The Federalist: Under New Trump EO, Every American Is No Longer A Felon
On May 9, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at combating overcriminalization in federal regulations. The order seeks to limit criminal enforcement to cases where individuals knowingly violate regulations and mandates federal agencies to publicly disclose all regulations with criminal penalties.
This initiative addresses concerns about the vast number of federal crimes, which have become obscured within extensive regulatory texts, making it difficult for citizens to know what constitutes a crime. Advocates view the order as a necessary step toward restoring due process and ensuring that criminal penalties are applied only when there is clear intent.

In Britain, police are exercising broad discretion under unclear laws, leading to concerning restrictions on free speech. An incident involving Maxie Allen and his partner illustrates this, as they were arrested for sending disparaging messages about their daughter's school.
This raises alarms about the implications for civil liberties and the role of law enforcement in regulating speech.
The Federalist: Trans Ideologues Think Their Feelings Matter More Than Yours
Since President Trump’s second term began, debates over transgender issues have intensified across various levels of government, including federal policies and state legislation. Activists are pushing back against perceived threats to their rights, while critics question the moral and legal foundations of transgender ideology.
The article argues that transgender activism is increasingly facing political resistance and that many Americans uphold traditional views on sex and gender. It suggests that claims linking Jesus to transgenderism lack substantial evidence and that the movement's assertions are losing credibility in the face of common sense.

The Federalist: Sending Medicaid, Food Stamps Back To States Will Reduce Costs
Proposed changes to budget reconciliation legislation could significantly alter the state-federal relationship regarding Medicaid and food stamps. Critics argue that these changes would merely shift costs to states, but proponents assert they would incentivize states to manage programs more responsibly and reduce overall spending.
The current system allows states to rely heavily on federal funding without accountability, leading to waste and inefficiency. By requiring states to contribute financially, the proposed reforms aim to encourage better management of these programs and ultimately lower costs.
