Officials are considering deploying an anti-drone laser system near Fort McNair in Washington
DC, where top officials, including war Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco

A federal judge has blocked an executive order from President Trump, which would have stopped
federal funding from going to PBS and NPR.
Daily Wire senior editor Virginia Kruta has the story.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington permanently blocked President Donald Trump's
executive order, ruling that the move was unlawful and unenforceable under the First Amendment.
In his opinion, Moss said that the government cannot engage in, quote,
viewpoint discrimination and retaliation of that kind, pointing to Trump's own public
statements that he wanted to defund the outlets because he viewed them as biased toward
Democrats.
NPR has argued that the administration was trying to punish it for the content of its journalism
by cutting off access to grant money appropriated by Congress.
The ruling keeps the order from taking effect and hands the administration a significant legal
defeat in its efforts to strip federal support from public broadcasting.
A political showdown is brewing between Congressman Eric Swalwell and the FBI just weeks before
California voters headed the polls. Swalwell is threatening legal action after reports that the
bureau may release files tied to his past connection with a suspected Chinese spy.

The FBI against the president's political enemy at a time that we are at war
shows a distraction.
The FBI has not yet commented. The records reportedly involve Christine Fang Fang,
Fang, and alleged Chinese operative who had ties to multiple California politicians.
Swalwell denies any wrongdoing and no charges have been filed.

A case over two middle schoolers and let's go brand and sweatshirts will head to the Supreme Court.
The case involves two Michigan brothers who were told to remove their hoodies for allegedly
breaking the school dress code. The brothers then sued, arguing that the school had violated
their First Amendment rights. Earlier this year, the Sixth Circuit ruled in favor of the school,
finding that the phrase, let's go brand and fell under the First Amendment exception to vulgarity.
The phrase is a popular euphemism for an explicit insult against Joe Biden.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley has called the Sixth Circuit's decision
one of the worst free speech decisions to come out of the appellate courts in years.
The Supreme Court handed down a major conservative win in a near unanimous decision today.
Daily Wire homepage editor Jordan Schroeder has more.
The Supreme Court ruled 8-1-2's date in favor of a Christian counselor,
Kaley T. Leis, who challenged a Colorado law. She said could punish her for helping
gender-confused children become comfortable with their own bodies, instead of pursuing
irreversible transgender medical procedures. The law prohibits counseling that quote,
attempts or reports to change an individual sexual orientation or gender identity.
Chili said that the law violates her First Amendment rights and has prevented her from accepting
several clients. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion that the courts failed to
apply rigorous First Amendment scrutiny in the case. Anne said, quote, while the First Amendment
protects many in varied forms of expression, the spoken word is perhaps the quintessential form
of protected speech. And that is exactly the kind of expression in which Miss Chili's seeks to engage.
Liberal Justices Sotomayor and Alina Kagan wrote a concurring opinion,

Canada's House of Commons has passed a new hate speech bill, which according to critics,
removes protections for religious belief in public discourse. Daily Wire Culture reporter
Megan Basham has the story. The House of Commons just passed Bill C9,
sending the Liberal government's anti-hate legislation to the Senate. The bill became
contentious after Liberals agreed to remove a longstanding religious exemption from Canada's
hate speech law, a protection that currently shields people who quote,
in good faith, express views rooted in religious belief or religious texts. Critics say removing
that carve out could expose people to punishment for publicly voicing traditional religious views
on issues such as homosexuality or gender if those statements are deemed hateful under the law.
Supporters argue the change closes a loophole in existing hate speech protections.
Bill C9 now heads to the Senate, where the fight over the limits of religious speech in
Canada is far from over. A mural of Ukrainian stabbing victim,
Marina Zerutska, in Providence, Rhode Island, is being removed at the request of two
local Democrat politicians. 23-year-old Zerutska, who had recently fled Ukraine,
was brutally stabbed on a Charlotte train in August of 2023, allegedly by a repeat violent criminal.
The mural represented a damning indictment of the soft-on-crime policies that led to her death.
Here's Democrat General Assemblymember David Morales speaking to the press about why he thinks
the mural should be erased. Ultimately, we want to make sure that every community member that calls
Providence Home feels safe, and we can both agree that this mural behind us does not reflect
Providence's values, nor does it reflect the creativity that we want to see in our city.
Providence Mayor Brett Smiley, who ultimately ordered its removal, called the mural divisive.
The suspect, Dakarlas Dewan Brown, Jr. was a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests,
including armed burglary, and had recently shown signs of psychosis, conservative activists
including Elon Musk who funded the mural, so he should never have been on the streets.
And Tiger Woods has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from his latest DUI arrest in Florida.
At the already say two hydrocodone pills were found in his pocket after he crashed and overturned
his SUV near his home. Officers noted Woods showed signs of impairment, including bloodshot

believe he was under the influence of medication at the time of the crash. He faces charges of
driving under the influence, property damage, and refusing a chemical test.
A California man was found dead in an out-of-service unlocked police car days after being released
from jail. Daily wire assistant editor Andy Valdas says the details.

March 26 in the back seat of a police car parked outside of the Azusa police station.
Three days earlier, officers arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence,
but he was later released for a lack of evidence. Relatives said they reported him missing
after his release, and now they want to know how he got into the vehicle and why he remained
there for days unnoticed. Police chief Rocky Wendrick said the car, quote, should have been secured
that an independent firm is investigating and that Valencia's cause of death remains unknown,
pending an autopsy by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
