Women can lead boldly at work while restoring the honor of motherhood A mother’s devotion to her child is unmatched. This love takes many forms: strength, compassion, wisdom, grace, joy, labor, humor and even grief, to name a few. The love between mother and child has helped shape America’s identity since the nation’s founding 250 years ago.   It is time to revisit the enduring American family traditions that have supported generations, while also recognizing the challenges for mothers of building both a career and a home. This balancing act reflects the realities women face today. America’s strength is closely tied to the role mothers play in shaping character, education and moral order within families. From morning until night, mothers serve as the first teachers of empathy, aspiration and discipline. It is mothers who do so much to shape a child’s mind — how to think, how to distinguish right from wrong and how to persevere in challenging times. The household is our nation’s sma...

A suspected gunman was taken into custody Saturday night after shots were fired outside the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, sending attendees—including President Donald Trump and members of the press—into a brief but intense state of alarm. According to authorities, the suspect, a 30-year-old man from California, was quickly subdued by Secret Service agents after discharging a weapon near the event venue. Officials confirmed he was carrying multiple firearms, all of which were recovered at the scene. The incident unfolded just as the first course of the high-profile dinner was being served. Witnesses reported hearing loud popping sounds, initially mistaken by some as dropped equipment, before Secret Service agents rushed in and instructed guests to take cover under their tables. In an impromptu press briefing shortly after the incident, President Trump described the moment as both startling and surreal. “I was totally shocked that something happened,” the president said...

The Trump administration, as of August 25, 2025, has implemented aggressive measures to address homelessness in Washington, D.C., focusing on clearing encampments and enforcing public safety, as outlined in the July 23, 2025, executive order "Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets" and subsequent actions. Key developments include: President Donald Trump issued a homeless sweep as a part of his effort to make DC more safe and beautiful. He ordered homeless individuals to "move out immediately" from D.C., with federal agents, including U.S. Park Police and FBI, dismantling encampments, such as those near the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Memorial. Approximately 70 of 72 encampments have been cleared, with belongings often discarded, causing fear and displacement among the estimated 800 unsheltered individuals in a city of 700,000. The executive order promotes civil commitment for homeless individuals with mental illness or substance use disorders, directing t...

During questions in the Oval Office Pres. Donald Trump interjected his opinion about the purpose of birthright citizenship ahead of a crucial Supreme Court decision. He repeated the that Birthright citizenship was intended for the babies of slaves not the children of very rich people. One of them came in with 57 children. And it usually done by people who hate out country. If the Supreme Court approves it they will have done a great disservice to our country. ...It would be a disgrace if the Supreme Court allows that to happen. FACT CHECK: The 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause was drafted to overturn Dred Scott v. Sandford and guarantee that formerly enslaved people—and their U.S.-born descendants—were citizens by birth. That foundational purpose continues to anchor modern Supreme Court debates about birthright citizenship, jurisdiction, and who counts as “born in the United States.” Previously, enslaved people were born on U.S. soil but denied citizenship and the 14th was ...
