| Why Schumer's Shutdown Could be the Death of Obamacare |
| by Mark Tapscott |
| When Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) opted to force the October 1 shutdown of the federal government to protect Biden-era Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax subsidies, he doubtless saw himself as saving the government health care program informally bearing former President Barack Obama's name. Instead, Schumer's decision put an unprecedented national spotlight on the reality of Obamacare's many failures. |

| Olympic Committee Ready to Slam the Door on Men in Women's Events |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| The faces that history remembers from the Olympic Games aren't usually the crushing disappointments. There are a few exceptions, of course. U.S. speed skater Dan Jansen, who tore our hearts open when he fell after learning his sister had died of cancer hours earlier, was one. Derek Redman's father racing down the stands to comfort his crying son on the track was another. In an emotional moment, we watched as Derek, held by his dad after tearing his hamstring, crossed the line together. But in 2024, the world witnessed a different kind of defeat - one that has the power to change the Games forever. |

| by Joshua Arnold |
| President Donald Trump has granted widespread clemency to the people involved in his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election, even if they were not accused of a crime, a Justice Department official announced Sunday.

| Outstanding - The Importance of the Filibuster (Ep. 218) |
| Podcast with Casey Harper, Quena Gonzalez and Suzanne Bowdey |
| Every member of the Senate has a tool that allows them to single handedly bring the government to a screeching halt. Host Casey Harper is joined by Family Research Council's Quena Gonzalez and The Washington Stand's Suzanne Bowdey to discuss an interesting political tool and tactic: the filibuster. Created in the early years of American government to remove the ability to end debate, the filibuster has been used by both Republicans and Democrats throughout the years. The three discuss what it is, how does it maintain balance in the Senate, and if it were removed what are the unintended consequences for a short term gain, but long term consequences. |

| State, County, and City Officials Nixing 'Sanctuary' Policies to Avoid Trump Admin. Ire |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| As President Donald Trump and his administration continue enforcing federal immigration law, several "sanctuary" jurisdictions have opted to reverse course and rescind policies barring state and local police from assisting federal agents. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Monday that Nevada has been removed from the Trump administration's public list of "sanctuary" jurisdictions after 17 sheriffs, under the leadership of Governor Joe Lombardo (R), recommitted to cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), honoring ICE detainers, and assisting in the arrests of illegal immigrants. |

| It's Not If, But When, Obergefell Will Be Overturned |
| by Mat Staver |
| On Monday morning, the Supreme Court declined to hear Davis v. Ermold, marking the end of a decade-long legal battle for Kim Davis, the first victim jailed, sued, and held personally liable post-Obergefell v. Hodges for her religious beliefs on marriage. This denial is heartbreaking for Kim Davis and is a miscarriage of justice. Refusing to take up this case is a stark departure from the Constitution the court purports to protect. |
