Washington, D.C. - President Joe Biden has vehemently condemned Florida's newly enacted abortion law, labeling it as "extreme" and "outrageous." During a speech in New York City, Biden asserted that the law infringes upon women's rights and runs counter to the principles of reproductive freedom.
The president attributed the passage of such restrictive legislation to the influence of former President Donald Trump, who he accused of emboldening anti-abortion forces. Biden vowed to defend reproductive rights and urged Americans to register and vote in the upcoming midterm elections to counter the conservative agenda.

Houston, Texas - Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has faced repeated protests outside his Houston home by anti-Israel activists, prompting concerns about intimidation and harassment. Fox News Digital has exclusively learned that the agitators are allegedly affiliated with the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) group, which has a presence on college campuses nationwide.
Since February, Cruz's residence has been the site of 14 protests, including one on Friday that resulted in an arrest. The senator's office has maintained that Cruz remains steadfast in his support of Israel and that the protesters' tactics will not deter him from his stance.
Cruz has condemned the protesters' actions, describing them as "screaming and cursing" and engaging in "harassment or intimidation." In a recent online post, he shared that the protests had lasted for hours, with participants banging cowbells and blowing whistles.
Despite the ongoing protests, Cruz's office has emphasized that he will continue to stand with Israel and support its right to defend itself against Hamas. The senator's resolute stance has garnered support from pro-Israel groups, who have denounced the protests as an attempt to silence legitimate discourse.
Washington, D.C. - Two House Republicans have initiated a move to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from his leadership position. Representatives Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) have introduced a resolution to vacate the chair, citing McCarthy's alleged failure to adhere to conservative principles.
The move comes six months after McCarthy secured the speakership in a contentious vote that required multiple rounds of balloting. Biggs and Gaetz argue that McCarthy has not kept his promises to advance conservative priorities, such as reducing government spending and securing the border.
McCarthy has dismissed the resolution as a "publicity stunt" and maintained that he has the support of the majority of the Republican conference. He has accused Biggs and Gaetz of being "extremists" who are not interested in governing.
The move to oust McCarthy reflects the ongoing divisions within the Republican Party between the traditional conservative wing and a more populist and anti-establishment faction. The resolution is unlikely to succeed, but it does underscore the discontent among some Republicans with McCarthy's leadership.
