Last week, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily delayed the effective end date for Afghanistan's TPS designation. Today, the court decided it's now letting the designation expire. Still, the court acknowledged that the Afghans likely had a strong argument.
The Droptines is like Kings of Leon and Koe Wetzel had a baby.
In a move that has frustrated the public and politicians, the DOJ said it found no client list or blackmail evidence in Jeffrey Epstein’s files. What comes next for those still demanding answers? @_LeoBriceno reports: wng.org/roundups/repub…
But DHS isn't just ending it for the countries who've had it for 25 years. It's also ending it for the countries ruled by terrorist organizations that've only had it for 3 years. Read more here: wng.org/roundups/the-t…
Temporary Protected Status was designed to be just that—TEMPORARY. Granted for 18 months under extraordinary circumstances. It was never meant to last a quarter of a century. For many of these countries, TPS was granted in the 90's after natural disasters. Now that conditions…
A federal appeals court just this afternoon delayed the termination date for TPS for Afghan nationals living in the U.S. Roughly 12,000 Afghans have another week of the protection the status provides. Read more @WNGdotorg wng.org/roundups/the-t…
My colleague @danielsalazarTX points out the glaring inconsistencies in the WH approach to Afghanistan. In one breath, it argues that Afghanistan is safe to return to, and in the next, it argues the regime is too dangerous as to warrant a full travel ban on Afghan nationals.

Americans are advised not to travel to Afghanistan because it is too dangerous. But the administration wants to expire temporary protected status for Afghanistan refugees. Excellent report from @JoSHSHoomaker 👇

Free speech advocates are praising the IRS's reinterpretation of the Johnson Amendment, but the move has some pastors concerned over a potential wave of politicization in the church. @CarolinaLumetta reports how pastors are navigating the change: wng.org/roundups/pasto…
Coming soon to a sermon near you...

I feel like this new "vampire diaries" song is the mgk version of Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark." On an unrelated note, it has me HOOKED.
The IRS has agreed that churches can endorse political candidates from the pulpit without risking their tax-exempt status. But opponents of the change argue that churches should remain focused on their mission and not politics. wng.org/sift/churches-…

There's a difference between what the battlefield looks like in Ukraine and what Russia says it looks like. Experts say Ukraine's freedom depends on the U.S. looking past Russia's deceptions and seeing the facts on the ground. Read more @WNGdotorg wng.org/roundups/is-ru…
Deacons are the GOAT
Two Sundays ago, a gunman opened fire outside a Michigan church, but security acted quickly to protect the congregation with one deacon hitting the perpetrator with his truck. @TravisKKircher spoke with several church members about what happened next: wng.org/podcasts/evil-…
