| The 3 Most Important Votes of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Vote-a-Rama |
| by Ben Johnson |
| President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" moved closer to adoption overnight, as Senate Democrats attempted to load the bill with poison pill amendments in the "vote-a-rama." During the lengthy amendment process, which began at 9 a.m. Monday morning and continues as of this writing, anyone may offer amendments to the 940-page bill. Senate changes have already made the bill less attractive to pro-life, pro-family conservatives. Yet the revised text also removes a controversial, 10-year moratorium on states regulating artificial intelligence. |

| Chief Justice Roberts Decries Judicial Threats after String of Key Rulings |
| by Evelyn Elliott |
| Twenty-six-year-old Nicholas Roske traveled all the way from California to Maryland, armed with a pistol, a knife, zip ties, and a hammer. He came to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Authorities arrested him near the justice's house back in 2022, just after the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to the public. This was just one extreme example of the threats that judges, both in the Supreme Court and lower courts, received after political leaders in the highest levels made threatening statements regarding them. |

| The War of the Machines: Peter Thiel, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Antichrist, and Technology |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Peter Thiel is a "Tech Right" billionaire, entrepreneur and venture capitalist, avid reader of "The Lord of the Rings," and sometime-mentor to sitting Vice President J.D. Vance. He came to prominence when he co-founded PayPal in 1999 and became the first outside investor in Facebook, later founding Palantir Technologies and a host of companies named after items from J.R.R. Tolkien's work. But a recent interview Thiel gave, addressing everything from political philosophy and the state of the tech industry to immortality and the Antichrist, places Thiel's worldview is at odds with the Christian values Tolkien espoused and elucidated in the books that the Silicon Valley titan claims to love so much. |

| Policy Has Consequences: Anti-Family Polices in Cuba Are Affecting Real People |
| by Yoe Suarez |
| What effect does government policy have on individual people? Can it truly shape how families live their lives? Policy change often comes so slowly that it's nearly imperceptible. But even government policies we can't perceive can have enormous - and often devastating - impact over time. Take, for example the effect of a recent policy change in Cuba. |
