ARTICLE 1: ABLECHILD – Butler Assassination Attempt Documents Locked Down in Congressman Kelly’s Office
The Butler assassination attempt continues to raise red flags, especially after reports surfaced that critical documents are now being withheld in the office of Congressman Mike Kelly. The involvement of ABLEChild, a parental rights group, adds an additional layer of intrigue, particularly as speculation intensifies about links between the attempt and so-called political “crooks.” With the case going cold, public trust in transparency is again being tested. The fact that such explosive materials are not yet public demands closer congressional scrutiny and possibly an independent investigation.
Opinion: The public deserves clarity on potential security breaches involving elected officials. Any perceived obstruction only fuels speculation.
ARTICLE 2: Rep. Jamie Raskin Demands Trump Return Deported Venezuelan Gangsters to U.S.
In a fiery appeal, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) demanded that President Trump reverse deportations of violent Venezuelan criminals, arguing they were expelled without regard for due process or international responsibility. The statement, delivered in a now-viral video, has triggered intense backlash, especially from communities grappling with crime and illegal immigration.
Opinion: The call to return deported foreign criminals to U.S. soil is politically risky and likely out of step with most Americans’ expectations on national security and border control.
ARTICLE 3: Professor Placed on Leave After Attacking College Republicans’ Table at UW–Eau Claire
The University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire has placed English department chair José Felipe Alvergue on administrative leave after video emerged of him flipping a College Republicans table on election day. The incident, confirmed by police and caught on video, is being investigated as disorderly conduct. The situation has sparked a broader conversation about political tolerance and freedom of expression on college campuses.
Opinion: Regardless of political views, universities must enforce a zero-tolerance policy for politically motivated aggression. Civil discourse must be protected.
ARTICLE 4: Sen. Adam Schiff Blocks Trump’s U.S. Attorney Nominee Ed Martin
Democrat Senator Adam Schiff (CA) has placed an indefinite hold on President Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney in D.C., Ed Martin, accusing him of using his interim authority to politicize the office. Schiff alleges Martin is targeting Biden family pardons and acting as a partisan operative. Supporters of Martin argue the investigation into the autopen scandal is a legitimate pursuit of accountability.
Opinion: This is another example of how deeply politicized the confirmation process has become. Regardless of political affiliation, the Senate should prioritize qualifications and legal integrity over partisan optics.
ARTICLE 5: Several Wisconsin Counties Run Out of Ballots During Supreme Court Race
Multiple counties in Wisconsin reported ballot shortages during a high-stakes state Supreme Court election, raising alarms about election preparedness and voter disenfranchisement. The situation is likely to become a flashpoint in the national conversation about election integrity and administration, particularly in battleground states.
Opinion: Running out of ballots in a contested race is unacceptable. States must invest in better forecasting and election infrastructure to ensure all votes can be cast and counted without disruption.
