Texas governor orders arrests for Democrats who left the state
Dozens of Democratic lawmakers left Texas yesterday, preventing the state House of Representatives from moving forward with a redrawn congressional map sought by President Trump. Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state police to find and arrest them, though state law enforcement is restricted to making arrests in Texas. Both parties over the years have gerrymandered political maps to advantage themselves, though such tactics have not typically gained political parties many seats over the years. However, a larger factor is at work here—one that is relevant to each of us and the future of our democracy.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.

Witkoff and Huckabee visit aid operation in Gaza
Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s Middle East envoy, joined US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on a visit to a US-backed aid operation in Gaza on Friday. The Israeli military said two hundred trucks of aid were distributed by the UN and other organizations on Thursday, with hundreds more waiting to be picked up from border crossings inside Gaza. However, reports from the Gaza Strip claim very few supplies have made it into warehouses to be distributed to the population. The son of a founding Hamas leader said, “They don’t care for the Palestinian people. They do not regard human life.” How do we pray for the situation today?About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.

Trump’s EPA reveals “largest deregulatory action” in history: Why climate change may save more lives than it costs
Lee Zeldin, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator, announced earlier this week what he described as “the largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States.” While Zeldin and others in the administration have argued the cost of these regulations outpaces the environmental gains, their primary focus is less on the science behind climate change and more on the argument that Congress took shortcuts in granting regulatory powers to the EPA in the first place. Whether that assessment proves accurate will be for the courts to decide, but the attempt has sparked fresh debate over both climate change in general and the government’s role in combating it more specifically. And when it comes to that debate, relying on facts over narratives is essential.About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.

Video of late-night brawl in Cincinnati makes headlines
A bloody, late-night brawl in downtown Cincinnati last weekend has generated national attention. Several people took videos of the attack, but only one person called 911. Video evidence shows the man and woman who were beaten to be white and their assailants to be black. A senior figure in the US Justice Department suggested that the attack may have been motivated by race and that suspects could also be charged with federal hate crimes. How can we form a cohesive culture that chooses to love and value our neighbor today?About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.
