| Red Hats and Red Lines: Why the MAGA House Must Not Divide over Israel |
| by Tony Perkins |
| The political grapevine in Washington has been buzzing with voices from the isolationist wing of the Right - voices eager to distance the United States from Israel. But despite that noise, President Trump has, to his credit, consistently arrived at the right conclusions when it comes to our alliance with the Jewish state in his second term. Now more than ever, the conservative movement must speak with clarity, not confusion. Republicans cannot afford to fracture over one of the clearest moral and strategic alliances in American foreign policy. A house divided - especially over Israel - cannot stand. |

| The Israeli War through the Media's Broken Lens |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| A picture is worth a thousand misconceptions - at least where the conflict in Gaza is concerned. In the war behind the war, the sweeping campaign of anti-Israel disinformation, Palestinian sympathizers are working overtime in the media to warp and shift public opinion about what's actually happening. So far, it's worked. World leaders, all-too eager to make the Jewish state the bully, have latched onto the heart-wrenching images of starving, pained, or wounded women and children. But how much of it is real? An investigation from two German newspapers insists: not much. |

| New York City's $65M Transgender Shelter: A Misguided Use of Taxpayer Dollars? |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| New York City is funneling $65 million in taxpayer funds into "Ace's Place," a Long Island City, Queens shelter exclusively for homeless individuals identifying as transgender or gender non-conforming (TGNC). Set to run through 2030, this first-of-its-kind facility - born from a 2021 settlement with a trans-identifying activist - prioritizes a small demographic while the city's broader homeless population struggles in an underfunded, overstretched shelter system. |

| Right to Abortion Pill Reversal Upheld in Colorado amid Drug's Nationwide Spread |
| by Dan Hart |
| In a court ruling being hailed as a victory for women with unplanned pregnancies to be given more options, a Colorado district court last week permanently blocked a state law that prohibited health care providers from administering medication to reverse the effects of the abortion pill. The pro-life victory comes in the shadow of the continued proliferation of abortion drugs being illegally shipped into states with pro-life laws. |

| Florida Takes Pornographers to Court for Ignoring Age Verification Law |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Authorities in the Sunshine State are moving to uphold state law and protect children from the scourge of pornography. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) announced a lawsuit this week against major pornography websites for violating the state's age verification law, which went into effect on January 1. Florida's HB 3 law requires pornographic websites to verify that individuals attempting to access those pornographic websites are 18 years of age or older. Shortly before going into effect, the law prompted PornHub, the world's largest pornographic website, to cease operations in Florida. |

| Federal Judge Strikes Down California's Deepfake Law |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| In 2024, an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated parody video of former Vice President Kamala Harris sparked controversy across the internet. California officials, not thrilled with its spread, responded by enacting AB 2839, known as the "Defending Democracy From Deepfake Deception Act of 2024," which imposed restrictions on election-related parody videos. The law faced immediate backlash and legal challenges, culminating in a ruling on Tuesday from U.S. District Judge John Mendez, who ultimately struck it down. |
