| Cracks in Trump's ICE Start to Show with Evangelicals, Hispanics |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| President Trump may be as used to the hot seat as he is to a weekend in Mar-a-Lago, but the furor over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) feels different. In the days since Minnesota protestor Alex Pretti's death, it's become clear that the White House isn't just facing outrage on its left, it's facing a reckoning on its right. |

| by Joshua Arnold |
| The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO), Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert Kennedy announced in a joint statement last Thursday.

| The Trump Administration's Inaction Motivates Pro-Lifers to Keep Marching |
| by Chuck Donovan |
| The annual pro-life march in Washington, D.C. has become a fixture in our national life. Three-and-a-half years after the reversal of Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs case, it is more evident than ever that there is need for a national expression of revulsion at the toll taken by abortion on demand. Despite the pleas of some political leaders, including President Trump, that sanctity of life issues return to their presumed status as matters for the states, life is a transcendent subject of concern to the whole country. Both sides in the debate at the 2026 March offered definitive proof. |

| by Yoe Suarez |
| Minnesota has been the center of the news in recent weeks, and not for good reasons. We have seen massive fraud funding terrorism in Africa, violence against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, two Democratic activists dead, incendiary speeches from the Minneapolis mayor and the state governor. |

| Dems' Ploy to Gerrymander Virginia Shot Down as Illegal |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| A Virginia judge is blocking the state's Democrat-controlled legislature from forcing a referendum on new congressional district maps ahead of November's midterm elections. Democrats in the General Assembly approved a measure to place new congressional district lines on the ballot in April, in an effort to have them approved for the midterm elections and net Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives extra seats, depleting the GOP's razor-thin majority. Chief Judge Jack Hurley of Virginia's Tazewell Circuit Court issued a ruling Tuesday declaring the Democrats' efforts to be illegal. |

| Education Department Finds California in Violation of Federal Parental Notification Law |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The U.S. Department of Education announced Wednesday that its Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) has found the California Department of Education (CDE) to be "in continued violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) ... for policies that pressure school officials to conceal information about students' 'gender identity.'" Chino Valley Unified School Board President Sonja Shaw, who was targeted by state officials for fighting to keep parents informed, called the ruling "a major victory for parents and a direct rebuke of California's secretive policies. The state does not have the authority to override the rights of parents." |
