Students for Life of America spokesperson Lydia Taylor Davis held a speaking event Monday on my campus, the University of Mary Washington, during her “Make Gen Z Anti-Abortion” tour. I’m on the leadership team of Students for Life of America’s University of Mary Washington chapter. Throughout the weeks leading up to that event, our flyers advertising it were frequently taken down by other students. In light...

The election success enjoyed by Democrats in New York City, New Jersey, Virginia, and California have buoyed optimism in the Party. Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn) said "the blue wave validates our strategy of keeping the government closed until our Party's demands are met. Essential personnel in areas of national defense and air traffic control are not getting paid. Sooner or later they will have to stop working for the government and get other jobs just to pay their bills. Folks dependent on welfare will balk at the Trump Administration's continued efforts to enforce the legislatively enacted work requirements for able-bodied...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Friday that Democrats would vote to end the government shutdown in exchange for a one-year extension of expiring ACA tax credits, multiple sources told Axios.

A higher power will hand down judgment for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk, his widow Erika Kirk believes, and she doesn’t want a role in deciding whether he should receive the death penalty if he is convicted. “I do not want this man’s blood on my ledger when I stand before the Lord,” she told Fox News’ Jesse Watters in an interview aired Wednesday evening. “I want the government to decide. It’s Biblical too. Justice will ultimately be served.”

In 1958, Mao Zedong launched his Great Leap Forward, a massive push to transform China from an agricultural society to an industrial one, aiming to compete with the West. Mao's goal was to surpass British industrial output within 15 years, and that political goal took priority over even human lives. Poor Chinese were moved into collectives that stripped them of private land, livestock, and tools. Farmers were forced into work building primitive steel furnaces while crops and livestock were neglected, and the government seized excess grain for export or urban stores. Less than a year after the Great Leap Forward...

In the same exchange, Jones suggested Gilbert was 'breeding little fascists' — a disturbing reference to the Speaker's two young children. Jones looked poised for a loss in polling conducted in the final weeks of the race.

Most Americans expect political violence to keep growing in the United States and believe that it is likely a political candidate will be assassinated in the next few years. Widespread pessimism about political violence is a rare, grim point of consensus in a country riven by political and cultural divisions.

That figure underscores just how much the spate of attacks — from the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk earlier this year to the attempts on President Donald Trump’s...
