President Trump announced an agreement with Iran that would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz and set a very different course from the Obama-era nuclear deal, promising a 60-day truce and technical talks aimed at dismantling Tehran’s enriched uranium stockpile. President Trump used Truth Social to announce that a deal with Iran was scheduled for signing and that the Strait of Hormuz, which carries up to 25 percent of the world’s oil and gas, would be “OPEN TO ALL” once the agreement was finalized. He contrasted the new approach with the 2016 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, calling that deal…

Ryan Bomberger’s life and work stand as a vivid rebuttal to a culture that treats certain human lives as disposable, using personal testimony and public argument to insist that every life has value. Ryan Bomberger knows firsthand what it means to be the inconvenient life. Yet he is the counterargument to the death culture in America. Those two facts set the tone for how he speaks, writes, and challenges institutions that accept killing as policy. His voice is blunt, personal, and unapologetically moral. He refuses the easy language that reduces people to problems to be solved, and instead insists on…

President Trump congratulated the New York Knicks on a dramatic Game 5 comeback that ended a 53-year title drought, celebrated Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, and shrugged off loud boos he received at Madison Square Garden earlier in the series. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social to salute the Knicks after they clinched the franchise’s first NBA Championship since 1970, capping a spirited 94-90 win in San Antonio. The Queens native singled out owner Jim Dolan and praised key players by name, leaning into hometown pride. The post arrived days after he attended Game 3 at Madison Square Garden and…

Federal prosecutors told the court in a concise Friday brief that judges should not get bogged down in dissecting the defendant’s every claim, arguing the court can resolve the matter without “parsing the defendant’s allegations.” The filing frames the issue as one of judicial economy and legal thresholds rather than a debate over motives or detailed factual disputes. The brief signals a push to keep the focus on law and process, not on a line-by-line struggle over the complaint. That stance could shape how the case proceeds and set expectations for how aggressively the defense must plead its claims. The…

Stocks rallied after President Donald Trump called off planned strikes on Iran, sending major indexes up, oil prices down, and leaving investors to weigh a sudden diplomatic shift against lingering questions about the deal’s details and durability. Wall Street staged a sharp rebound Thursday afternoon after President Donald Trump said he had canceled planned military strikes on Iran, citing diplomacy that reached Tehran’s top leaders. The reversal followed a bruising selloff the day before and came just hours after inflammatory posts on social media heightened fears of a wider conflict. Markets reacted quickly to the change in tone. Earlier, Trump…

State pushback against the American Bar Association has exposed how federal recognition of the group’s accreditation power effectively locks the entire U.S. legal profession into a single standard, creating a practical monopoly that reshapes careers, law schools, and the practice of law across state lines. The American Bar Association’s control over law school accreditation carries consequences beyond classroom matters, touching licensing, bar admission, and reputations nationwide. That control matters because federal recognition elevates the ABA’s decisions into something more than preferences — they become gatekeeping tools with national reach. Conservatives have long warned that this concentration of power can stifle…

President Donald Trump announced that a U.S. military operation escorted more than 100 million barrels of oil and over 200 commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz, framing the mission as a secret but decisive demonstration of American control over the waterway. President Donald Trump disclosed that a military operation he ordered last month has shepherded more than 100 million barrels of oil and over 200 commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz. He posted about the operation on Truth Social, calling it a “secret mission” and stressing that the United States, not Iran, controls the vital corridor. The announcement…

A Federalist inquiry found that the Federal Judicial Center used material influenced by a left-wing advocacy group in a manual that advises judges, raising questions about ideological input in judicial training and the need for transparency in judicial education. The Federal Judicial Center is the federal judiciary’s education and research agency, responsible for training judges and preparing guidance materials. A Federalist investigation discovered that a left-wing advocacy organization had a hand in shaping content within a manual the center distributes to judges. That revelation has stirred concern among conservatives who expect impartial resources in judicial education. The finding challenges assumptions…

Rep. Nancy Mace conceded the South Carolina GOP governor’s primary after a decisive loss that underscored how quickly political fortunes shift when a candidate breaks with powerful party allies. Rep. Nancy Mace conceded the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary Tuesday, declaring defeat less than two hours after polls closed and finishing a distant fifth. She was pulling just 11.3% of the vote when she admitted defeat, while Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette led with roughly 29% and State Attorney General Alan Wilson trailed at about 26%. Evette and Wilson advanced to a June 23 runoff, with the GOP winner heavily favored…

The United States launched strikes against Iranian targets after an American Apache helicopter was shot down, escalating tensions on Jun 11, 2026 and prompting sharp debate over the right balance between deterrence and escalation. The downing of an Apache and the U.S. strikes that followed have snapped the region into renewed instability, exposing a hard truth about modern deterrence: weakness invites risk. “The conflict has become a battle of fits.” That line captures how reactive postures and tit-for-tat responses now dominate decision making. From a Republican point of view, the strikes were a necessary demonstration of resolve to punish aggression…
