It comes in the wake of the Cass Review, an independent report into transgender services, which found children were being hurried down “affirmative” pathways involving powerful drugs and medical interventions.

CHICAGO — A repeat felon on pretrial release for a Class X felony gun crime escaped from electronic monitoring and viciously attacked and robbed a 92-year-old man at an Englewood ATM last week, prosecutors said. D’Marco Roby, 26, had been held in jail for the pending armed habitual criminal case. That ended on February 24, when Judge Laura Ayala-Gonzalez, reviewing his pretrial conditions under the SAFE-T Act, rejected the state’s request to keep him in custody and sent him home on an ankle monitor, court records show. An escape warrant went out for Roby on July 3 after he allegedly...

At the close of the Supreme Court’s last term, Justice Neil Gorsuch concurred in the court’s 6-3 decision discarding the 40-year-old Chevron doctrine, which required Article III judges to defer to federal agencies when Congress’s statutory language is ambiguous. Gorsuch noted while “sophisticated entities” can hire lawyers and lobbyists to “keep pace” with ever-changing regulatory provisions, “ordinary people” cannot. It is they, wrote the associate justice from Colorado, who are the beneficiaries of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. In Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law, Gorsuch and his co-author, former Supreme Court clerk Janie Nitze, write expansively...

From turmeric to green tea, many botanicals we commonly use as herbal remedies pose a threat to our liver if we indulge too much.

Tim Walz’s (D-MN) radical record of using taxpayer dollars to ensure every male student in his state has access to more tampons than he could ever use (zero).

Tim Walz’s compassionate and common-sense policy of providing free menstrual products to students in...
