The Justice Department released a report Tuesday, finding that the Biden Administration turned a federal civil rights law into a tool of political persecution, selectively prosecuting pro-life activists under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act while shielding abortion-rights allies from comparable scrutiny. The review drew on more than 700,000 internal records. What investigators found was not mere bureaucratic overreach. It was coordination.

Something unusual is happening in the Middle East — a superpower is asking its closest ally to hold back, and the ally is listening. President Trump has privately urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scale down strikes in Lebanon. The request is delicate, pointed, and timed: negotiations with Iran are imminent, and Washington doesn’t want the cease-fire framework — already fragile, already contested — shaken loose before talks can begin.
