| PERKINS: A Flawed Status Quo on Israel's Judea and Samaria |
| by Tony Perkins |
| Last month, when President Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as his first foreign head of state, the president was asked about his position on Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria.

| by Joshua Arnold |
| After seven weeks of ripping through federal agencies like a wrecking ball, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had its chain shortened on Thursday, when President Donald Trump clarified in a full cabinet meeting that DOGE's role - as well as that of its chief, Elon Musk - is merely advisory. "According to two administration officials," gossiped Politico, "Trump told top members of his administration that Musk was empowered to make recommendations to the departments but not to issue unilateral decisions on staffing and policy. Musk was also in the room." |

In fact, according to The New York Times, the now-famous advertisement the Trump campaign circulated, saying, "Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you," may have shifted the election by nearly three points in Trump's favor.

| by S.A. McCarthy |
| The mayors of "sanctuary cities" recently reaffirmed their support for illegal immigration in a contentious congressional hearing. Testifying before the U.S. House Oversight Committee this week, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) refused to commit to handing illegal immigrants detained for violent crimes over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) asked Johnson, "Would you turn this criminal over to ICE on a detainer?" The Chicago mayor replied that the city's law enforcement "works hard every day to get criminals off the streets of Chicago," but did not commit to cooperating with ICE. |
