Fox News: Vance was one of Pope Francis' last visitors
Vice President JD Vance met Pope Francis for Easter greetings shortly before the pope's death at age 88. Vance expressed gratitude for the meeting and shared condolences after learning of the pope's passing. The two had previously clashed over migration policies.

The Federalist: Republicans In Congress Look To Stop 'Judicial Coup d'etat'
In the early months of President Trump's second term, federal courts have issued numerous national injunctions against his executive orders, leading some, like Rep. Bob Onder, to label it a “judicial coup d’etat.” The Congressional Research Service reports at least 17 injunctions have been filed, particularly obstructing Trump's immigration policies.
The Republican-controlled House has responded by passing the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025, aimed at limiting national injunctions. Critics argue that these judicial actions undermine Trump's authority and the will of voters who support his immigration agenda. The debate highlights a growing divide over judicial powers and executive authority.

The Federalist: Strip Tax Exemptions From All Woke Nonprofits, Not Just Harvard
President Trump has initiated actions to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status and federal benefits, aligning with a broader push to hold elite universities accountable for perceived ideological biases. The proposal suggests that nonprofit organizations, particularly those with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, should also lose their tax-exempt status due to their alleged failure to serve the public good.
The article advocates for a new asset-based tax targeting large non-religious nonprofits implementing DEI programs, estimating it could generate significant revenue to address national deficits. This approach aims to shift power away from ideologically driven institutions and restore accountability in the nonprofit sector.

The Federalist: How No-Consequence Schooling Turns Kids Into Killers
The tragic stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet highlights systemic failures in school discipline and accountability. The incident, involving Karmelo Anthony, underscores a dangerous mindset among youth that disregards authority and promotes violence, exacerbated by a culture that prioritizes leniency over consequences.
Educators point to a trend of excuse-making and lack of real standards, which allows disruptive behavior to flourish. Effective discipline measures, such as zero-tolerance policies, have shown to reduce violence, yet many schools continue to avoid enforcing rules, ultimately enabling a culture of entitlement and, in some cases, tragedy.
