Pete Hegseth Delivers State of the Force Address Targeting Woke Policies

Senate Democrats Block GOP Bill on Stock Trading Ban
A reader of Daily Caller or the New York Post would never learn that a stricter ban covering future presidents already failed in committee, with Hawley the only Republican in favor. This week's 53-47 is told as Democrats blocking a ban, not as the second time a trading bill collapsed.
Supreme Court to Review ICE Mandatory Detention Policy
Neither Fox News nor The Federalist gives a headcount for the policy the Court took up. NBC News puts the number already detained at thousands.

OpenAI launched Dots for paying Pro and Enterprise users the same week it apologized to Australia over Medicare websites, a pairing Business Insider's launch piece never makes.

A Bloomberg reader hears only that Trump launched a campaign blitz in Texas. The New York Post reports Paxton is trailing and that Trump never brought him onstage.

Trump Regrets Nominating Supreme Court Justices Gorsuch Barrett Kavanaugh
OAN never reports that Trump's problem with Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett was loyalty. Bloomberg does, so the loyalty charge is not in every version of this story.

ABC News presented Trump's Time interview as the first public yes on pardoning administration members; right-leaning outlets had not reported the answer.
