| Senator Shares 4 Features of a Good Iran Deal |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The world waits to hear whether the latest apparent breakthrough in U.S.-Iran negotiations has actually made progress or is another exercise in dashed hopes. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Friday that the two sides had crafted a "final, agreed-upon text of the peace deal," but the substance of that text seems to vary based on which side is talking. With so many claims circulating about the deal, it is difficult to know what it contains until the final version is signed and published. However, it is less difficult to ascertain what features would make the deal a good one. |

| Red States Demand EPA Take Action to Protect Women from Abortion Drug Water Contamination |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| Republicans are calling on federal authorities to impose stringent regulations on the abortion drug mifepristone, citing the dangers posed by the drug's largely unregulated use to Americans' drinking water. A coalition of 15 red state attorneys general is urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to add mifepristone to the agency's Contaminant Candidate List, which would likely trigger safety studies and potentially stricter regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act. The latest state to join the effort was Indiana. |

| 30 Trillion Reasons Sex Can't Change |
| by Walt Heyer |
| In the 1980s, I fell for the idea that I could make myself to be female even though I am male. I took cross-sex hormones, had numerous surgeries to feminize my bodily appearance, and for 8 years, identified as Laura Jensen, female. I came to realize that none of it changed my male body into a biological female. I knew I was a fake and not really a female. |

| The European Mind Comprehends America - And Falls in Love |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| As an American with friends and family in and from Europe, it pains me to see so many Europeans misunderstand my homeland, malign my homeland, and fail to see the European roots from which America sprang. This year's World Cup, hosted by America, has therefore been a joy to witness. Again, I am not talking about the soccer. I don't think I've actually watched a game of soccer since my little sister played on the local co-op team a decade or so ago. No, I'm talking about watching Europeans discover America - and fall absolutely in love with my homeland. |
