Welcome to the seventeenth issue of the Political Awareness Newsletter. We begin with a message from the editor, followed by a wide range of articles examining key political, legal, and global issues. Featured pieces explore topics such as the ongoing situation in Sudan, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, emerging challenges related to AI cooling and energy use, and current immigration policies, alongside several additional articles addressing other timely policy debates and developments.

As we reflect on the year and the many issues shaping our world, we hope this issue encourages thoughtful discussion and informed engagement. We also wish all of our readers a warm, safe, and happy holiday season.
