Fox News: Republican lawmakers seek to strip District of Columbia of its sanctuary city policies
Republican lawmakers are pushing to eliminate sanctuary city policies in Washington, D.C., which limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The proposed legislation, introduced by Sen. Bill Hagerty and Rep. Clay Higgins, aims to ensure compliance with federal immigration laws and prevent local jurisdictions from obstructing federal enforcement.
This initiative aligns with President Trump's recent executive order targeting sanctuary cities, which could face loss of federal funding for non-compliance. The administration emphasizes the need for local governments to respect federal immigration laws to enhance public safety.

Fox News: EXCLUSIVE: Mom's fight with school over teen daughter's gender transition gets boost from parents group
The American Parents Coalition (APC) filed a brief supporting the Littlejohn family in their lawsuit against a Florida middle school accused of socially transitioning their 13-year-old daughter without parental consent. The APC argues that social transitioning constitutes medical treatment and that parents have a right to be informed and involved in such decisions.
The Littlejohns claim the school's actions created significant emotional distress and a rift in their family. Despite a ruling against them by a three-judge panel, they are appealing for the case to be heard by the full 11th Circuit Court, asserting that parental rights must be upheld in matters affecting their child's well-being.

The Western Journal: GDP Report Shows Negative Growth, But Economist Reveals There's 'Fantastic News' Hidden Inside
The U.S. GDP fell by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, attributed to a surge in imports as businesses rushed to avoid President Trump's tariffs. Despite this decline, economists highlight positive signs, including a 1.8% increase in consumer spending and a projected rebound in GDP growth for the upcoming quarters.
Experts suggest that the initial drop in GDP may overstate economic weakness, with predictions of significant growth in Q2 due to decreased imports following the tariff-induced surge. Overall, the underlying economic indicators point to a solid demand, suggesting a potential recovery.

Fox News: Supreme Court weighs religious liberty dispute over public funding for Catholic charter school
The Supreme Court is deliberating a case regarding the potential taxpayer funding of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School in Oklahoma, raising questions about the First Amendment's separation of church and state.

The case reflects broader debates in Republican-led states about increasing religious influence in public education. The outcome could set a precedent for how charter schools, which are publicly funded but operate independently, are treated in relation to religious institutions. A ruling is expected by early summer.

The Federalist: Ed Dept. Cuts $1B In 'Mental Health' Grants Used To Advance DEI

Officials stated the decision was made to ensure taxpayer funds are used for evidence-based practices that genuinely improve student mental health. The programs being eliminated were found to violate civil rights laws and will be replaced with initiatives better aligned with students' behavioral health needs.
