigration policies.
