| PERKINS: Man Cannot Live on Business Alone |
| by Tony Perkins |
| The world witnessed the quintessential President Donald Trump as he brokered major deals with leaders in Saudi Arabia and Qatar. I'm reminded of my first meeting with President Trump at the White House during his first administration. The meeting started late because he was personally negotiating the cost of a military aircraft contract. It was clear then - as it is now - that this is the president's "happy place." And for good reason: over his 78 years, he's been remarkably successful at it. |

| Hawley Hauls the FDA Toward Accountability on the Abortion Drug |
| by Chuck Donovan |
| With a new study confirming the high hazard rate for women and girls taking the abortion pill regimen, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced a bill that will direct the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to restore safety measures on the mifepristone-misoprostol drug cocktail. The proposal comes in the midst of renewed controversy for a drug now responsible for two-thirds or more of U.S. abortions. It comes as well in the midst of mixed signals from the Trump administration, whose recent appointees have faced strict scrutiny from the Missouri Republican who has consistently led efforts in Congress to limit the harms of abortion. |

| by Dan Hart |
| The continuing saga of the unsuccessful ceasefire negotiations between Ukraine and Russia dragged on Friday as Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to appear in person for peace talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Istanbul, Turkey.

| Jesus Returns, Voters Get Chance to Protect Babies, and More: 3 Stories You Missed |

| 'Gross Violation of the First Amendment': Judge Strikes Down Biden-Era Trans Workplace Policies |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| A federal judge has just determined that workplace "protections" for employees who identify as transgender are unlawful. On Thursday, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas handed down an order vacating guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in 2024 that allowed biological men to use women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers in workplaces; required employers to allow transgender-identifying employees to dress in a manner inconsistent with their biological sex; and classified as workplace "harassment" referring to transgender-identifying individuals using their birth name or biological pronouns. |
