🇺🇸🇩🇪⚡️ — Lockheed Martin reports that the first multi-role, 5th generation fighter jet, the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II (MG-01), for the German Air Force has been manufactured at the Fort Worth plant in Texas, USA.

The aircraft still needs to undergo plastering (painting, special coating) before it begins testing. A presentation is also likely to be held.

The contract for the acquisition of 35 F-35A fighter jets for the German Air Force was signed in December 2022. The total cost is €8.3 billion, including weapons, spare engines, a comprehensive package of specialized equipment and spare parts, logistical support, and personnel training.

🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️ — The United States has imposed sanctions on the President of the International Criminal Court, Tomoko Akane, and one of the organization's lawyers, Abdoulaye Seye, as part of a "mission to protect Americans from this sham court," according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Netanyahu supported Washington's decision and expressed gratitude to Rubio for his efforts in this regard.

The Dutch Foreign Minister, Tom Berendsen, on the other hand, did not support the sanctions against the ICC officials.

🇺🇸⚡️ — CNN has just acknowledged that, due to redistricting efforts by the Republican party, Democrats will need to win the national popular vote in 2026 by a margin of 3-4 percentage points to have a chance.

"To gain control of the House of Representatives, with the current district boundaries... they would need to win by less than 1 percentage point... But now, after the redistricting, look at this... Democrats need to win by a margin of 3 to 4 percentage points. Democrats can't just win by a small margin to regain control of the House."

🇺🇸⚡️ — More and more bills are being introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that have been generated by artificial intelligence, forcing congressional lawyers to correct proposals containing legal errors, incorrect citations, and vague or overly complex language, according to POLITICO.

The House of Representatives' legislative review office is spending more time correcting some AI-generated bills than it would take to draft them from scratch, further increasing their already heavy workload.

Errors creeping into bills can delay the passage of laws, lead to lawsuits, or create ambiguous laws that are difficult for courts and federal agencies to interpret. This is happening as congressional staff and outside organizations increasingly turn to tools like ChatGPT and Claude to create legislative language.
