| EXCLUSIVE: Senator Previews SCOTUS Chemical Abortion Oral Arguments |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) sweeping deregulation of chemical abortion in 2016 and 2021. A coalition of doctors convinced "all six judges that have opined on the merits of this case" (FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine) that "FDA's 2016 Major Changes and 2021 actions were unlawful," according to the respondents' (the alliance of doctors) brief. Oklahoma Senator James Lankford (R) sat down with TWS to talk about the importance of the case. |

| Knives Out after the Senate's Brutal Rewrite of House Spending Bills |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| Unfortunately for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), life doesn't get any easier after last week's excruciating spending negotiations. Believe it or not, the $1.2 trillion dollar monstrosity that funded the government (a "total abomination" according to conservatives) was just the warm-up act for the Fiscal Year 2025 budgets, which House leaders will have to pivot too almost immediately. "Yes, of course we're behind," House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-Pa.) told reporters. And after the deflating product Congress agreed to over the weekend, there won't be much appetite to go back to the drawing board. |

| Outstanding - Ep. 83: The War on Language - How to Discern the Truth |
| Podcast with Joseph Backholm and Ben Johnson |
| Words are a powerful tool that can inspire, but they can also be twisted and taken out of context. In a recent speech, former president Donald Trump stated that if he did not win the 2024 presidential election, there would be a "bloodbath". He did not mean a physical bloodbath, but an economic one. This did not stop every large news outlet in the country from headlining his supposed endorsement of violence. Host Joseph Backholm is joined by The Washington Stand's Ben Johnson for a discussion about the war on language and how to discern the truth from the lies. We must continue to speak the truth no matter the cost. |

| As Israel Eyes Last Hamas Stronghold, Experts Urge Biden to Support Netanyahu |
| by Dan Hart |
| Over the weekend, the Biden administration ratcheted up its rhetoric against Israel's fight against the terrorist group Hamas, as Vice President Kamala Harris declared that there could be "consequences" for Israel if it invades the southernmost Gazan city of Rafah, which remains the last major stronghold of Hamas. Experts and lawmakers say that despite the difficult situation in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees are encamped, the U.S. must support Israel's military efforts to rid Gaza of Hamas in the wake of the terrorist group's October 7 atrocities. |

| Married People More Likely to Be 'Thriving': Gallup Survey |
| by Ben Johnson |
| A new Gallup survey has found that, over more than a decade, one variable has consistently predicted whether people described themselves as "thriving": marriage. Married couples are more likely to be happy today, anticipate future happiness, and have a "strong and loving" relationship with their children than cohabiting partners. |
