Vermont gave up its policy of scrutinizing would-be and current foster parents' religious beliefs for inconsistency with gender ideology to settle two First Amendment lawsuits before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could rule, issuing sweeping new guidance last week that protects applicants from violating their conscience to foster children.
The revolutionary Iranian regime — which may possibly find itself in a war with the United States in the coming days — has positioned itself as an adversary of the U.S. ever since it came into power decades ago in 1979.

A federal judge on Wednesday declined to lift a stay on the Department of Homeland Security's policy of deporting illegal aliens to third countries that will accept them.

Cuban officials said Wednesday that four people were killed, and six others were injured, after a speedboat that had allegedly come from Florida entered its waters and began firing at Cuban border patrol troops.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday defended Democrats for not standing at President Donald Trump's invitation during the State of the Union, saying they disagreed with the premise.
Trump had invited members of the audience to stand if they believed the first duty of the U.S. government was to its citizens, not illegal aliens. Very few Democrats stood up. Schumer insisted that they had not done so because they did not believe that Trump's policies were in the best interests of American citizens.
