Editor's Note:

Welcome to Volume XVIII! This week we're covering a wide range of critical issues from immigration policy and Supreme Court decisions to international conflicts and economic policy. The Supreme Court's recent ruling on deportations has raised serious concerns about due process and constitutional rights, while the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to escalate with aid distribution becoming increasingly militarized. Our coverage also includes the ongoing protests in Los Angeles over ICE raids, the latest developments in Ukraine's war effort, and an in-depth analysis of fiscal austerity policies in Germany and the UK. Plus, we have our regular executive order reports covering the Trump administration's latest policy moves. As always, thank you for reading and supporting independent journalism.
