Medical school accreditor suspends ‘diversity’ requirements after Trump executive order

By  Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist A major medical school accreditor responsible for all graduate-level medical programs announced it would suspend some of its “diversity” requirements, roughly two weeks after President Donald Trump signed an executive order cracking down on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements among accreditors. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) explained that it would be pausing some “diversity” requirements over “concerns” from “multiple constituents in several states” that they might violate state or federal law. “The ACGME has heard significant concerns from multiple constituents in several states and from federal Sponsoring Institutions about their ability to comply with some of the ACGME requirement...

Hamas releases last living American hostage Edan Alexander

By Brittany Bernstein | National Review Hamas on Monday released Edan Alexander, the last living American hostage in Gaza, marking a major milestone in the long-running negotiations between Israel, the terror group, and the United States that began when terrorists invaded Israel and kidnapped hundreds of civilians. Alexander, who holds duel Israeli-American citizenship, was handed over to representatives from the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Israeli military said. The Red Cross will deliver Alexander to a special Israeli military unit and he will then be taken to a reception facility in Reim for medical and psychological examinations before being reunited with his family and airlifted to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

Trump teases ‘most consequential executive order in our country’s history’

By Tim Pearce | Daily Wire President Donald Trump said Sunday he will sign an executive order that will reduce the cost of pharmaceuticals “almost immediately by 30% to 80%.” Trump announced the move in a post on Truth Social. The order aims to bring “FAIRNESS TO AMERICA” by lowering drug costs in the United States while raising them throughout the rest of the world. “Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history,” Trump said. “I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World,” he said. “Our Country will finally be treated ...

Groundbreaking report exposes massive Biden failure in Gaza: 62 US troops harmed, $230M wasted

By Ben Zeisloft | Western Journal There were 62 American service members injured during the Biden administration’s Gaza aid pier project, marking a higher level of injuries than previously revealed. The pier, which was meant to deliver humanitarian aid to residents of Gaza amid Hamas’ war with Israel, cost an estimated $230 million and was only operational for some 20 days, per Reuters, which cited a new release from the Pentagon Inspector General. “Based on the information provided, we were not able to determine which of these 62 injuries occurred during the performance of duties or resulted off duty or from pre-existing medical conditions,” the government report said.

US and China agree to slash tariffs temporarily after trade talks

By Emily Crane and Diana Glebova | New York Post The United States and China agreed Monday to a 90-day truce in their raging trade war — with each agreeing for now to slash reciprocal tariffs by more than 100 percentage points, bringing China’s duty rate down to just 10%. Under the agreement, the US will drop its 145% tariff rate on most Chinese goods to 30%, while China will lower its rate to 10% from 125%, officials said.   The agreement also includes a mechanism for talks toward a permanent deal to continue — and the two sides spoke about how they will both address the flow of fentanyl from China to the US, a White House readout of the agreement read. At the White House Monday, President Trump confirmed that 25% tariffs on cars, steel and aluminum re...

Rite Aid files for bankruptcy

By Daniella Genovese | Fox Business Rite Aid, which filed for bankruptcy twice in two years, will potentially close dozens of additional locations.  The pharmacy chain, which shuttered hundreds of its locations during its first bankruptcy proceeding, is now expected to close 47 stores due to a variety of factors, including financial underperformance and lack of interest from potential buyers. The company has already sold or closed 29 retail locations and entered into agreements to sell the prescription files of 63 additional stores. It is an about-face from 2023, when the company operated thousands of locations around the U.S. Since then, the debt-laden company has significantly reduced the size of its footprint as part of its turnaround strategy.

GOP Chair Horn: President Trump delivered in 100 days – now Colorado Conservatives must lead the charge

By Brita Horn | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice “We will close the border. We will stop the invasion of illegals into our country,” President Trump said at an Aurora, Colorado, rally on October 12, 2024. That promise was central to his push for a second term. Now, just over 100 days in, he’s delivering – tightening the border and reversing years of neglect. The previous administration under President Joe Biden left a legacy of border chaos. Millions of illegal immigrants crossed into the United States, overwhelming not only border communities but also cities and states far from the frontier. Colorado has become a hotspot in the fight against organized crime and trafficking.  In Aurora, Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested after violent apartment takeovers. I...

Boebert revives American Energy Act to push lower costs, energy independence

By Abraham Jewett | Fox31 DENVER (KDVR) — U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert introduced a new version of her American Energy Act bill this week. Boebert said the goal of the American Energy Act is to streamline permitting processes for oil and gas producers. The thrice-elected congresswoman said the bill will allow American energy companies to focus on creating jobs and lowering costs. “Our American oil & gas producers need to get back to what they do best: creating jobs, lowering energy costs for American families and small businesses, and producing the cleanest natural gas in the world,” Boebert said in a statement. The legislation would require the Department of Interior to continue processing applications for permits to drill under a valid existing lease, regardless of ...
