States Rally Behind Foster Care Plan That Expands Religious Family Participation

By: Hannah Bates | The Federalist The Trump administration is reversing Biden-era rules that tossed Christian families from foster care, reducing homes available to desperate children. Montana became the 25th state to join President Trump’s “A Home for Every Child” executive order initiative Monday.

Bipartisan Majority Opposes Animal Testing Yet Federal Funding Persists

By Meghan Miller | Commentary, Washington Examiner After years of court hearings, investigations, open rescues, and protests, the notorious beagle breeding and research facility Ridglan Farms has finally agreed to release 1,500 dogs to rescue organizations.

By Lawrence Andrea | Milwaukee Journal Sentinel WASHINGTON – The Wisconsin Supreme Court on June 25 rejected a request to reconsider the state's congressional maps ahead of next year's midterm elections, all but ensuring the current maps will remain in place for 2026. The liberal-controlled court's decision, which was made without comment from the justices, marked the second time in the past two years that the court has rejected a push from Democrats to change the battleground state's federal maps. It is a loss for Democrats who sought more favorable lines as they aim to retake control of the House in 2026.
