Fox News: House Democrats demand answers on DOJ's move to fire former special counsel officials
House Democrats are raising concerns over the Justice Department's recent dismissal of over a dozen officials linked to former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation. They argue this move contradicts President Trump's commitment to a merit-based government and undermines the integrity of DOJ civil servants.
Democrats Jamie Raskin and Gerald Connolly have demanded details about the firings, claiming they were executed without proper evaluation and may violate federal laws. They allege that the dismissals reflect a political agenda to replace career employees with those loyal to Trump, raising alarms about the politicization of the DOJ.
The Federalist: Why Congress Needs To Swiftly Pass Concealed-Carry Reciprocity
Republicans in Congress are advocating for the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, which aims to ensure that concealed-carry permits are recognized across state lines. This legislation, supported by President Trump, seeks to affirm the Second Amendment as a universal right, not subject to state restrictions.
Proponents argue that the current patchwork of state laws creates confusion and penalizes law-abiding citizens. They contend that national reciprocity would enhance public safety by allowing responsible gun owners to exercise their rights without fear of legal repercussions when traveling. The push for this legislation emphasizes equality under the law and the need to uphold constitutional freedoms.
The Federalist: New York Magazine Crops Out Truth With MAGA Hit Piece
A recent article in New York Magazine criticized a conservative event, labeling attendees as a "new class of conservatives" who are predominantly white. The piece, however, faced backlash for cropping out several Black attendees from a key photo, leading to accusations of misrepresentation.
Critics, including event co-hosts, argue that the article perpetuates a false narrative of the MAGA movement as racially homogenous and discriminatory. They claim the omission of diverse voices undermines the reality of the event and could lead to potential legal issues for the publication.

The council acknowledged the group's frustration and promised to seek a resolution, but the volunteers may cease operations if the ban remains in effect.
