Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized this initiative, claiming, “The Democrats are so cruel in their continual votes to shut down the government that they forced the WIC program for the most vulnerable women and children to run out this week.” The WIC program, which provides essential food and…

Chicago is facing a crisis in its police force that signals deeper systemic issues, not just reactive measures. The recent decision to summon the National Guard lays bare the impact of outdated hiring practices and significant budget cuts. Over the past few years, the city has lost over 2,100 police positions while adding bureaucratic layers that do little to improve public safety. With 795 vacancies still unfilled in the Chicago Police Department (CPD), the situation is dire. These staffing issues stem not only from the current administration but also from cuts made by the previous mayor, which together have left…

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s veto of Assembly Bill 255 represents a grave misstep in addressing the state’s homelessness crisis.
