• Deadly attacks on Michigan LDS church, Texas casino: A man who has been identified as a former U.S. Marine rammed his pickup truck into the front door of a Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, Mormon church during services on Sunday. Two congregants were killed when the attacker opened fire, and two more were found dead after a conflagration was started by the attacker, with eight more wounded. The assailant was killed in a shootout with police, who responded rapidly. Another attacker has been taken into custody after opening fire in a casino in Eagle Pass, Texas. The man fled the scene and was taken into custody after police conducted a “precision immobilization technique” on his vehicle. Two casino-goers were killed, and several others were injured.

• Adams is out: New York City Mayor Eric Adams ended his campaign on Sunday as the former Democrat, who was running as an independent, found his reelection chances quickly dwindling. He was running a distant fourth behind Democrat socialist front-runner Zohran Mamdani. “Despite all we have achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign,” Adams stated. “The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board’s decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign.” Adams, who fell out of favor with Democrats over a campaign funding scandal following his criticism of the Biden administration’s illegal immigration policy, was always a long shot. With just five weeks until election day, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo hopes to pick up Adams’s Democrat supporters, but given Mamdani’s lead in the polls, winning will be a tall order.

• Netanyahu’s UN speech: On Friday, before a nearly empty United Nations General Assembly Hall, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a fiery speech following a number of nations’ decision to recognize Palestinian statehood. “Free the hostages now or lose your lives,” he bluntly told Hamas, which has prolonged this war in an effort to push world opinion against Israel.“If you do, you will live. If you don’t, Israel will hunt you down.” Netanyahu also assured the remaining hostages that they have not been forgotten and promised “we will not falter and we will not rest until we bring all of you home.” He called the UN’s effort to recognize Palestinian statehood an appeasement to jihadis that sends the message that “Murdering Jews pays off.” Netanyahu concluded, “Your disgraceful decision will encourage terrorism against Jews and against innocent people everywhere. It will be a mark of shame on all of you.”

• Oregon sues over National Guard in Portland: On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that he was sending the National Guard into Portland, Oregon, to protect ICE facilities from antifa and other “domestic terrorists.” “At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” Trump explained on Truth Social. “I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary.” Predictably, Democrats objected to the action, calling Trump’s actions an “abuse of power” and “authoritarian.” On Sunday, Oregon’s Democrat leadership raised a lawsuit in an effort to block Trump’s action, claiming it’s unlawful.

• Nationwide injunctions continue to haunt Trump even after SCOTUS ruling: When the Supreme Court ruled against nationwide injunctions and chided lower courts for their abuses of power in Trump v. CASA, it was hailed as a victory. Unfortunately, nationwide injunctions haven’t ended entirely, and a host of nearly identical alternatives have also sprung up. Class-action lawsuits and vacatur of federal rules have been especially used to ignore the CASA ruling. In 23 cases calling for large-scale relief examined by The Washington Times, only two judges limited their rulings because of CASA; 18 decisions delivered broad relief despite CASA. In cases involving allowing temporary immigrants to sign up for welfare and ending deportation amnesty for longtime refugees, judges simply ignored the Supreme Court and issued nationwide injunctions. The justices will need to show more leadership to control the judiciary.

• Nexstar, Sinclair return Jimmy Kimmel to the air: It seems likely that Disney delivered an ultimatum along the lines of Air Jimmy Kimmel or lose all our programming. Nexstar and Sinclair, the broadcasting affiliates that preempted Jimmy Kimmel’s show over his despicable lie that Charlie Kirk’s killer was MAGA, decided Friday to end their boycott of his show. Despite their initial statement demanding an apology and a donation to Turning Point USA, they have allowed Kimmel to return without an apology of any kind. Media insiders predicted last week that the Kimmel boycott would end “sooner rather than later” and that programming like “Monday Night Football” might be cut off if he wasn’t returned. Ultimately, the media’s willingness to spread false narratives and carry water on behalf of the Left does not appear to have been curbed in any way.

• 15% higher church attendance: It’s being dubbed “The Charlie Kirk Effect.” Many Americans, especially younger ones, have been drawn to Christianity and are attending churches in search of answers. Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Pastor Jack Hibbs explained, “People are coming to us, and they are saying, ‘I want to know the meaning of life, the purpose. Why am I here?’” According to Matt Zerrusen, co-founder of Newman Ministry, a Catholic campus ministry organization, “I have not talked to anyone who has not seen an increase in Mass attendance. Some schools are reporting increases of 15%.” Indeed, Kirk himself was seeing a movement toward Christianity among young people, posting on X weeks before his death, “There is revival in the Christian church. Churches are growing. Young people are flocking to faith in God.”

• Alvin Bragg drops case against pro-choice woman assaulting a woman on camera: Video is the gold standard of evidence and usually guarantees that some semblance of justice will be done. Not in Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan. Pro-life activist Savannah Craven Antao was peacefully interviewing pro-choice New Yorkers for a video when one interviewee, Brianna Rivers, sucker-punched Antao on camera after failing to defend her position with words. Once the case was brought to him, District Attorney Bragg downgraded the second-degree assault to a misdemeanor and then, once he thought no one was looking, dropped the case entirely. Antao’s attorneys at the Thomas More Society say they aren’t letting the story end there and intend to bring a civil case. Attorneys said they will see justice done “as a lesson to those who think they can respond to pro-life speech with violence.”
