Speaker Mike Johnson says Congress must now take up the issue of birthright citizenship. His call comes just days after the Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s effort to end the practice by executive order. The move signals that Republican leaders are shifting the fight from the White House to Capitol Hill. For years, birthright citizenship has been treated as settled law.

A group of pro-life pregnancy centers has secured a major victory in Delaware. State officials have agreed to permanently stop enforcing a law that forced these centers to post government-written disclaimers. The agreement, reached in late June, ends a legal battle that began more than a year ago. The win came not through a courtroom trial but through a settlement. Rather than keep defending the law, Delaware’s attorney general agreed to a binding court order.

On July 4, the Domestic Policy Council released a new report accusing the Smithsonian of trading honest history for political activism. The document, titled “Saving America’s Story,” lands squarely in a growing fight over how our nation tells its own past.

His Religious Liberty Commission delivered its final report during an Oval Office meeting on Friday, June 26.

President Trump traveled to the rugged badlands of North Dakota last week to dedicate a new presidential library honoring one of America’s most colorful leaders. The July 1 ceremony came just days before the nation marked 250 years of independence. Trump used the occasion to remind Americans of the grit and determination that built the country. It was a fitting message delivered in the same wild landscape that shaped Theodore Roosevelt himself.

Beneath the surface of war, countless Iranians are turning to Jesus Christ. This is no small trend. Iran is now home to one of the fastest-growing Christian movements on earth, and it is happening in one of the hardest places in the world to follow Jesus.

Parents have a legal right to know what’s happening with their own children at school. That basic principle is now at the center of a major clash between the federal government and the state of California. The U.S. Department of Education says California broke a federal privacy law by letting schools hide students’ “gender transitions” from their own parents. The finding could put billions in federal education funding on the line.

Planned Parenthood is coming back to Louisiana, less than a year after the state’s last clinics closed their doors. The announcement arrived as the nation marked the fourth anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which returned the abortion question to the states and let Louisiana protect unborn life. For a state that has fought hard to become pro-life, the timing was no accident.

One of the nation’s largest Christian adoption agencies is taking a bold stand for its faith. Bethany Christian Services announced it will once again align its foster and adoption work with biblical beliefs about marriage and family. The decision marks a clear return to the Christian foundation that has guided the ministry for more than 80 years. For many people of faith, it is a welcome sign of conviction in a culture that often pressures believers to bend.

The Daughters of the American Revolution voted to keep its policy of allowing transgender members. The decision came at the group’s 135th Continental Congress in Washington, D.C. Members rejected the proposal by a vote of 1,481 to 984. The resolution would have defined the word “woman” in the bylaws as someone born female. It was led by a grassroots group called Daughters Advocating for Restoration. Their goal was to return the historic women’s organization to a female only space.
