Republicans are highlighting the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed July 4, 2025, which extends 2017 tax cuts and adds breaks like no federal taxes on tips and overtime through 2028, plus relief for seniors. Official Treasury estimates show average cuts of $1,000 to $3,750 per filer, with IRS data reporting average refunds up 14.2% to $2,476 as of February 13. They tie these to broader gains like 2.4% inflation, $2.92 gas prices, and a 21% drop in homicides, though Democrats argue the benefits skew to the wealthy when paired with tariffs.

Key Takeaway

Speaker Mike Johnson beamed on Fox News, telling viewers the new tax cuts deliver about $10,000 more in take-home pay for average households amid falling prices.

A24's Deep Cuts, Sean Durkin's adaptation of Holly Brickley's 2005-set novel about music-loving friends Percy (Cailee Spaeny) and Zoe chasing dreams, saw a casting change when backlash hit over A’zion's role. Over 100 Latino artists, including Eva Longoria and John Leguizamo, signed an open letter calling for authentic representation, and A’zion graciously exited. Barer, known from The Last of Us and How to Blow Up a Pipeline, expressed pure excitement, while A’zion cheered her on, turning the moment into a positive one amid broader Hollywood talks on ethnic accuracy.

Key Takeaway

Odessa A’zion stepped aside from the role of half-Mexican, half-Jewish Zoe after realizing she hadn't read the book, paving the way for Ariela Barer, whose own Mexican-American Jewish background matches perfectly.

Ukrainian police in the port city began stopping men dressed in traditional Hasidic Jewish clothing on December 8 to verify identities, after reports emerged of evasion tactics exploiting past oversights toward religious garb. The Black Sea hub's historic Jewish community provided a convenient cover, but routine ID checks ended the ploy, as noted by local historian Marta Havryshko with wry humor about men so bold even theater troupes took notes. Ukraine's mobilization crisis deepens nearly four years into the war, with aggressive recruitment by territorial centers amid widespread evasion and no exemptions for religious beliefs, as affirmed by the Supreme Court in May.

Key Takeaway

In Odesa, police calmly surrounded men in long black coats and hats by a patrol car, methodically checking documents amid reports of draft dodgers borrowing the disguise.

After Israel recognized Somaliland's independence in December 2025, the self-declared republic invited Greece to establish a presence at Berbera, near a strait handling 12 percent of world trade disrupted by Houthi attacks since late 2023. The port, partly run by Dubai's DP World, has grown with rising container volumes, and analysts see potential for Greece's massive merchant fleet to help secure shipping lanes against threats from Houthis and others. While Turkey and Somalia oppose the moves, Greek commentators welcome practical ties in ports and security, though Athens has not yet responded officially.

Key Takeaway

Somaliland's leaders reached out to Greece, calling it a 'maritime titan' to partner at the strategic Berbera port right by the busy Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
