“The National Rifle Association is liquidating investments as it bleeds cash amid legal turmoil, internal tumult, and dwindling membership revenue,” Rolling Stone reports. 

Washington Post: “That effort culminated in June when the Supreme Court struck down the principle known as Chevron deference, which for 40 years had required judges to give federal agencies significant latitude in implementing laws in areas where Congress did not give specific guidance.”

“Other Supreme Court decisions last term garnered more attention, including on abortion pills and presidential immunity. But many legal experts say Chevron could be one of the most significant rulings of this generation because of its sweep.”

“The legal precedent had been cited in more than 18,000 decisions over the past four decades. Its demise has unleashed a new flood of challenges to the regulatory power of federal agencies, and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy seized on it last month as a key tool in their quest to slash thousands of federal jobs and dismantle bureaucracy as part of the incoming Trump administration.”

New York Times: “In its latest iteration, CPAC is seeking to build something of a political import-export business, seeding Trumpian politics across the globe while also hunting for ideas for use back home and like-minded leaders to amplify.”

“While it’s not the first time a group with ties to Mr. Trump has tried to push his brand of populism abroad — Stephen K. Bannon, a former Trump adviser, once helped set up a political training academy outside Rome — the high-profile lineup in Buenos Aires demonstrated signs of new momentum.”

Slate: “On War Room, the battle for the heart of the Republican Party is just as urgent as the battle against the Democrats, if not more so.”

“Bannon’s great victory on election night was over not the Harris campaign but the idea that Republicans needed to moderate their stances on immigration and far-right isolationism…”

“The election of Donald Trump has sparked a surge of interest in the United States in South Korea’s 4B movement, a radical feminist crusade that preaches the four B’s: bi-hon (no marriage), bi-yeonae (no dating), bi-sekseu (no sex) and bi-chulsan (no childbirth),” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“Since Nov. 5, there have been more than 500,000 Google searches for ‘4b movement,’ while on TikTok, Instagram and X, support for the cause has been trending among young women voters who are vowing to swear off men.”

RealClearPolitics: “Paul Dans left persona non grata after a two-year tenure defined by public feuds with the Trump campaign and a concentrated effort by Democrats to make Project 2025 into an election year liability for Republicans.”

“But political controversy was not the cause of his departure, as was previously reported. Dans was instead fired by Heritage after an investigation found repeated incidents of professional misconduct and mistreatment of colleagues.”

The Guardian: “Kevin Roberts, now the president of the Heritage Foundation, is alleged to have told colleagues and dinner guests that he killed a neighbor’s pit bull around 2004 while he was working as a still relatively unknown history professor at New Mexico State University.”

Conservative activist Leonard Leo said he would withhold money from organizations he supports unless they use their funding to “weaponize the conservative vision,” Axios reports.

Leonard Leo, the former executive vice president of the Federalist Society, told the Financial Times his nonprofit group was pledging $1 billion to “crush liberal dominance” in corporate America.

Leo told the British newspaper he would “direct resources to build talent and capital formation pipelines in the areas of news and entertainment, where leftwing extremism is most evident.”

“Protesters sprayed part of Stonehenge with orange paint Wednesday, calling on the British government to take action on climate change a day before thousands are expected to flock to the 5,000-year-old site in southern England to celebrate the summer solstice,” the Washington Post reports.
