House Sends Penultimate Funding Bill to President's Desk
House Sends Penultimate Funding Bill to President's Desk
by Joshua Arnold
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was doomed to eternally roll a boulder uphill, only for it to roll back down whenever it neared the top. In real life, the closest analogue may be the U.S. Congress, which seems trapped in the never-ending process of keeping the U.S. government funded, only for the deals to fall apart. But, on Tuesday afternoon, a narrow vote in the U.S. House put Congress closer to funding the government than it has come in nearly 30 years. And even that triumph nearly failed.

Can ICE Legally Raid Your House? Understanding the Immigration Agency's Warrants
by S.A. McCarthy
President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" agenda relies heavily on successfully deporting millions of illegal immigrants. While many on the political Right have warned for decades of the existential threat posed by mass immigration, some "constitutional conservatives" are now reacting with alarm to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo permitting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to enter the houses of illegal immigrants without a judicial warrant. Could such a directive possibly be legal?

The New Way of Distorting the Family: 'Platonic Co-Parenting'
The New Way of Distorting the Family: 'Platonic Co-Parenting'
by Sarah Holliday
Imagine swiping not for a soulmate, but for a casual parenting partner - someone to share diaper changes, school runs, and sleepless nights, but nothing romantic. No dates, no wedding vows, just a deliberate pact to raise kids together. Welcome to "platonic co-parenting," the trend that's apparently all the rage come 2026. The idea is straightforward. For those single by choice (often when pursuing IVF) or by life's twists and turns, the search shifts from finding a spouse to securing a reliable "co-parent teammate."

In New York's Government, the Truth Will Get You Fired
In New York's Government, the Truth Will Get You Fired
by Joshua Arnold
In progressive America, the Democratic Party's litmus test for public service is transgender ideology. And not just casual support, nor a general affirmation of "LGBTQ+ rights." Those who wish to participate in the system must embrace every last jot and tittle of the transgender agenda, specifically. For those who prefer to side with the truth, even members of other favored minority groups had better look out, lest the door hit them on the way out.

From Christ's Cross to Modern Turmoil: The Crowd That Yelled 'Crucify!'
by Sarah Holliday
The road to Calvary is lined with harrowing, blood-soaked details - the agony, the mockery, the relentless cruelty as Jesus carried His cross to the place of execution. In the Bible, as we read about Christ's crucifixion and the moments that led to it, what stands out most to you? For me, it seems to change with each reading.
