- Connor Semelsberger, FRC's Director of Federal Affairs for Life and Human Dignity, applauds Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) for insisting that the reconciliation bill include the Hyde Amendment, which keeps taxpayer dollars from funding abortion.
- Roger Gannam, Assistant Vice President of Legal Affairs at Liberty Counsel, shares how President Biden’s COVID vaccine mandates have led hundreds of U.S. service members to reach out for help, including one near retirement who faces dishonorable discharge after 29 years of service.
