A strong majority of Americans support commonsense voter ID requirements, expecting that individuals prove their identity at the polls to maintain election integrity. In contrast, Democrats and the panel at CNN appear to view the American public as too confused and incapable to handle the simple process of gathering necessary documents for identification, undermining trust in voters' basic competence.
Epstein Files & The CSI Effect
With Mark Weaver, Constitutional Lawyer in PA and OH, former DOJ Spokesperson, author of the new children’s book God Bless America: 250 Years Strong (released 11/3/2025).
Federal authorities have announced an end to Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota that began December 1 and resulted in mass detentions, protests and at least two deaths. Border czar Tom Homan made the announcement during a news conference Thursday, saying the operation’s conclusion follows ongoing discussions with state and local officials and reflects changes in enforcement strategy.
The crackdown, which focused on the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area, led to more than 4,000 arrests, including many people with no criminal records, and drew widespread criticism from residents and civil rights groups.
Homan stated the wind-down marks a shift in federal priorities as authorities aim to reduce tensions and focus on targeted cooperation. Officials also previously announced the withdrawal of hundreds of immigration enforcement personnel as part of the process.
Homeland Security officials are warning of disruptions if funding lapses, including delayed disaster relief reimbursements and missed paychecks for TSA agents.
Congress has approved most federal funding for the year but only a short-term patch for DHS through Friday. Democrats want immigration enforcement changes included in any new bill, while Republicans say key security operations would continue.
The House has voted to push back against President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods, marking a rare challenge to the White House trade agenda.
Six Republicans joined nearly all Democrats in supporting a resolution to end Trump’s use of a national emergency to impose the punitive trade measures. The resolution could pass the Senate but would likely be blocked by a White House veto.
House Republicans have approved legislation that would impose strict voter ID requirements ahead of the midterm elections.
The bill, called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act, is a priority for the Trump administration and aims to tighten ballot access. It would require Americans to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote and present a valid photo ID before casting a ballot.
Four Democratic-led states are suing the Trump administration over plans to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in public health funding.
California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota argue the move is political retaliation tied to their opposition to the president’s immigration crackdown.
The Department of Health and Human Services has notified Congress it intends to withhold roughly $600 million in grants, with some of the cuts potentially taking effect as soon as this week. State leaders warn the funding losses could impact disease tracking, prevention programs and other critical health services.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says he’s navigating unfamiliar territory as national attention intensifies around the disappearance of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother.
Eighty-four-year-old Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her Tucson-area home on Jan. 31. Since then, Nanos has held multiple press briefings, attempting to balance public transparency with protecting investigative details — an approach he admits hasn’t always landed smoothly.
“I’m not used to everyone hanging onto my every word,” Nanos told reporters, acknowledging the heightened scrutiny.
The sheriff has faced criticism over several decisions, including allowing Guthrie’s home to be returned to the family after investigators processed the scene. Before authorities resecured the property, journalists photographed what officials later confirmed were droplets of Guthrie’s blood near the front door.
He also drew backlash for attending a University of Arizona basketball game while the search was ongoing. Nanos defended the decision, saying investigators cannot work nonstop and he needed time to decompress.
The case entered its second week with investigators releasing surveillance video showing a masked person wearing a gun holster and backpack approaching Guthrie’s home. The footage does not show what happened to her or whether she is still alive.
Authorities briefly detained a man following a traffic stop south of Tucson, but he was later released.
Nanos, a longtime law enforcement official who has led the sheriff’s office since 2015, says his team remains fully committed to solving the case as public pressure continues to mount.
Key senators and the families of the 67 people killed in a mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., say the tragedy may have been preventable.
Aviation experts have long recommended advanced aircraft locator systems that allow pilots to track nearby air traffic in real time, improving situational awareness and reducing the risk of crashes.
The Senate Commerce Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing today to examine whether the technology should be required on aircraft operating around the nation’s busiest airports.
Is ministry really worth it? In this episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg Laurie sits
down with legendary pastor Jack Graham, Senior Pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church and
host of the wildly popular “Bible in a Year” podcast, for a raw, heartfelt conversation about
calling, leadership, and navigating life’s toughest storms.

enduring power of forgiveness, and a behind-the-scenes look at how a simple act of reading
Bible stories as a child sparked a movement reaching millions worldwide. Their conversation
also tackles urgent issues like the rise of antisemitism, the role of the local church in a culture
driven by media influencers, and essential principles for finishing well—both in marriage and in
ministry.
