| Hawley: If Republicans Stop Fighting for Life at the Federal Level, then Dobbs Changed 'Nothing' |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| The more conservatives digest what happened in Milwaukee on Monday, the more unsettled pro-lifers seem to be. Apart from the communist-like tactics the RNC used to ram the platform through the process, there's deep dismay at the territory Republicans surrendered to Donald Trump - territory, some worry, Republicans won't get back. |

| Senate Dems' Pro-Abortion Measure Fails amid Attempts to Paint the GOP as 'Extremist' |
| by Dan Hart |
| A test vote in the Senate on a bill that would codify Roe v. Wade into federal law and nullify state pro-life protections was blocked by Republicans on Wednesday. GOP lawmakers say the effort is largely meant to distract from the Democrats' own extreme positions on abortion and to divert attention away from the flurry of news surrounding concerns over President Joe Biden's mental fitness and calls for him to exit the presidential race. |

| Podcast with Joseph Backholm and Patrick Gilliam |
| There are very few activities more unifying than sports.

| 7 States Sue HHS over New Rule Forcing Doctors to Perform Gender Procedures |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Seven states have come together to fight a new rule that could force doctors into performing gender transition procedures. The Biden administration has made it clear they want so-called "gender-affirming care" available to all - including young children. As such, it appears they're willing to try and make it so that medical professionals are unable to turn away patients seeking gender procedures. Experts say this is exactly what the rule change to the nondiscrimination provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would do. |

| by Daniel Schmid |
| In a crippling blow to the administrative state, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo to rid federal statutory interpretation of the plague that was Chevron deference, a stain on the law and a gross expansion of federal overreach that resulted from the 1984 Chevron precedent. In the ruling handed down June 28, 2024, the high court held that federal courts may not defer to an agency's interpretation of an ambiguous statute. |

| UCLA Claims It Shouldn't Be 'Ordered' to Guarantee Safety of Jewish Students |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Reports surfaced Wednesday detailing how the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) feels it shouldn't be "ordered" to protect Jewish students who are facing anti-Semitism on campus. As a result of the ongoing war between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas, several U.S. colleges and university saw an intense outbreak of hatred geared towards the nation and people of Israel. Of these campuses, UCLA witnessed, as some have described, "some of the most egregious and violent antisemitism among the dozens of ... protest[s] that swept the nation." |
