“Some Republicans are pushing for one last party-line reconciliation bill before they hand over the gavels as the current one expires on December 11th,” Hawkins wrote. “A funding bill must be passed [before] the government shuts down in December. And a 10-year defund of Planned Parenthood must be in it.”

West Hollywood has become one of the latest far-left cities to formally recognize polyamorous relationships, with the City Council voting unanimously Tuesday to establish a domestic partnership registry for groups of three or more people.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says the federal investigation involving Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar extends beyond the Minnesota congresswoman and involves multiple individuals, with the Department of Justice now overseeing the case. Speaking to Fox News on Friday, Mullin described the investigation as extensive and rejected accusations that federal authorities were targeting Omar for political reasons.

Florida Governor-elect Byron Donalds opened his victory speech Tuesday night by publicly declaring his Christian faith, thanking Jesus Christ before celebrating his historic election as the state’s first Black governor. “Before I say anything, I want to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Donalds declared before an enthusiastic crowd of supporters gathered in Hollywood, Florida. The Republican congressman defeated Democrat David Jolly in a closely contested gubernatorial race, extending Republican control of Florida’s governor’s mansion and becoming the first Black Republican elected governor in American history.

Voters on Tuesday delivered a stunning sweeping victory for Democratic incumbents and challengers across America, giving them substantial majorities in both the Senate and House and presenting President Donald Trump with the prospect of facing a flood of time-consuming subpoenas, hostile congressional inquiries, and impeachment hearings.

An atheist gang pushed an Arkansas elementary school to remove “One Nation Under GOD” from a patriotic display — rejecting an initial compromise that covered a Christian cross with an American flag. The Freedom From Religion Foundation celebrated the removal of religious language from Bergman Elementary School’s display as a victory for inclusion, according to its news release. The campaign went beyond objecting to Christian imagery. Even after the cross disappeared, the organization insisted that the familiar words from the Pledge of Allegiance remained objectionable when displayed separately.

Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, the pro-life movement has faced significant challenges at the ballot box. Unfortunately, that trend largely continued Tuesday as voters in Nevada and Virginia enshrined abortion into their state constitutions and voters in Missouri rejected an effort to reverse its pro-abortion constitutional amendment. One bright spot was Idaho, where voters turned down a measure that would have dramatically expanded abortion in the state.

Iran’s Islamic regime has reportedly executed 32 people in less than a week amid growing unrest, as human rights organizations accuse Tehran of using capital punishment to intimidate opponents and suppress dissent. The latest executions come as Iran faces mounting international condemnation over its crackdown on anti-government demonstrations. According to Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO), Iranian authorities executed at least 77 people in October, bringing the documented total to 691 during the first ten months of 2026. The organization warned that hundreds of additional reported executions remain unverified.

Alaska voters will face an unusual conundrum at the polls on Tuesday, where they will find two of the four candidates running for U.S. Senate have the same name. Incumbent Republican Dan S. Sullivan’s name will appear next to the name of Daniel J. Sullivan, Jr., a retiree living in Petersburg, Alaska (population 3,043), a census-designated place inaccessible by road. On Wednesday, no less than The New York Times published evidence suggesting that the campaign of Sullivan’s Democratic opponent, Mary Peltola, played a role in recruiting the eponymous fake candidate to confuse Republican voters.

Prosecutors across New York City’s five boroughs have been trained to pursue lesser criminal charges against illegal immigrants to reduce their chances of deportation, according to a report from the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee.

The authorities have treated some of these independent networks as unlawful organizations, using regulations on religious activity and online communications to restrict their reach. Churches that refuse to register or comply with government demands can find their meetings disrupted, their buildings closed, and their pastors and members detained. Restrictions on online religious content have also limited congregations’ ability to share sermons, teach believers, and maintain connections beyond their immediate communities.

Nearly 70 years. That’s how long the Castro dictatorship has lasted. It seized power in 1959 and has never held free elections. Despite the massive protests of July 11, 2021 and the growing pot-banging protests over the lack of basic services and freedom, the totalitarian state refuses to relinquish control.

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that California may continue processing ballots from more than 20,000 registered voters suspected by the Trump administration of being noncitizens, rejecting an emergency Justice Department request just days before the November 3 midterm elections.

In Acts 2, Peter says David was a prophet who knew God’s promise about a future Descendant and looked ahead to speak about the...

The liberty to worship, pray, and proclaim the gospel is a privilege Americans have been entrusted to steward. Despite these freedoms, Christian voter participation is actively declining. Although involvement varies between presidential and midterm elections, research suggests that in recent years, approximately 4 in 10 Christians did not turn out to vote. In a nation where religious freedom is protected, civic stewardship remains an important responsibility. This includes exercising our faith, praying for our nation, and voting according to Christian values.
