Introduced in September of 2025, the Chloe Cole Act, named for the young woman who bravely speaks out against "gender affirming care," would prohibit health care providers, clinics, and hospitals from carrying out or facilitating "gender transition" procedures on minors, and allow those harmed to bring suit with an extended statute of limitations of 25 years beyond the minor's 18th birthday.

Armed with what seemed like a guiding light in the dark room of biological rejection, Jonathan Zinski contended that Liberty University is required under Bostock to hire him, continue to employ him, and even publicly affirm his rejection of biological reality regardless of what Scripture says. When Liberty terminated Zinski's employment, he sued.

Every commander learns to watch for indicators before a crisis fully develops. In America's classrooms, those indicators are already flashing. A recent RAND Corporation study found that the share of students using artificial intelligence (AI) for homework jumped from 48 to 62% in just seven months. More telling: 67% of those same students believe the technology is weakening their critical thinking. The generation most dependent on AI is also the generation most worried about what it is doing to them. That combination should give every parent and pastor serious pause.

The Senate is engaged in heating debate and dispute over a key election integrity bill - and the amendments that Republicans are trying to add to it to bolster protections for the American people. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) brought the SAVE America Act to the floor last week, more than one month after the legislation had been approved by the House of Representatives and amidst increasing pressure from both the House and President Donald Trump to approve the bill. On Saturday, Senate Democrats shot down a proposed amendment that would have barred biological males from competing in girls' sports.

The federal government is launching an investigation into reported violations of abortion-related conscience protections by more than a dozen states. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Thursday that its Office of Civil Rights (OCR) will probe 13 states - California, Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington - over alleged violations of the Weldon Amendment, a federal provision which bars state governments from withholding public health care funds from health care providers who refuse to carry out or refer patients for abortions.

A wing of the nation's abortion giant is agreeing to pay $500,000 due to a federal racial discrimination investigation. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced on Thursday that Planned Parenthood of Illinois "violated federal law when they segregated employees by race, subjected white employees to harassment, and engaged in disparate treatment against white employees regarding terms, conditions, and privileges of employment," leading the abortion behemoth to pay a substantial fine to end the investigation.

For most international athletes, the biggest concern is losing the game. For Iranian women, the real fear is losing your life. That's how dangerous the situation has become for a group of national soccer players, whose story at Australia's Asia Cup quickly became the very human face of the regime at war with America. Torn by the chance to run from the cruelty of their homeland, but knowing their families could die for it, all but two girls made the ultimate sacrifice - turning their backs on a chance for freedom to embrace a fate even they know is uncertain.

Just how ignorant are Americans about what goes on in Washington? The Democrats' latest messaging barrage is certainly testing those limits. In a strategy that would be comical if it weren't so pathetic, both minority leaders are suggesting that it's the Republicans' fault that Homeland Security isn't funded. Republicans! The same party that's held six straight votes since Valentine's Day to reopen the agency and protect the nation's homeland, unsuccessfully. "That's what they do, right?" Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said of the finger-pointing. "And they're good at it. ... The big difference is, they have 90% of the legacy media backing them up."

A startling new report surfaced this week revealing that China's communist regime hacked into U.S. voter registration databases in 2020 and planned to use the information to produce thousands of fake American driver's licenses in order to obtain mail-in ballots, with the purpose of casting fraudulent votes for former President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

No parent should have to endure the ordeal faced by Daniel and Bianca Samson, who just lost an appeal before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to regain custody of two of their daughters. Even after the Samsons were certified as fit parents, state officials refuse to return their children to their care. They were accused of "religious extremism," after all. For a secularist, could any abuse be worse than that?

When bested in debate, progressives often retreat to the safe and comfortable ground of ad hominem attacks, accusing their opponents of racism, sexism, and Nazism. In 2023, Lutheran minister, Iowa representative, and now congressional candidate Sarah Trone Garriott (D), repeated all the same attacks - albeit in mild form - with her own unique twist sure to provoke head-scratching: "It's Billy Graham's fault."
