‘Disrespectful Violations’ Prompt Ute Tribe to Close 4 Million Acres to Nontribal Hunters, Anglers, Campers: The Ute Indian Tribe has terminated all active nonmember hunting, fishing, and recreation permits for its 4-plus million acres of tribal lands in the Uintah Basin of northeastern Utah, an area that’s twice the size of Yellowstone National Park. The Tribe has also set “an indefinite moratorium” on issuing any new permits for nonmembers.

# Border / Immigration / Migrants
GOP says Biden has all the power he needs to control the border. The reality is far more complicated: The package, which pairs border enforcement policy with wartime aid for Ukraine, Israel and other U.S. allies, would be the most significant immigration legislation in a decade. It has the potential, for better or worse, to transform some of the most vexing border problems.

Republicans will never get another border security deal this good: The Republican Party should take yes for an answer. By torpedoing the Senate’s bipartisan immigration deal, under pressure from former president Donald Trump to preserve his election-year advantage on a wedge issue, congressional Republicans would blow an opportunity to reduce undocumented immigration and curtail mass crossings at the southern border — along with save Ukraine before it runs out of ammunition.

Biden Blames Trump as Border Deal Collapses: With Republican opposition to a $118 billion security bill growing, President Joe Biden called out former president Donald Trump for undermining the bipartisan agreement, and vowed to make sure that Americans know who to blame if the legislation fails to become law.

Texas officials: Border bill would codify mass migration, strip states of self-defense rights: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and other leaders in Texas strongly oppose a Senate border bill introduced by Democrats, arguing it codifies mass migration into the United States and strips states of their constitutional right to self-defense

Trump, GOP Governors’ Border Threats Smack of Sedition: The Constitution and Supreme Court are clear and Trump isn’t the president. The US is edging closer to a constitutional crisis than it’s come in years, thanks to a pack of rogue red state governors determined to follow the cynical demands of a one-time president desperate to regain power.

The REAL Threat at Our Border: Trump, Republican governors, and MAGA media have summoned their armed fanatics to the Rio Grande. Meanwhile, because enormous, unmanageable numbers of migrants are arriving in America, thanks in part to various crises for which the United States bears historic responsibility, the Biden White House undertook negotiations with certain willing Republicans in the Senate to clarify immigration rules, adequately fund their enforcement, and keep vulnerable people from suffering biblical levels of misery under our care.

New border security bill would strip Texas of its powers, and Republicans dubbed it a disaster: After the highly anticipated bipartisan border deal was revealed, conservatives reacted to the part that would reportedly strip Texas of its border security powers.

A record number of Americans can’t afford their rent. Lawmakers are scrambling to help: Lawmakers are working on a bill that would expand a federal program that awards tax credits to housing developers who agree to set aside units for low-income tenants. Supporters say that could lead to the construction of 200,000 more affordable homes. The latest data from the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, released in January, found that a record high 22.4 million renter households, or half of renters nationwide, were spending more than 30% of their income on rent in 2022. The number of affordable units, with rents under $600, also dropped to 7.2 million that year, 2.1 million fewer than a decade earlier.

There’s a Tax Season Villain, and It’s Not the I.R.S.: But we’re here to convince you that the I.R.S. is not the problem: Yes, it should be easy to file taxes. And yes, it should be free. That’s how it works in the rest of the developed world, and it could very easily work that way here, too. It is absurd that America’s tax system is so antiquated and complicated that most people must pay someone else to help them pay the government. So what is standing in the way of progress?

Hamas Proposes 135-Day Gaza Truce With Complete Israeli Withdrawal: Hamas has proposed a ceasefire to quiet the guns in Gaza for four-and-a-half months, during which all hostages would go free, Israel would withdraw its troops from the Gaza Strip and an agreement would be reached on an end to the war.

Netanyahu rejects Hamas’ ceasefire demands, including release of 1,500 Palestinians for hostages: “Hamas’ answer was formulated so that Israel would refuse it,” Israel’s defense minister said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday rejected Hamas’ terms for a cease-fire and hostage-release agreement, calling them “delusional,” a position that complicates efforts to strike a deal between the sides. Netanyahu vowed to press ahead with Israel’s war against Hamas, now in its fifth month

Critics say border bill would send $60B to Ukraine. Here’s where it’s really going: The majority of funding would be used to restock the U.S. military’s inventory after it sent weapons to Kyiv. Most of the money dedicated to Ukraine, however, won’t leave the U.S. Instead, tens of billions of dollars will fill Pentagon coffers to purchase new weapons from U.S. companies to refill inventories that have been tapped to help Ukraine, finance military operations and sign contracts for new weapons for Kyiv.

The quiet way health insurance companies have made it harder to get medical necessities covered: Many companies have adopted a stricter rules-based approach for what they do and don’t cover. The language in many insurance policies is changing to say they only cover treatments based strictly on the conditions specified in their medical guidelines. This may make it easier for insurers to deny care, and harder for consumers to appeal denials.
