Mike Rogers

Congress’ latest defense spending bill unveiled Saturday would deal a major blow to a slew of left-wing policy initiatives that have been pushed by the Biden Pentagon.

The National Defense Reauthorization Act of 2025 (NDAA) includes provisions that prohibit the use of Department of Defense (DoD) funds to promote Critical Race Theory, climate change, the procurement of sex change surgeries for children and further extends a freeze on hiring for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, according to the text of the bill.

Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Challenge to Racial Discrimination in Public School Admissions

Supreme Court

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a case challenging Boston Public Schools using a student’s ZIP code as a factor for admission in an attempt to admit more nonwhite students.

The case alleges white students were unfairly discriminated against after several prestigious schools within the district created a quota for admitting students from different ZIP codes rather than basing admission on the students’ academic performance, leading to decreased white enrollment. Several schools have created alternative admissions policies in an attempt to sidestep the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling that banned the use of race as a factor for admission into schools.

A federal appeals court ruled Friday to uphold a law that will force TikTok’s Chinese parent company to sell the platform or have it banned in the U.S.

A panel of three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled unanimously that the law forcing ByteDance, TikTok’s parent firm, to sell TikTok to a non-Chinese company or face a U.S. ban is legal, clearing the way for the law to take effect on Jan. 19, 2025. In their ruling, the judges characterized TikTok as a national security risk because the Chinese government is able to manipulate the app to its advantage and stated that the April divest-or-ban law does not run afoul of the First Amendment, as some of the law’s critics have contended.
