Manhattan rents have reached another record high, with the average apartment now costing $6,655 per month, according to new figures from Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group and as first reported by the New York Post. The latest numbers represent a 10 percent increase from the same period last year and come as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pushes policies aimed at limiting rent increases for roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments across the city.

The U.S. Department of Education is telling colleges and universities it’s time to show their policies and practices put education first. Education Secretary Linda McMahon issued a National Call to Action asking university presidents and governing boards to publicly lay out their commitments to strengthening higher education by the end of 2026.

When Bethany’s major was just “Music Education,” she qualified. But when she changed her major to “Music & Worship,” the state said she was no longer eligible. “Excluding students from a state scholarship or grant simply because their choice of major is religious is discriminatory,” said Jeremy Dys, Senior Counsel for First Liberty. Bethany is simply asking for the same freedom every other student enjoys: the right to choose her course of study.

Both Cunningham and Smith are correct. We’ve got to have common sense. Just because a man says he is a woman doesn’t make it true. The human body testifies to that fact. The 30 trillion cells of the human body are either male or female. No amount of hormones or number of surgeries can alter the body’s cells and systems to effect a change from one sex to the other.

President Donald Trump celebrated the move in a post announcing that Medicaid would no longer fund gender-transition surgeries or hormones for minors. “We are not going to pay for our innocent children to undergo these barbaric surgeries and practices,” Trump wrote, arguing that the procedures can cause irreversible harm. Trump also stated that pressure from his administration had already prompted dozens of hospitals across the country to discontinue such procedures and predicted that additional institutions would follow.

I wonder if people ask you, like they ask me, “Why do you focus so much on Israel? Why not focus only on the gospel and how to live out our Christian lives today?” The gospel, our assurance of salvation, and the fulfillment of God’s promises are all tied to Israel. That’s why Israel matters so much! And that’s why teaching about Israel and eschatology is not only necessary but essential to our understanding of God’s Word and the hope we have in our soon-coming Savior, Israel’s Messiah, Jesus Christ.

The state of Massachusetts has enacted a radical abortion law that allows for a baby to be killed up until the moment of birth. Thanks to the Prioritizing Patient Care Act, medical personnel are legally protected to abort babies beyond 24 weeks gestation upon request. Healey hosted a press conference on Monday, surrounded by a group of joyful women as she made the announcement that will undoubtedly lead to the death of more children. “Abortion is healthcare” read the sign hung on the podium Healey spoke from. Massachusetts is the tenth state to allow abortion up to birth. 

Republican Sens. Ron Johnson and Rand Paul have released the first set of text messages recovered from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government-issued phone, offering a look at private discussions among senior health officials about the COVID-19 vaccine and pregnancy.

The U.S. Department of Justice released updated guidance strengthening federal protections for religious liberty. The DOJ’s updated memorandum, released on July 23, revises and expands the department’s 2017 Religious Liberty Guidelines in light of significant developments over the last nine years.

This year, Tennessee rose to second place in the 2026 Religious Liberty in the States index, up from tenth place in 2025. The state now protects 85% of the religious liberty safeguards measured by the index, earning an “excellent” rating alongside first-place Arkansas. Tennessee improved largely because lawmakers enacted the Medical Ethics Defense Act. The law protects healthcare professionals and institutions from being forced to participate in or pay for medical services that violate their religious or moral convictions.

Wars, political upheaval, natural disasters, and events involving Israel often lead Christians to ask: Are we watching Bible prophecy unfold? It is not wrong...

The study of “last things” (eschatology) seems to have fallen out of favor in many corners of the modern church. With a dismissive reference to no one knowing the day or hour of Christ’s return, many Christians assume that studying eschatology is not something most churches, or even individual Christians, really need to take seriously. I repeatedly hear students in my classes claim that Scripture is too unclear on the details or timing of the Rapture, or whether Christians will go through the Tribulation, or the nature of the Millennial Kingdom, to make studying these things worth their time. Is studying eschatology largely irrelevant to our walk with God?

As designed by the Framers, life tenure for Supreme Court justices has worked well for more than 230 years and is an essential component to ensure judicial independence. Judicial term limits would destroy one of the hallmark features built into our system of government. When calling for judicial term limits, the far Left and their politicians do what they frequently do: play fast and loose with the text of the Constitution. Virtually every time they do not like what the Constitution or one of the Court’s opinions says, they try to change the rules and disguise extreme changes as “reform.”

I reached out to the school district for an explanation on why a book that is supposed to commemorate the highlights of a school year looked like a propaganda campaign from Antifa. Is it possible that the yearbook advisors were hired from The New York Times or Washington Post? Well, it turns out the school district is defending the anti-Trump, anti-conservative yearbook. A district spokesperson confirmed that the controversial images were not only published, but were also approved by the club’s advisor.

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted Wednesday to recommend holding former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment during testimony before lawmakers last week. The measure passed on an 8-7 party-line vote, advancing the matter toward a potential vote by the full Senate. If approved by the chamber, the contempt referral would be sent to the Department of Justice for consideration.
