Last month, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) sparred with Loren AliKhan, a pending nominee for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, over her partisan application of the law. While serving as the solicitor general for Washington, D.C., she argued that religious services posed a greater risk for COVID-19 transmission than protests to defund the police.
Two law professors have an idea for how to circumvent the Supreme Court’s repeated rulings in support of the Second Amendment: use police officers to seize guns of “dangerous” people.
EXCLUSIVE — A medical watchdog group has filed a federal civil rights complaint with the United States Department of Education alleging that a New York medical school engaged in illegal racial discrimination.
A trio of anti-abortion advocates in Missouri filed a lawsuit on Monday challenging the state auditor in an attempt to thwart a ballot initiative that would amend the constitution to protect abortion rights.
Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-OK) signed the "Women's Bill of Rights" on Tuesday. The executive order doesn't create special privileges for women; instead, it provides very clear, basic definitions of male and female and how they apply to state law.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) signed a flurry of legislation on the evening of July 28, perhaps in the hopes that the late hour and date would stifle rigorous coverage of the new laws.

Former Hunter Biden business partner and longtime friend Devon Archer’s transcribed interview before the House Oversight Committee on Monday corroborated many of the recent allegations regarding the Biden family’s foreign pay-to-play business. Paramount among them was Archer’s admission that Hunter Biden was “selling the brand,” meaning access to the second most powerful man in the U.S. government on a moment’s notice. Archer reportedly confirmed that Hunter Biden put then-Vice President Joe Biden on speakerphone at least 20 times during meetings with his foreign business associates.
Earlier this week, U.S. delegates met with Taliban officials in Qatar for the first formal talks between the groups since the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

A year ago, I wrote about the obvious connection between illegal immigration and homelessness in U.S. cities. Since then, encounters with inadmissible aliens at the border have remained at more than 150,000 a month, often over 200,000.
