Can a revolution come as a pill? Over the past century we saw first the birth control pill. And—much more recently—we have the abortion pill.

Both pills have served to reshape our entire moral landscape.

The abortion pill was promised and packaged as “safe.”

Except it’s not.

Just this past week, the Ethics and Public Policy Center released a major study—looking at upwards of 800,000 prescribed mifepristone abortions.

They found that no less than 11% of women had experienced “sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event within 45 days following a mifepristone abortion.”

This is how the culture of death works. It kills and it harms, and it lies. It directs its attack directly on the unborn. It deliberately ignores the “harm” intentionally inflicted on the unborn child and then misrepresents the risk of harm to the mother as well.

It runs on a high-speed rail of lies and then it piles further lies on top.

By now, everyone knows that Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan allegedly did. She reportedly directed ICE agents away from her courtroom, where they were waiting to arrest an illegal immigrant. She then allegedly helped the illegal immigrant escape through a non-public area, although he was caught shortly thereafter.

To become a Wisconsin state court judge, Hannah Dugan took an oath. She swore to uphold the law — both of Wisconsin and of the United States. That means ALL the laws, including America’s immigration law. Not just the laws she agrees with.

The left accuses President Trump of creating a “constitutional crisis.” In fact, judges like Hannah Dugan are creating the crisis by forgetting their constitutional role. They destroy respect for the judiciary—and for our constitutional system—by behaving like activists in robes.

Dugan should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Donald Trump has released an executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

This is one of those roughly 80/20 issues where an overwhelming majority of the country believes that only American citizens should be voting in American elections, as the law requires. So of course Democrats found a friendly federal judge to block the executive order.

The judge held that Democrats had shown that requiring proof of citizenship would hurt their voter registration efforts, and [quote] “make it more difficult for them to register voters who are likely to support Democratic candidates” [unquote].

In other words, voter integrity measures are likely to impose particular harm on the Democratic Party.

The ruling should make Democrats very uncomfortable. As they seek a way forward in the Trump era, perhaps they should be finding a way to win that is consistent with fair and legal elections.

President Donald Trump just issued an executive order eliminating the use of “disparate impact” analysis in the use of racial and gender-oriented hiring and benefits. In so doing, he has moved us from an ethos of numerical equity to moral equality.

As Heather Mac Donald put it: Disparate Impact “has been used to invalidate literacy and numeracy standards for police officers and firemen, cognitive skills and basic knowledge tests for teachers, the use of SATs in college admissions, the use of grades for medical licensing exams….It has been used to eliminate prosecution for a large range of crimes…. among other things.

Disparate impact has been used to achieve results, give benefits, and prove racisim where no discriminatory intent has been alleged. Trump’s order restores true civil rights, and is a refreshing fix to the pitting of Americans against one another. In sum, Donald Trump ended the presumption that we are an implicitly biased or racist country with this order, and this will quell and heal increasing racial and gender-based resentments.

President Donald Trump marks “100 days” in this second term.

He’s certainly been fast off the blocks.

But I want to weigh in for just a bit on the judges.

No: I’m not referring to the judiciary. I’m referring to the media: Those who have so wrong about Trump for so long it defies description.

Just about anyone in the world of journalism who is 30 and older has been pumping out "takes" on Donald Trump since he came down the escalator on June 16, 2015. I certainly have.

And they have been so wrong for so long … the collective sum of the sunk costs is enormous. Hundreds of millions of takes have been taken, predictions made and conclusions rendered. And: They’ve been wrong.

My recommendation is: Ignore them. Watch Trump. He could be transformational and successful.

There’s no question: He’s already an enormous figure in the nation’s history. He’s a president of consequence.

And: He still has over 1,300 days to go.

I’m Hugh Hewitt.

We’re at a critical juncture in history—with the SS America, if you will, buffeted by a political storm that threatens to escalate into a full-blown hurricane.

Our challenges threaten to paralyze markets, turning every investment into a gamble—jeopardizing the American dream.

Donald Trump, our Captain of SS America, sees the distant horizon though. He knows enduring prosperity demands policies etched in stone—tax rates locked in, regulations unshackled, spending reined in.

But he also knows stability is a mirage without massive and difficult reforms.

Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill is a crucial lifeline, providing a guide to safer shores. It offers certainty by securing tax rates, reducing reckless spending, and eliminating regulatory burdens to unleash American innovation and more. Most importantly, formalizing the findings of DOGE, which has uncovered billions lost in bureaucratic inefficiency.

Yet the crew falters.

Republicans must deliver on this bill soon, or the hurricane will overtake us.

It’s time to get it done.

The US Supreme Court this week heard arguments about whether children can be exempted from instruction their parents consider offensive.

What kind of instruction? From the Washington Post: LGBTQ story-books featuring gender transitions; same-sex playground romance; and questioning “cisnormativity” and “power hierarchies.” The picture book “Pride Puppy!” asks students to search a Pride parade for “underwear,” “leather” and a “lip ring.” A book that invites kindergarteners to ponder what it means to be “nonbinary” and “What pronouns fit?” Kindergartners.

Another book for youngsters called “Intersectionalities” comes with a foreword from a Marxist law professor at Columbia explaining the need to teach children not English and math but social consciousness.

When your kindergarten book needs a law professor’s foreword, you know you’re not in Kansas anymore—or anything near age-appropriate education. You’re in the realm of indoctrination. And that’s not what schools are for.

Parents have every right to opt their little one out of this.

The Supreme Court seemed to agree. We’ll find out in late June or early July.

We’ve heard a lot about how Donald Trump is causing a “constitutional crisis.” But Joe Biden’s open borders is what created the perfect storm for a real crisis—a crisis of legitimacy for our government’s judicial branch.

Here’s why: During the Biden years, seven million illegal immigrants streamed into the United States. Now, people want them deported.

But it requires no due process to enter our country illegally. It does require due process of some kind to deport illegal immigrants

For regular Americans, it’s difficult to understand why migrants can’t be removed as fast as they came. And if judges act in ways that lead reasonable people to question their impartiality — like the judge found harboring an illegal migrant in his home — the reputation of the entire judiciary will crater quickly.

That will create a real crisis — but one of the judiciary's own making.
