| Trump Improperly Fires Executive Branch Watchdogs |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The White House fired 18 inspectors general (IG) on Friday afternoon, concluding a virtuoso week of mostly beneficial changes on a relatively sour note. A brief email said the internal watchdogs in numerous executive branch departments - some of whom were appointed by Trump himself during his previous administration - were immediately terminated "due to changing priorities." Yet the way the firings were handled has even Republican senators asking questions. |

| 'Border Czar' Personally Leads Deportations of Criminals in Chicago |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| President Donald Trump's "border czar," Tom Homan, is not only organizing mass deportations but is on the ground leading U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in arresting thousands of illegal immigrants. Over the weekend, Homan led ICE agents in raids on Chicago, known as a "sanctuary city." The Chicago division of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) shared on Sunday that its agents are assisting in deportations, posting photos of Homan and ICE officials meeting with DEA agents. Media personality Dr. Phil McGraw has also "embedded" himself with Homan, covering the border czar's arrests. |

| Could Republicans Actually Balance the Budget? This Senator Thinks So. |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| In Donald Trump's whirlwind of a first week, very little in the federal government has been left untouched. The president is taking aim at Joe Biden's policies with laser-like precision, toppling four years of failures, international embarrassments, wokeism, and across-the-board malaise. But not everything can be done with a stroke of the president's pen, and heading into the next several days, the biggest question mark is how much he can accomplish with Congress. Could America find its way back to fiscal sanity again? America is about to find out. |

| European Law May Soon Target Americans' Free Speech |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| European bureaucrats are preparing to apply online censorship rules to American citizens in a move free speech advocates have warned is dangerous. Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) debated expanding the Digital Services Act (DSA) last week, according to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International. The controversial DSA went into effect in February and already mandates the removal of illegal content from social media platforms, but MEPs are now looking at expanding the scope of the legislation to "protect democracy" in Europe from "foreign interference," specifically pointing to tech billionaire Elon Musk and X (formerly Twitter). |

| Congressman Reintroduces FACE Act Repeal: A 'Sword against Pro-Lifers' |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| On Friday, pro-lifers were met with the news that President Donald Trump fulfilled his promise of pardoning the 23 pro-life advocates who were prosecuted by the Biden-Harris administration. The president said it was "a great honor" to grant the pardons, and his decision has been celebrated by many. However, as many have pointed out, the Federal Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act is what was used to put those pro-lifers in jail, "a move legal experts said is unprecedented." |
