⚖️ Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship. In a 5-4 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberal bloc to rule that children born to illegal aliens and foreign “birth tourists” are American citizens. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a scathing 90-page dissent, warning the ruling incentivizes illegal entry and stretches the 14th Amendment far beyond its original purpose. |
🏅 SCOTUS lets states protect women’s sports. In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court held that states may restrict girls’ sports to biological females under Title IX. More than two dozen states already have such laws banning transgender-identifying individuals from girls’ sports, and the decision cements their legal footing. |
🗳️ Socialist defeats Democrat incumbent in Colorado. Melat Kiros, a DSA member and first-time candidate, toppled 15-term Rep. Diana DeGette in the congressional primary. Kiros has called for abolishing ICE and described 9/11 as "inevitable.” This marks the latest in a string of socialist victories, signaling trouble for establishment Democrats nationwide. |
🚢 Oman rejects Iran-backed Hormuz tolls. Oman said it will not support Iranian efforts to impose fees on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, insisting any arrangement must comply with international law and guarantee free navigation. France pledged to help clear mines from the route, as US and Iranian officials continue talks in Doha. |

EDITOR’S NOTE |
Another American hero: Dennis Prager (plus, a quick ask) |
|
|
The past few weeks, we’ve spent our time talking about great Americans — people whose lives and ideas have shaped the country we live in. Of course, we can’t talk about everyone. But there’s one figure we especially wanted to pause on: Dennis Prager. |
For decades, Prager has been one of the most influential voices in American life. Not just in politics, but in how millions of Americans think about their own country. He’s made the case, consistently and unapologetically, for approaching America with respect, gratitude, and joy. |
And for many of us, he’s done something even more personal: he’s pushed us to get closer to our faith and to think seriously about the role faith should play in how we govern ourselves. You can see his fingerprints all over the movement today, like Charlie Kirk’s own emphasis on the Sabbath. Brandon and I owe our own religious journeys to him, too. |
As many of you know, Prager has been recovering from a serious spinal injury that left him paralyzed. He is still writing, talking, and fighting with gratitude. In the past few weeks, he’s had some very difficult medical challenges. This nation needs more voices like Prager’s, and I ask you to join us in prayer for him. |
